Conservative Group Not Satisfied with NPR Apology, Plans to Sue

HMMMMM..can we also sue the BALD DEMON FROM HELL, carville?! There must be a loop hole, something we can charge him with! There's just GOT to be something! Any top lawyers out there? How about it, any suggestions? Can we sue him for slander?

[McGavin999]

I hope they sue the pants off these people. What was said was dispicable. Since it's a public radio financed with OUR tax money, I hope the people responsible are fired and I hope that congress cuts their funds COMPLETELY.

[3AngelaD]

Just take away their public funding. They are using taxpayer money to further a leftist, Democrat agenda. It is wrong for Congress to continue to allow them to do that with money supplied by taxpayers, 99 percent of whom don't listen to NPR drivel and probably 90 percent of whom would be 1) disgusted and/or 2) bored out of their skulls if they did listen. As someone so wrote a couple of years back, NPR programming is like listening to someone with a droning voice read aloud the most boring page of that day's New York Times. And then there is the female reporter who has a lisp so bad that she is difficult to understand under the best of circumstances. And then there are the twinkie fairy princes they allow to recite little "essays." I could go on, but then I'd be as bad as NPR. I quit listening several years ago and it improved my quality of life immensely.

[Texbob]

Give them something worse than a law suit, stop listening to NPR and watching NPTV.

[gaspar]

Since when is slander a "mistake". Sue the poshtik out of them!

[willgetsome]

I hope they really stick it to NPR. I've lost count on the number of biased statements their reporters have made. In fact, one of them proclaimed the 1 year anniversary of Bush's appointement to President. Another corrected a guest for saying that Bush was elected while constructing a timeline of events leading up to the current corporate scandals. The host said that the guest should be congnizant of the fact that a "MAJORITY" of the Public Radio audience does not regard Bush as elected.

Rev. Lou Sheldon, TVC's chairman told CNSNews.com he was not impressed with Klose's apology. "There are many other things he must do in an apology. He is sorry that he was caught," said Sheldon.

Go get them Rev. Sheldon. They are just like the NAACP, just another mouth piece for the Rats at all taxpayer's expense. They should be shut down.

[gcruse]

Regardless of PBR, TVC should be drawn and quartered for egregious spamming of uninterested parties.

[Right Wing Professor]

The host said that the guest should be congnizant of the fact that a "MAJORITY" of the Public Radio audience does not regard Bush as elected.

So, if they don't regard him to be legitimately the president, they can't in good conscience ask him to sign the appropriations bill that funds them, can they?

[maxwell]

Nah, it just don't work when conservs get all p!ssed (and rightfully so) over liberal slander... Now, a lib can stand up and attribute all kinds of horse-hockey to the right, and everybody will get into a panty-twist over it. When conservs get offended, nobody pays attention.

[skeeter]

Yet another story destined to miss Big Media's news cycle.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Kevin Klose offers his "professional" apology. What, exactly, is Mr. Klose' profession ?

[Right Wing Professor]

What, exactly, is Mr. Klose' profession ?

The oldest profession in the world.

[Pilsner]

MMMMM..can we also sue the BALD DEMON FROM HELL, carville?! There must be a loop hole, something we can charge him with! There's just GOT to be something!

Carmille is enough to make one wish the Constitution didn't forbid Bills of Attainder.

[cksharks]

A democrat whore!

VPR in Vermont has been a bastion of liberal-socialist crap for 20 years.

It used to be 90 % classical, with a smattering of jazz and country and very limited talk. Now those few jerks still listening get 2 hours of slanted news in the a.m. instead of music and two more hours of "Hot Air" with Terry (She's gotta be) Gross in the p.m. drive time. Weekends the dopes get blessed with the likes of David Schoenbrun and his anti-conservative BS.

In the a.m. when they finally get to music at 9:00 a.m. they have some announcer on (he has been there from day one)who has a speech impediment and sounds like he is broadcasting from Ozark Public Radio

They got all the country fan pissed when they dropped all that programming. They used to throw a bone to jazz buffs with Marian MacPartland....I don't know if even she is still on.

On top of all that...when I got their Form 990 I found out that the board of directors had ok'd a loan of $35,000 @ 6% to their new "President" so he could "buy a house."

I wonder if the contributors were ever told about that. NOT!

I suggest that all Freepers write their Public TV and Radio stations and ask for IRS form 990. The form lists all income and expenses and MUST be sent upon request by a state resident.

Go over it carefully and check such expenses as salaries, work hours, travel, conferences, continuing educ., etc.

I'll bet many of you will be amazed at where the "contributions" go.

I think the more interesting part of this story is the bit about Traditional Values being upset with Daschle and Leahy who were trying to get rid of the phrase "so help me god".

Wasn't it Daschle and Leahy who were so quick to denounce the 9th circuit opinion regarding the pledge?

Just thinkin' out loud...
