I'm so angry with NPR that I could spit nails

[iowasocialist]

Once again, today on NPR's "All Things Considered", the host interviewed ONLY the Republicans regarding Wisconsin and public sector unions, while lobbing softball questions in an oh-so milquetoast way.

This is not the first time that seemingly no Dems have been interviewed on NPR on this crucial issue of union rights.

I am surprised that the workers' comp bills at NPR aren't sky-high, with all these "reporters" and hosts bending over so far backward to kiss Republican *ss.

1. Stream another station then, like Brian Leher on WNYC

the NY station talks about it all the time and they carry NPR.

2. I'm not a regular listener anymore, but as I understand it, it's been drifting rightward

for sometime. I don't commute as much anymore, used to listen a lot more.

3. NPR has sounded like an organ of the AEI

..American Enterprise Institute, for a few years now.

They have AEI fellows to comment on nearly every story.

4. I'm surprised the repugs want to defund NPR

it's really not too far from fox these days. I can't listen to it any more.

12. They will fund it and then use it as their media like Faux. Making US pay.

5. I quit listening to NPR over a decade ago.

NPR is corporate propaganda.

6. get yourself some independent media!!

7. NPR is a shadow of what it once was

Money and the placement of certain people in NPR has neutered it as
far as being part of "the liberal media." Now, you don't have to be a
sleuth to pick up the right wing talking points from time to time.

8. Hate NPR

My local station does that too. Thank God for XM radio.

9. In order to get those government funds, they

believe they have to cater to the right. I wonder why? Aren't there any Democrats in Congress?

The best thing that could happen to them is to lose those funds, they are apparently a very small amount of their budget. Then they could start being an independent media again.

Right now they are auditioning for the Rightwing Congress to prove to them how 'fair and balanced' they are, practically begging for funding and it's despicable to watch or listen to, so I don't.

10. I heard that...of course it was thus 100%

misinformation and bullshit.

[glinda]

11. Heard it also. Very sad isn't it?
