    I listen to NPR every single day for hours at a time. I often get angry with them, but I prefer the constant news feed over the talking heads of talk radio. Plus I'd rather have to deal with changing the station for a week during pledge drives than the terrible commercials on AM talk radio.

    I don't think anyone can deny that the NPR has become the spokesperson for the liberal left.

    However....

    This video only shows ones side of the conversation and focuses in on badmouthing of republicans. In order to be genuinely fair and unbiased we should have access to the entire interview.

    It's very easy to prove a point by using half truths (see Michael Moore).To see the real truth we need to see unedited footage of the conversation that took place.

    Both people in that video resigned, one of them before the video even hit the public. It was the very first thing I heard on NPR today when my alarm clock went off.

    Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is more obvious in its leftist politics ... but I find it much more enjoyable (same with Car Talk).

    But frankly all these shows on NPR and PBS that people actually like will draw sponsor dollars and keep these media outlets afloat so they don't really NEED to steal money from me to fund the ones I don't like.

    This isn't over yet. There is more video held in reserve by O'Keefe. Americans have goldfish attention spans when it comes to politics. NPR wants to assume this will go away if they fire a few figureheads and bring them back on lucrative contracts in 6 months.. It's not going to go away.

    Let them try to spin this as one man, just a fund raiser. It's not.

    Here is an article: I guess the guy that resigned yesterday, was already leaving for a job, back in his home town in Colorado.

    Is he the Prairie Home Companion guy? I can see what you mean, but I always kind of assumed that he came from a kind of rural background, since he is always talking about Lake Wobegone, MI. I assume that is a made up place.

    A few weeks ago, he did one of his Guy Noir skits that slammed all of NPR, Al Gore, the Left, and the Environmentalist movement. It was totally awesome and I tried to find it to post on here, but had no luck.

    He's rural (and liberal) just like Ben & Jerry.

    I'm sorry, but this piece of trash needs taken to the dump. Like alot of Libtard bastards that have the means to push their Liberal, Muslim Loving, Pot smoking, Gun hating retard agenda. So, I feel he should be scared after his comments.
