NPR is nothing more than the broadcast arm of the left wing of the Democrat party. Fine. But what bothers me is that money extorted from the taxpayers goes to pay for this partisan drivel. If the Republicans take the House and White House,NPR needs to be tossed off the taxpayer dole right after Planned Parenthood.
They're like Pacifica Radio in the early 60's, when they were cerebral and balanced; they invited in people like Wm. F. Buckley as often as they did Norman Mailer and Izzy "Communist Traitor" Stone (who worked for Moscow).
That changed in 1966 with the commencement of the Vietnamese War. Orders came down from Moscow Center, and the Communists on staff promptly took the place over in a palace coup and slammed the editorial policy over hard left, Moscow-line, and it's stayed there ever since.
Pacifica first came to my attention (tho' there was an outlet here in Houston, buried in the middle of the college radio stations and low-power classical stations) when I was out in California in 1993, and heard on late-night radio some Amerindian racist driveling on about how the People are going to take over America and promptly rename it with some big-cheese Indian name and run all the white people off.
NPR is becoming more and more like Pacifica was in the 60's, and I shouldn't be surprised to find that it's being run now by out-and-out Communists.
