NPR-Falsely-Claims-GOP-Invented-Sequestration

"Ahead of the President's State of the Union speech, taxpayer funded National Public Radio (NPR) tried to help the White House push the false notion that the sequestration budget cuts was conceived by Republicans. In truth, it was initiated by Obama and pushed by the Democrat Party."-More here

So much for the reporting of Joe Biden's so called "legitimate media" getting the facts correct. 

NO LOVE FOR AMERICA AT NPR!

NPR White House correspondent Ari Shapiro doesn't stand for our national anthem and won't recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Why? Because he places his position as a "journalist" above love of county. But, one wonders, does Shapiro understand that without this country he wouldn't be free to be a journalist?

ALL THINGS NOT CONSIDERED: OCCUPY TERRORISM

I guess it should not surprise us that the NPR program ALL THINGS CONSIDERED did not even mention once the five anarchist with the Occupy Cleveland movement were arrested by the FBI today while attempting to get explosives to blow up a bridge in Cleveland. You need to go to other news sources for that story:

"A mohawk-wearing anarchist nicknamed "Cyco" was among five men arrested after allegedly conspiring to blow up a bridge about 15 miles south of Cleveland, according to court documents released Tuesday.
Douglas L. Wright, 26, joined alleged co-conspirators Brandon L. Baxter, 20, a.k.a. "Skabby," and Anthony Hayne, 37, a.k.a. "Tony" and "Billy," in a plot authorities say homed in on the Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge, which spans the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and carries a four-lane highway." -Daily Caller

NPR's lack of coverage  is also not surprising since workers at NPR stations have been know to be shills for the anarchist Occupy Wall Street movement.  This just another example of the leftist bias that pervades National Public Radio these days. Domestic terrorism is not worthy for broadcast if it puts the anarchists of the Occupy Wall Street movement in a bad light. They just ignore the story and hope no one notices their blackout of the story. Just another reason why NPR sucks!

NPR's COMMON CAUSE CONNECTIONS

Sometimes it's not what NPR tells it's listeners. It's what it does not tell them. Here is the latest ethical outrage:

"For its efforts, ALEC has recently come under a coordinated assault by many leftist organizations, especially Common Cause and 9-11 truther Van Jones' Color of Change. NPR's report purportedly raised "questions" over ALEC's tax status and quoted extensively from Common Cause. What listeners didn't learn, however, was that NPR's reporter, Peter Overby formerly worked for Common Cause."

"NPR's report also relied extensively on the opinion of Marcus Owens, a tax attorney at the firm Caplain & Drysdale. Left out of NPR's report, however, was the fact that Owens' firm recently represented Common Cause in litigation against the IRS. Of course, NPR treats Owens as a disinterested expert on non-profit tax law, raising "questions" which Common Cause can then echo later in the story. NPR's listeners might have benefited from the knowledge that there was a business interest between Owens' firm and Common Cause."  -BIG JOURNALISM

OBAMA'S A NO JOKE ZONE AT NPR!

"Today's edition of National Public Radio's weekly On the Media show featured a segment on recycled advertising slogans, which closed by spoofing the Republican presidential candidates--but declining to spoof President Barack Obama."- BIG JOURNALISM

SEX AND DRUGS AND THE CLUELESSNESS OF NPR

NPR's afternoon show ALL THINGS CONSIDERED aired a report the other day by Carrie Johnson about human trafficking here in the U.S. here is one of the money quotes:

"The MS-13 gang got its start among immigrants from El Salvador in the 1980s. Since then, the gang has built operations in 42 states, mostly out West and in the Northeastern United States, where members typically deal in drugs and weapons. "

Of course true to the liberal bias that pervades NPR's news programs there was no mention of illegal immigration and how it is at the core of this problem here in the United States. The report completely ignores how enforcement of immigration laws would also address the problem of human trafficking at the same time.
Of course there is no mention of the Federal Governments failure in that regard either. Just another example of the clueless and/or biased reporting of National Public Radio. Just another reason why NPR sucks!

NPR EMPLOYEE SHILLS FOR OCCUPY DC GROUP

Once again when you shake the NPR building and the leftist come falling out. Here is the latest NPR outrage:

"National Public Radio host Lisa Simeone appears to be breaking the taxpayer-subsidized network’s ethics rules by acting as a spokeswoman for Occupy D.C. group “October 2011,” which is currently “occupying” Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C."

"It’s unclear if NPR or WAMU granted Simeone an “exception” from its ethics policy to participate in, and advocate for, the Occupy protests. If neither entity did grant her an exception, it’s unclear what, if anything, NPR and WAMU plan to do about her ethics violation."

Well, it's pretty clear what outraged listeners should do and that is not donate any more of their hard earned money to an organization like NPR and WAMU that would allow someone to represent an anarchist inspired organization like Occupy DC and Occupy Wall Street while on their payroll.

NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO HELP A REAL PUBLIC RADIO STATION IN THE DC AREA.  I SUGGEST WBJC 91.5 FM IN BALTIMORE.  THAT'S WHAT WE DO. PLENTY OF CLASSICAL MUSIC WITHOUT THE LEFTIST BIAS OF THE NPR PROGRAMMING. YOU CAN ALSO LISTEN TO THEM ON LINE
