NPR, GEORGE SOROS AND THE OPEN SOCIETY

Well, it's seems George Soros and his "OPEN SOCIETY" organization are not so open when it comes to their donations to NPR. As enterprising journalist James O'Keefe shows in this report:

So who gives money to NPR?

So who else do the people on the NPR  Board of Directors give money to. Well there is no surprise there!

Eh Tu Keillor?

So on a Prairie Home Companion last Saturday Garrison Keillor could not contain himself and just had to refer to the Republican Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker as Governor Mubarak. Nice. Oh, I see my local NPR station (WSHU) is fund raising this week.  After Keillor's unnecessary and uncalled for remark it's easy to keep my checkbook closed.

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.

MONEY FOR NOTHING & SPEECH THAT ISN'T FREE

Hello taxpayers:

Seems that the liberals running NPR have lit a firecracker and it may have too short a fuse. Seems the firing of Juan Williams and the comments from NPR's CEO just might  blow up in their faces. Calls are starting to come from congress to defund NPR with our tax dollars. Others are chiming in too:

In the wake of commentator Juan Williams’ feckless firing by National Public Radio, supporters on the Internet sounded a cheeky rallying cry: “Free Juan!” But Williams has now been liberated from the government-funded media’s politically correct shackles. It’s taxpayers who need to be untethered from NPR and other state-sponsored public broadcasting.
Public radio and public television are funded with your money to the tune of some $400 million in direct federal handouts and tax deductions for contributions made by individual viewers, not to mention untold state grants and subsidies."-Michelle Malkin

Well why not? Take that 400 million and put it toward bringing down the deficit. Let billionaire George Soros use his money to replace NPR's loss. He's funding them already.

WHERE TO BEGIN?

I've been listening to National Public Radio for years I even did radio shows at stations that were NPR affiliates in my younger days in college and beyond. Yes, I'm a registered Democrat but, I'm also recovering Liberal (it's a 12 step process). I have not been on the air in years but, still listen to a lot of radio. One of the stations I listen to is an NPR station near me during the day which has mostly a classical music format. But, I find myself either turning it off or getting pissed off when some of the NPR "news" programs come on like ALL THINGS CONSIDERED etc... The fact that the station carries these NPR programs has often prevented me from donating money. I don't want to support NPR anymore than I have too. When I do listen to the NPR programs the politically correct bias of the NPR mentality comes through loud and clear. Especially, I've  notice on stories that deal with the illegal immigration problem in the United States. It's so easy to hear how the reporters and editors have been co-opted by the liberal and open borders crowd on the issue to down play or not cover the serious consequences of the failure of our Federal Government to enforce immigration laws.  Especially when they use words like "undocumented workers", "migrant workers" etc... instead of the proper term which is illegal alien. The firing of liberal leaning Juan Williams for expressing his feelings and concerns following the terrorist attack on the Was the final straw for me and why I started this blog. NPR has no shortage of stories or commentators expressing their "feelings". The trouble for Williams his "feelings" did not fit in the tight Liberal confines of the NPR dogma. So they fired his ass. Perhaps they are not so "liberal" after all. So there it is. I'm not sure how much I'll be posting here but, when I hear something on NPR that raises my eyebrow at least I'll have a place to point it out and rant. Now back to my regularly scheduled life.
