Hacks. Liars.

“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories”

From the outfit which covered “Kony” as though it was a “real” story.

That is why I quit wasting my time listening to NPR 30 years ago. Although, I will admit on long trips, if an NPR station is playing classical music and I’m in a talk radio “desert”, I’ll listen to it.

From NPR: “ . . . we don’t want to waste listeners’ and readers’ time on that stories that are just pure distractions.””

I guess that explains why they ignored the entire ‘Russian election interference’ story for three years !

[Buckeye McFrog]

Tell me again, Mitch, why we chose not to defund them?

I was a teenager when Watergate happened. It led the nightly news on all three (soon to be four) stations every night for about two years. Many nights would be entirely devoted to Watergate, with all other news given in the last 90 seconds of the broadcast.

Newsweek, to which I had a subscription thanks to my parents, had something like 58 consecutive covers devoted to Nixon and Watergate.

There was a paper somewhere that took to putting all Watergate-related stories in an easy-to-pull-out section so people could discard it if they wanted.

Hopefully with that tweet, NPR wrote its own death warrant.

Pull the plug on them already!

[Howie66]

It would be cool if NPR showed that kind of determination in refusing to take our Tax Dollars.

This liberal conspiracy of silence has the side effect of letting fact checkers label truth-tellers as liars, because “trusted” liberal sources didn’t verify it.

Fine, NPR now owns this. When Trump wins, the FBI should investigate Hunter Biden and report the facts. Then if true, NPR should be stripped of all federal funding and all of its member stations FCC radio licenses.

Any listener of NPR tunes in to waste time.

No problem wasting our money though.

Ah we now have proof positive that the NPR HQ is in Mos Eisley.

And that Obi-Wan had NPR in mind when he uttered the famous quote, “...wretched hive of scum and villainy”.

We all know that pack of losers would have the success of Yugo if they did not rely on dumb*ss liberal and government tits. (Yup, used that word to OFFEND liberal Obamaholes.)

[Carl Vehse]

Defund the NPR enemydia!

[lastchance]

Cut the purse strings NOW!

Please win this election and then there will be justice.
