More National Public Backlash

If you don't think the greater goal here is marginalizing, crippling, or removing NPR's reporting completely from the American landscape, then you've not been paying attention to FOX in the last 24 hours.

From calling Tea Party members “Tea Baggers,” to saying that "the evaporation of 4 million" Christians would leave the world a better place, to suggesting that God could give former Sen. Jesse Helms or his family AIDS from a blood transfusion, NPR's personalities have said some pretty un-PC things in the past. A look at the record reveals no shortage of intolerant statements and unbalanced segments on the publicly sponsored network's airwaves.

Let's not forget the folks leading the charge against yanking NPR funding are such conservative "luminaries" like Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and Newt Gingrich...all of whom are employed by FOX News.

War has been declared, folks.  They will not rest until NPR...and all other non-FOX news...is gone for good.

That's how they roll in the Age of Celebrating Ignorance.

You're fighting a losing battle here. That Fox article is pretty damning evidence that all public funding should be pulled from this biased organization.

Let them run on Soros dollars. In the age of the internet there's no need for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting anyway.

Time to put an end to this farce. It won't be funded with my tax dollars any longer.

Better be careful or Zandar will go off in a hissy fit and lock the comments.

Liberals do so get tired of being proven wrong.

Oh good. The Tards have found a new shiny object with which to distract their tiny-penised followers.

You guys knock yourself out defunding NPR, all 1-3% of its funding that comes from federal sources.

We'll be impeaching Clarence Thomas for perjury.

are you kidding? can you really be so deluded as to think that what you wrote is true only of libs? is this possible? you really think the conservative analogues to Z's blog are always correct and/or happily welcoming contrary viewpoints? you must truly be an insane person to have convinced yourself of that. really. loosen your tin-foil hat and take a look in the mirror, you fucking lunatic.

I know SteveAR took up residence on your couch after I banned him from my place, Zandar, but is he now posting as Anonymous? You have my sympathies.

And, um, this is the best Fox can do? Seven "outrages" going back fifteen years? Anyone with a mind to do it can find that many outrages on Fox in a week (or a day).

(Which is not to say that the bastards won't win.)

Aww man, now I'm curious as to why he got banned. I should visit your place more often.

It ain't me. I don't do comments as Anonymous.

Because Steve M. isn't interested in debate. Kind of like Obama, the Democrats in Congress, and just about every other liberal.
