NPR Still Hasn't Learned Its Lesson

Myth.

83% of that production is family farms. Non-reading, indeed!

Calling large scale family owned farms a family farm is a joke. Using the same categorization Walmart is family owned business since the Waltons own 50%. OR Dell. Or Tyson foods. LOL. Give me a break.

A tiny percent of those farms are publicly traded. But keep moving those proverbial goalposts.

NPR gets 1% of its income from the federal government. They dont care what you think.

A deliberately misleading halftruth.

NPR gets fees from local stations, including the rural ones you are so concerned about.

Those local stations are funded by CPB, which is federally funded.

They report out their financials. They get almost no money from the US government. Your spin doesn’t change that.

Starting in January rural red state shit holes can pull their own weight.

Our weight in paying obnoxious and condescending soybois, manhaters, and middle-eastern student visa holders to lecture us on how terrible our tastes in presidents is?

We'll be fine without it, thanks. Shut down the NPR affiliates and give the bandwidth to Dave Ramsay, Laura Schlessinger, Gun Rights podcasts, and Best of Charlie Kirk.

Why do we want to pay for Blue State Blather?

I tell you what. You start farming and I'll continue to make loads of money in US capitalism and lets compare retirement options in a few years.

What will you eat?

Do you have things you love to hate? NPR is one of those for me. During my afternoon errands, I tuned in to NPR now that Rush Limbaugh is gone.

Observations:
1) Three times an hour, they ***** about their rescinded government funding and appeal for donations. One would assume if their leftwing propaganda is that much in demand, they wouldn't have to beg every 20 minutes.

2) They cover the same four stories all the time: 1) War in Gaza 2) Climate change. 3) Immigration ICE abuse and 4) some feminist heroine profile. Their segments always take the leftwing position and have some down-and-out victim with a sob story. And always, always, always, Trump is to blame. They will also sprinkle in stories of the day. Today, it was the fired CDC director Susan Monrarez. (Trump is anti-science) and the firedFed governor Lisa Cook (Trump is a racist. Trump seeking retribution). The possibility of Cook actually committing a crime was never addressed. Also thrown in was the DC takeover. (DC doesn't need it. Trump is Hitler). Also discussed was the Catholic School shooting. (Troubled person who acted alone). The trans issue is mentioned only in context conservatives' hateful reaction to it. No, it could not possibly be related to the crime

3) They have panels to discuss these issues. Always a journalist from the Atlantic, New York Times or Huffington Post; and someone from academia; a Harvard or Columbia professor Not one voice on the panel even close to conservative. And yet the CEO Katharine Maher claims 100% objectivity: "For decades, NPR clung to the fiction that it is committed to serving Americans across the political spectrum.” She said it with a straight face.

4) It is clear NPR has not learned its lesson. It is still outrageously leftwing. Nothing even close to objective. Same tired stories. Same tired format. Nothing to merit government funding ever again. Donation pitch "Please help us continue to present the programming people need." Nobody needs that Marxist claptrap.

NPR should take a page from CNN. CNN was smart enough to hire conservative Scott Jennings as a political analyst. Because of him, I switch over to CNN's Laura Coates show when Gutfeld's show comes on. Jennings is so good and so quick, he annihilates the mouthy black leftwing women who talk over him. He gets his jabs in and totally dominates.

Funny you think of them like a child that needs to be punished. Nothing else you can do about it. The funds were the only leverage your side had and they are gone.

Dont care. I am just glad to have one less way to subsidize your bloodsucking rural areas. Already laughing at their hospital closings. 200+ in the last 20 years. Basically 10 every year. Oh well.

Very glad Trump stuck it to NPR. Well done, Mr. President!

I am glad they are still around to piss you off. Well done, NPR!!

I love that leftwingers are having to foot the bill.

Its nothing close to “left wing propaganda” which is why you guys really hate it so much. And they’re not “bitching” about rescinding government funding. They are listener supported and the actively solicit donations.

2) They cover the same four stories all the time: 1) War in Gaza

Yep...way overboard on that.

2) Climate change.

Nope...they talk about it because it’s something that affects much of what we’re experiencing. It seems like they talk about it often becuase much of what they discuss is unusual weather which is driven by climate change more and more.

3) Immigration ICE abuse

I don’t think they talk about it enough.

and 4) some feminist heroine profile.

As opposed to some chauvanist loser’s profile? LOL

They seldom “profile” anyone during their news programs. The thing you guys don’t understand is that WNYC, WGBH, WBEZ, KQED, and other stations produce a lot of what you hear. Fresh Air, for example, is produced by WHYY. The show is distributed by NPR.

Their segments always take the leftwing position and have some down-and-out victim with a sob story.

The right wing position seldom has any validity unless you’re pro intolerance....

And always, always, always, Trump is to blame.

Not even remotely true. What is true is that the blob is easily the most unqualified person to be President in the last 80 years (at least) and that shows. For example when he pronouced Venezuelan air space to be closed...NPR covered it...they asked an expert who just chuckled and said that the President cannot do that. The facts are that the president cannot do that and the statement is bizarre from every standpoint. What are they supposed to do...not cover it?

They will also sprinkle in stories of the day. Today, it was the fired CDC director Susan Monrarez. (Trump is anti-science) and the firedFed governor Lisa Cook (Trump is a racist. Trump seeking retribution). The possibility of Cook actually committing a crime was never addressed.

Has she been arrested? Has she been charged with a crime?

Also thrown in was the DC takeover. (DC doesn't need it. Trump is Hitler).

I’m sure you can quote NPR calling him that. But of course you can’t. You’re substituting your lousy, lazy, and uninformed opinion in place of what they actually reported.

3) They have panels to discuss these issues. Always a journalist from the Atlantic, New York Times or Huffington Post; and someone from academia; a Harvard or Columbia professor Not one voice on the panel even close to conservative. And yet the CEO Katharine Maher claims 100% objectivity: "For decades, NPR clung to the fiction that it is committed to serving Americans across the political spectrum.” She said it with a straight face.

I tend to agree with you on this one. Of course the moment they have someone from the Razorback times or whatever the paper in Arkansas is who utters a syllable you don’t like, you’ll rever to your lousy, lazy, and uninformed mind to say that the person was not a “real” journalist. This is what you guys do.

4) It is clear NPR has not learned its lesson.

There is no “lesson” to learn. They’re supplying first rate journalism.

It is still outrageously leftwing. Nothing even close to objective. Same tired stories. Same tired format. Nothing to merit government funding ever again. Donation pitch "Please help us continue to present the programming people need." Nobody needs that Marxist claptrap.

Yet here you are trying to provide it.

If all you’re looking for is journalism you agree with...you should stop looking for journalism.

Then why are they sobbing about losing such a pittance?

Their member stations get a much higher % of their funding from the CPB.

 

[candycorn]

I dont care. I am over caring about the rural areas. They can suck it. I say, "let them burn". Links below.

Rural hospitals are closing.

Rural Schools are being defunded and here and here and here and here

Rural Farms are filing bankruptcy at alarmingly high numbers

That is what they voted for.
