               Truth is a choice a conscious decision to believe... I like to consider what's possible and what's likely using my experience with common sense since real truth can never be known... but in this case it was a setup however no one put the words in the mouths of those execs so regardless of the source its likely the feeling expressed were real especially in light of recent goings on at NPR like Juan Williams firing for example.

   NPR is just a great way for poor people to receive quality programming if they can't afford cable.
   It's no wonder the Repubs don't like it....it's nice and it shows the marks of a true culture.
   Repeat after me: All that matters to Repubs is $$$.
   Since the last time they cut $ from NPR, there has been more commercials, and more fund-rasing going on.
   It's annoying.
   After all, when you can afford cable, you can watch stations with no commercials if you choose.
   
   Once again, Repubs stand for taking away something from the lowest class of American people.
   I mean, they had no problem funding the subsidies for the trillian $$ oil companies, yet the pittance that NPR receieved is too much of a "burden".

   LaLo, I'm not surprised by what those NPR cretins said about people who aren't liberal.  Did you really expect them to be tolerant?  What he said means that we should start defunding NPR.  He says that they are not reliant on it, so why give them any money.  In addition, this tells me that the NPR is for just a particular segment of the public and not the whole public, again another reason not to publicly support NPR.  That they would meet with a lobby for a Muslim front group and that they would say that Jews control all newspapers tells me that their product is not unbiased as they like to say they are.

   Another swing and a miss for James O'Keefe. When are Republicans going to hire professionals to carry out the dirty tricks like the good ol' days with guys like G. Gordon Liddy? This teenybopper O'Keefe is an amateur. He was exposed for editing most of the whole ACORN/pimp video, his plot to embarrass a CNN reporter failed miserably when she refused to go along with his crude advances, and now he couldn't get NPR to accept his fraudulent $5 million donation while posing as a member of a Muslim organization.
   
   All O'Keefe got was an NPR exec running his mouth off about the Tea Party. Who here is shocked that someone said the Tea Party is full of bigots? I wonder where he would get that impression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoKd8CCdsxU

      Well it was more than just a trashing of the Tea Party as you probably know by now. It seems to be at least a triple for Okeefe with Shiller being forced to resign. If the NPR funding is cut it will be a HR! Should the public really fund a racist organization that would provide a voice to an extremist group on the public airwaves for a cash donation? That's actually what was being discussed. Now being a regular NPR listener I feel I've been duped all trust in their reporting is now lost for me.

      Wow, that's two hits!  Defunding NPR would be a total home run.

         Keep the hits coming! They must hear the brakes being applied to their gravy train over there.

    "In 2009, NPR revenues totalled $164 million, with the bulk of revenues coming from programming fees, grants, contributions and sponsorships"
    
    
    Lol!! That's LESS than Michelle Bachmann took from the "gangster gvt'!!
    Ahaha--SHE took $250 mil!
    And that went to HER privately!!
    NPR serves millions.
    
    My My MYYYYYYYY
    
    You all think NPR steals from you....Michelle--you better get your guns lined up--they're coming for you.
    ****What's that?**** OH, she's a Republican, so it's OK if she takes tax-payer money. For herself. Got it.

    Just as an aside....
    Bachmann was foster mom to 23 kids.
    My grandsons' day-care provider is a foster-mom. She gets $150.00 a week per child. Plus medical. Plus food-stamps. Plus clothing allowance.
    Imagine the nest-egg with 23 kids.  Woooooooooo! Wouldn't have to work a day, huh??
    
    What a scam. What a gig. Taking in kids for the money huh?
    Wow--she gives new meaning to the term welfare queen doesn't she?
    She took in those kids for the money.
    Just like poor moms do, right?

    What? You mean in Minnesota they don't give the foster parents a GUN for each foster kid?
    But they do give medical. And Michelle Bachmann accepted it.
    But wait... isn't that like... government run healthcare?
    Sounds suspiciously like "Obamacare" to me.
    *hmmm*
