What are you talking about? FR is used to "fund" people's blogs I've had to go toe-to-toe with VIRULENT jerkoffs who have a thing for what they call "blog pimps".
Check out some of "humblergunner's" choice work. You'll usually find his "crew" with him when they're ganging up on FReepers they label as "blog pimps".

The “blog pimp police” are as irritating (or more) as the blog pimps. Worse than the spelling/grammar nazis. I’ve yet to see anyone forced to click a thread, much less its link.

“If NPR went of the air tomorrow, I wouldnt know about it unless I read it here on FR.”
Wouldn’t you miss “All Liberal Things Considered”? LOL.
To: EDINVA
I know. People will get on a thread they know they will hate just for the joy of abusing it. There’s so much to read on Free Republic ... if you hate blogs, don’t read it.
Some people just post long, looooong, replies to threads that are longer than most blogs.
Get over it, everyone.

As it should be. If the left wants their own forum to spew alternative views, let THEM fund it. To paraphrase Billy Joel, ...you can speak your mind/but not on my dime...

OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you speak from experience, my young Jedi....
How many blogs have you had zotted, and under how many different names??
If you have a severe case of unresolved butt hurt that has never been properly dealt with; so I urge you to fill out this form, be as complete and thorough as you can, and forward it to a nice person here at Free Republic who goes by the name of "Admin Moderator".
If you are convincing enough, I'm certain that Admin Moderator will discipline those naughty "blog police" you speak of, and maybe even include some of the "Pimpbusters" too. If you can be particularly convincing, maybe Admin Moderator will banish some of those old meanie-pants and show them all a thing or two, just for you.
Good Luck, be sure to print it out and use both sides if you need to...

Agreed. And if they don't, good riddance.
When “children are starving in the streets” it is ridiculous to be funding NPR, PBS, NEA....

I don't really get the bizarre mouth-foaming anti-blog faction here anyway. Excerpting and linking to poorly written blogs that exist only to pump up the author's ego are annoying. Linking to well written, informative blogs is providing a service.
I say Shout Bits is providing a service by posting his article this way. We can read the whole thing and visit and subscribe if we want to without being forced to hit the blog only to find out that it stinks.

Many public station that program classical music are not getting that programming from NPR.
Tons of classical music available on sat radio and the net.

A world without NPR? I don’t even know of it on a daily basis. I refuse to get my news from any biased source such as NPR.

Many public station that program classical music are not getting that programming from NPR So maybe I'll get my wish and the non-pop classic music portion will remain?
Tons of classical music available on sat radio and the net.
I usually listen when I'm driving - does satellite radio escape the stupidity of the FCC?

Please continue to post all of your fine comments in toto. If people tell you to excerpt, they're not doing you any favors. Jim Robinson has given specific delegation and instructions with regard to the handling of bloggers (we like 'em) and blog pimps (we don't).
Delegation
Rules
P.S. I have subscribed to your blog. It's nice to take off my Grammar Police and Pimpbuster hats and just read without distractions.

NPR will get by on their corporate contributions.
