The Democrat's News Radio Station Fires News Analyst for Telling The Truth

NPR sucks. Zero entertainment value. No enthusiasm. Pure liberal B.S. If it relied on ratings it would have went the way of Air America. Just like the rest.

They don't mind losing Juan. Soros just gave them $1.8 million to hire 100 new reporters. I'm sure they'll be a prime injection of "Fair and Balanced"!!! LOL!

If Fox fired O'Reilly, do you think NPR would hire him? O'Reilly being the #1 watched show on cable? It'd be a smart move on their part, but he wouldn't be allowed to say anything. So, I guess he couldn't go there!

They didn't want Juan going over to Fox to talk about ANYTHING! That's what he was reprimanded for in the past! NPR is a waste of the airwaves. Only serving to help accelerate the downfall of this country. Oh wait, Soros wouldn't get involved in anything like that, given his past! Would he?

 

People on the Right like you would rather be entertained than informed. Facts are boring but if you take the Right wing media approach, you just throw out words like Socialism and Communism and pour on the innuendo and inference, and you can attract any number of low information voters and plain old idiots with low attention spans. Yes entertainment is great but I prefer facts.

And are you actually using Andrew Breitbart as a source? WOW! Nothing I could say could put a finer point on your low information character than your own source.

 

What if I told you that the public funding they get is about 2% of their operating budget. And please don't compare Fox news to NPR. You make yourself guilty of the false equivalence fallacy the Right wing pumps out for the consumption of those that don't know the difference. Don't do their job for them.

 

LOL!! I knew you'd find a way to come up with a cop out. The old tried and true method of attacking the source writes it off for you again, huh? Well, unfortunately this is a true story because the only reason I even knew about it is because it's been all over the news for days now. I copy and pasted the first link that came up for this "not so complex" story but I guess that wasn't good enough. I assumed whitehouse.gov and the Huffington post wouldn't report on it for you so I didn't bother checking. Sorry!

 

I guarantee you that his credentials as a journalist will quickly erode even as his wallet expands. No one will take him seriously from now on.

 

He hypocrite, you're the one who first brought up a FOX news comparison. You did it in your first post.

 

andrew breitbart?????

 

Yesterday, Wilkow listed off what NPR received in public funding for the last 10 years. The amounts gradually increasing every year that goes by. For 2011, it will be $400 million dollars. I don't care what percentage of their budget that is. It doesn't need to be wasted on them.

 

Nobody had even heard of this guy until the Sherrod story came out, then he was blasted for reporting what the White House & NAACP said and was was being reported in the mainstream media. Nobody ever could explain why Breibart was the one vilified though.

 

WTF difference does it make you dumbass! Do a google search and pick whatever source you want you dimwit!!!!

 

Heck, with Soros funding NPR to the tune of $1.8 mill who knows what will happen!

 

Just want to be clear.... that's $400 million of government funds for the single year of 2011. This year they got 390 million. Last year it was around 380 million and so on. They have received billions in the last decade. The idea of 2% is meaningless and was just thrown out here to cloud the issue. They rely heavily on government funding, whether it's directly or indirectly. Just because it's tax money that came from a secondary source doesn't mean it wasn't tax money.

 

A visual of your hero Wilkow...



First you base your argument on Breitbart now this guy. You're not even trying anymore are you?

 

Golly Gee!! Sounds like another one of your fact challenged sources is wrong again. Am I ever surprised by this development!
The conservatives’ new rallying cry — Defund NPR — is actually an old rallying cry, given new life by National Public Radio’s firing of political commentator Juan Williams.
But if history is any guide, the calls to strip NPR’s federal funding that have emerged from the offices of Republican lawmakers and leaders face an uphill battle. They’ve tried this before, several times, and it’s never worked.
Republicans have been trying to strip government subsidies from public broadcasting almost since the inception of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 1967.
Paul Farhi of the Washington Post says the biggest issue now facing NPR is whether the episode causes “lasting damage.”
The threat of a funding cutoff is an old one among conservatives, who have long characterized NPR as a bastion of liberal bias. But some at NPR and in public broadcasting worry about the timing of the calls this time. The Williams controversy broke less than two weeks before a midterm election that may restore Republican control of the House and Senate.
While NPR receives only about 2 percent of its $154 million annual budget from federal sources, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and National Endowment for the Arts, its 800-plus member stations are much more reliant on tax subsidies. Some smaller stations receive as much as a third of their operating revenue from federal sources.

 

The difference it makes is fact over fiction. I rely on facts while you rely on internet blogs of discredited liars that you already agree with and of course name calling. Where would you be without that? You have a small mind.

 

If it gets 2% of its budget from federal sources, it might as well be de-funded. It's not a lot of money (government-wise) but why throw it at something that doesn't really need it?

 

First time you ever heard of him, huh? How long did you have to search youtube to find a supposedly demeaning clip of the man, but which really didn't amount to anything? I'm sure you had to dig deep for that one, but you failed. The man is brilliant. You should listen in now and then. You might learn something.

 

Did you do a google search? Apparently not because it's all over the internet and has been in the news for days. It's not made up but go believe whatever you want in your little fantasy world. Just attack the source and I'm sure there's one or two dimwits out there that will think you "really got me on this one!!" lol

You see, any source I would have C&P'd, other than whitehouse.gov or the Huffington post, you will find a way to attack. Unfortunately, they like to not report the nasty things that you don't want to hear so other people have to report it for us. Do you understand?

 

The 800 plus member stations don't count? What is that amount? We don't get to know? Lets see....tax revenue....going to radio stations....that carry NPR....... Weeeeellll that doesn't count I guess. Wow. I-am-humiliated-now.
