Do sponsors who also advertise on Rush Limbaugh get a pass?

The NPR limousine liberals are saying they don’t need the federal dollars they are receiving. They might want to re-think that crap. LOL! I’ve got a feeling that a lot of these sponsors are going to be telling them “Adios” after their Juan Williams fiasco.

Fox contributed between $50,000 - $99,000 in 2008.

Somehow, I don’t think it will respond positively when it is next asked to renew.

State Farm Mutual Insurance Company is on the list.

I spend about $350 a month with them for homeowners and auto insurance. I guess I’ll be looking for a new insurer.

Over 1/3 of NPRs money comes from fees paid for by corporation for public broadcasting!

My thinking on Fox’s contribution is that it’s about keeping their foot in the door in case of fairness doctrine compliance boards who will be staffed by just these types of multi-cultural, PC, academics. It’s substantiating a legal argument. But that would be logical. In this world, who the heck knows...

Interestingly I have PBS on the TV at the moment.
It was just interrupted for a tornado warning.

When the warning went of the volume decreased about 75%
When it was over the volume returned to normal levels.

Our tax dollars at work /s

CPB the funding shell that gives Tax money to the stations, who then it to NPR...Gets 40% of it’s revenue from TAX Dollars. Over a Billion dollars in taxes. Some goes to TV and about 25% goes to the “radio system”.

You think Soros’ $1 MM is a big deal?

Who could forget this one?

For those who don’t know, Joan Kroc was the the widow of Ray Kroc, the mixmaster salesman who bought and expanded McDonalds into its present empire.

Someone should run a “politically correct” Survivor. In this week’s episode, radical Muslims beat out a black Hispanic male. Next week, radical Muslim takes on a disabled lesbian.

Not only should Congress defund NPR, but they should also take away its Nonprofit status. The only reason why these corporate sponsors are giving money to NPR is because its a tax write-off.
