Now Trump wants to destroy public broadcasting

[HumpDayHoratio]

I stopped, and you should have too, at "the organization’s initial stage-one bias has aggressively metastasized."

So you didn’t read the article. Noted. Did you read the link I posted from the Hill? You don’t have to answer that as I already know you didn’t.

Here’s a little tidbit of info…I’m giving it away for free. Instead of reading or listening to things that confirm your confirmation bias, listen to other points of view. It’s how you grow. Not stay in a stunted mental embryonic state.

FWIW…I listen to All Things Considered. Their bias is openly flaunted, but it doesn’t mean they don’t put on a good show.

WHy not, NPR and PBS are commies

You are an idiot.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Again, just to put the icing on the cake….

This is from the other thread. Read carefully what the NPR head said and why she had to step down. It’s why we don’t trust NPR/PBS. It’s why we don’t trust YOU when you tell us that kind of thinking is Okay….

NPR has announced that NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller has resigned. The departure follows the release of a secretly taped video showing then-NPR senior vice president for fundraising Ron Schiller (no relation) making disparaging remarks about conservatives.

NEAL CONAN, host:

Today, NPR announced the resignation of President and CEO Vivian Schiller, that after conservative activists released an undercover ambush video yesterday that showed the company's senior fundraiser disparaging Republicans, conservatives and the Tea Party, and suggesting that, in the long run, NPR would be better off without federal funding.

Not exactly a smoking gun.

Enough of a smoking gun that rooted that shill Schiller out. That’s really not the point. The point is organizations take their cues from the top. If this is what a supposed leader thinks of Republicans then you can only imagine what the rank and file were given the wink and nod to report or who to attack.

Not something she is supposed to be doing if you’re in charge of the National Public Airwaves.

WHy not, NPR and PBS are commies and after 8 years of listening to their baloney hes had enough. I have

They’re really not, just in the fever dreams of the right. Besides, y’all really want to be the ones who cancel the Tiny Desk Concerts? Don’t be nasssti!

Exactly the kind of idiocy I'm talking about.

Just make it all Jazz and Blues 24/7/365, not what it is now, a mouth piece for libtards

 

[eric_erosfan]

Only a true mental midget listens to NPR and thinks that level of deep thinking needs to be shut down.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

What’s the market value of NPR? Probably could be acquired for very small price.

"Libtard" = "a whole lot smarter than you," pretty much by definition.

Fuck that shit! Classical!

Growing up on TV is becoming recognized as harming childhood development. Kids will eventually kick that addiction, including the internet. Radio could last much longer.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Destroy? Nah, just de-fund it. They'll still have their begging marathons.

Some form of mass communication will always be with us.

The OP must have read the other thread and got triggered…

NPR and PBS need to be overhauled from the top down. I posted some links in the other thread as to why but here is a good Synopsis of why defunding NPR/PBS needs to happen.

Dead link.

We're $36 trillion in debt and this isn' t essential. Defund it and get the got out. If Libs want to fund it, good luck to them.

"Progressives" want to fund everything...........................with other peoples money.

Well, Trump is saying no to that.

If they want it, they can fund it themselves. That gravy train has sailed. Next, defund Planned Murderhood.

Yet another money laundering scheme.

You are an idiot.

Not as much as you Gertrude.

It's people who want to fund everything with other people's money who do more real good in the world than anybody else. No POTUS ever did the country more good than FDR.

If you think NPR and PBS are Commies, you are an idiot.

Public broadcasting is a thing we would be worse off without. What else is he going to destroy?
