NPR deleted a tweet on Friday calling Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated on Friday, “a divisive arch-conservative.”

“Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a divisive arch-conservative and one of his nation’s most powerful and one of his nation’s most powerful and influential figures, has died after being shot during a campaign speech Friday in western Japan, hospital officials said,” tweeted NPR.

NPR reprinted the Associated Press report on Abe’s death, the first paragraph of which read the same as the tweet.

What happened to Abe was a warning to Trump and anyone who thinks like him..they want us dead, and they can do it easy peasy without consequence..and they will say “Oh he was a controversial figure” commie speak for “We hated his politics so good riddance”

It has a strong current of snobby arrogance running through its news feed. That’s what makes it attractive to their arrogant listeners. There’s nothing like the condescending smarm of these self-important yet inconsequential people..

Amazing, isn’t it? The ChiComs’ narratives seamlessly become our MSM’s narratives.

First thing Trump should do - cut off all funds to the NPR and media.

“NPR don’t screech or scream, nor speak in radical slogans. Their news and interviews are delivered in a manner of calm professionalism -”

Delivered with droning, sincere voices. They repeat the message several times a day to make sure everyone is sufficiently programmed.

I bet Jews who didn’t want to get into the train cars were called “divisive” by the Nazis too. Up until they were shot for non-compliance.

After seeing the lockdowns and deprivation of rights in Israel for the Scamdemic, I wouldn't be too sure.

NPR needs to be disbanded and shutdown. It’s 100% globohomo commie propaganda.

It is amazing how the funding for NPR works. It takes a convoluted route through university budget help to each state. Try to cut it off and dozens of stake holders loose funds as well. Quite nefarious.

This was China—using classic Sun Tzu tactics of preparing the battlefield before they invade Taiwan.
