NPR's "Undecided" Voter Exposed

Fraters Libertas ^ | September 17, 2004 | David Ragsdale

A first in a series of chats with NPR's very own swing voter. Commentator John Ridley is still undecided.....Except that Ridley has not had much problem deciding who to give his money to. He dropped a cool $500 into John Kerry's coffers in March according to Open Secrets and Fund Race 2004. Open Secrets also has him tossing Wes Clark $500 in January.

[dufekin]

That was March. He, like most Kerry partisans, now question their own sanity and seriously consider George w. Bush.

[Don Corleone]

What he was indecisive on was the amount($) not the party.

[Stellar Dendrite]

This behavior from National Propaganda Radio? Nahhh......

[oblomov]

I wrote a letter to NPR about this. You can too:

ombudsman@npr.org


Remember, a polite, cogent letter can get things done.

[Drango]

Flip flops are ok if it's from the left.

[Notwithstanding]

He also has self-described himself as "politcally liberal."

[Mad Dog Charlie]

Great idea, exactly as you suggest. Thanks

[sarasotarepublican]

Oh really O'Reilly.

Where is Laura when you need her.

[68skylark]

You mean there's bias on NPR!!! I've been listening to them for years -- and now you tell me I've been getting slanted information?!

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I listen to NPR sometimes on my morning work commute. I can guarantee there are no Republicans involved in their program format. They are fair to both sides though, the liberals and the democrats.

[narby]

Commutes to LA to work, eh?

Looks like a great guy to check up the voter rolls to see if he votes in both places.....

The NPR ombudsman doesn't give a rat's hiney what you or I think...IMHO.

[mdefranc]

Gee, maybe Ridley is just prone to flip-flops, as is... oh, never mind.

[oblomov]

Maybe not, but we can try. I think that the Kerry Spot-initiated campaign to write CBS affiliates about the Danron scandal might have more impact.

[Bonaparte]

Thanks, oblomov! Email sent!

[pollwatcher]

My threshold for any NPR news and commentary is down to about 2 minutes now. Occasionally listen to some of the music and entertainment, though.

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

We should write our CONGRESSMEN and have public funding TURNED OFF due to unethical journalism purpotrated by NPR! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! NPR can't be allowed to continue their biased reporting!

let's get him, boys!
