NPR......

Of course, we wouldn't miss it since no one listen to them. However, my prediction is it public tv and radio will get plenty of handouts as soon as the top people who criticized the fascist on the right (ignoring or supporting the fascist on the left) are fired.

Then everybody kisses and makes nice and "public media" will live on until all of our money is split between them. That's Washington for you!

Yesterday’s videotaped revelations by the intrepid James O’Keefe provides welcome grist for many mills. Most obviously, it offers irrefutable evidence that National Public Radio employs elitists who are hostile to Republicans, Tea Party activists, and others derided as gun-toting, white “racists.”

The principal focus of the expose filmed last month, Ron Schiller, the network’s now-departed vice president of development and president of the NPR Foundation, declared that his organization would be “better off in the long-run” without government underwriting.

Presumably, such sentiments will make it impossible for members of Congress to justify continued public funding of the organization when the Senate considers the decision taken by the House of Representatives to zero out NPR in the latest stopgap funding measure.
