NPR SHILLING ONCE AGAIN FOR OBAMA

Once again NPR is caught shining President Obama's butt and down playing the real force behind the house cancellation of a redundent aircraft engine.  This NPR suckup moment came on tonights All Things Considered broadcast.  Here is the Obama butt kissing headline:

"In Win For Obama, House Kills Jet Fighter Engine"
by David Welna


A win for Obama? Really? How about a win for the American taxpayer who will not have to pay for this redundant program.  While making it seem like this was all Obama's doing in the headline. The report downplays the real hero's who made it happen. Notably there is no mention of the Conservative or "Tea Party" candidates who came to congress ready to start cutting government waste: Here is the biased money quote from NPR:

"In a notable reversal from last year, the House has voted to kill an expensive alternative jet fighter engine. It's a win for President Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and a loss for the House speaker and others, whose districts would lose jobs. Half of Republicans who have been calling for deep spending cuts voted to retain the engine. But freshmen elected on a mandate to cut spending put their money where their mouth is and voted to kill it."

Notice the comment about "half the Republicans" of course no bad words about the Democrats. Even though some of them were the real porkers in trying get U.S. taxpayers to pay for this redundent engine. Also note how they go out of their way not to avoid any mention of the "Tea Party" influence in the congressional vote. They are just "freshman elected on a mandate".  The Reports like this show the bias that pervades NPR and are just another reason why NPR sucks!

IT'S ABOUT TIME TO DEFUND NPR!

I for am glad that the Republicans are looking at cutting NPR's budget. Why should taxpayers have to pay for a government service that has such a politically Liberal bias in it's broadcasts. So much so that they even fire arguably liberal commentators like Juan Williams just because he also comments on the conservative Fox News Channel.  I've also mentioned the bias that show up in various programs and news stories that are heard on NPR when they cover important national issues. They use the Orwellian term "undocumented workers" more often than not when describing illegal aliens. This is the influence of Liberal and open borders groups like La Raza have on NPR. Enough is enough! I'm sure their are plenty of Hollywood liberals who could pony up some funds to make up the difference if the government defunds them.
I heard on NPR this evening that the  claim that the funding NPR receives from the Federal Government is a minute portion of the budget.

MEMO TO NPR:
Some of us taxpayers think that $400 million is a lot of money to be spending on an organization like NPR that let's it's bias flow out everyday on the airwaves unchecked. Well, maybe now is the time for NPR and PBS to pay the piper and get the money from somewhere else other than the U.S. taxpayers. Though in their minds they may think the world could not live without them. The reality is that NPR and PBS are not "essential government services" even more so in these belt tightening economic times.
