NPR Hit Piece on Rally for America

National Public Radio's Marketplace

[swilhelm73]

So, they'll throw out any dirt they can get on pro-war rallies...but has NPR covered who is behind the pro-appeasement rallies? You'd think the union of former communists and islamists would merit some serious discussion in the press...

[merrin]

I see, so if it's organized by hard-left groups, then it's "genuine," but if it's organized by a radio network, it's not.

Got it.

NPR, frontmen for terror, evil, and deviant behavior.

Marketplace seems to include a leftist opinion piece in every edition.

[Rocko]

Boycott/defund NPR.

NPR should have their funding discontinued. Then let's see how they fair in the free market. I do not like my tax dollars funding their second ammendment rights.

Gee NPR...how is it you forgot to report on your sister "Public Broadcasting" stations Pacifica? They have been organizing and mobilizing the ultra left for anti-war protests.

Strange to take umbrage at a commercial station while you give a pass to a TAX funded one. Did I say strange? I meant hypocritical.

Paul Krugman said this too, but he's no journalist, not by a long shot. I can't believe my tax dollars go to this crap.

Bump for later reading

[Drango]

Gee NPR...

For the record, Marketplace is technically PRI...which is just another shell under the CPB propaganda machine.

Bookmark to forward to Glenn Beck later. Why are my hard earned dollars being wasted on this communist broadcasting group?

That would work, but...
NPR is kept alive by idiots who think it's a free speech issue.
If anyone of us said one fourth the vile garbage that NPR does, we'd be arrested for hate speech.

[Shermy]

They've found for themselves a pat excuse not to consider the protests and their message.

[KOZ.]

I knew you two were working for NPR!!!

koz.

[CatoRenasci]

I heard the piece driving home (after Sean Hannity was over) and was infuriated: NPR was the pot calling the kettle black! NPR is cozy with the Demoncrats (remember the flap about mailing lists at WGBH in Boston) and very much anti-war biased. I found their tu quo que attack on Clearchannel despicable.

[Tamzee]

It's actually a bit worse...

Krugman at New York Times took the same salon.com column and turned it into a grand-slam which implied the rally participants were Nazis...

AFAIK, Pacifica is not publically funded.

Talk show host Glenn Beck was called by NPR to do a taped interview on the Rallies. It ended up being a "non-Story" according to his relating of the session. The NPR interviewer didn't want to hear that there was no political motivation or that Clear Channel did not sponsor nor instigate the Rallies.
Beck did a follow-up NPR "commercial" on his show that was great. Aired on FRiday 3/21. Might be on his web page.
