White House Censorship? NPR Trying to Keep its Reporter Off of Fox News
Politico/The Lid ^ | 12/7/09 | The Lid

Posted on 12/06/2009 9:57:09 PM PST by Shellybenoit

Mara Liasson is the national political correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR) and also regularly appears on Fox News Channel's Special Report and Fox News Sunday. It is incredible how far the Obama administration may have taken its "war" on Fox news.

According to Politico, NPR, which is partially funded by the US Government, tried to strong-arm Liasson off of Fox News.

“Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias...”

0bama's is the most paranoid adminstration since Nixon's and we know how that turned out.

I'm still saying that 0bama will leave office early.

Remember - it’s only censorship if Bush does it.

Before you know it they'll have SEIU and ACORN members patrolling the streets in front of Fox News to make sure they "control" the media to Chicago thug rules.

The way they're going, they're putting the old USSR sterotype to shame.

When you step back and think about it, it’s pretty scary that our government is trying to silence the only remaining news network that’s not “in the tank” for them.

Tell you what gang, not seeing Mara Liasson on Fox would not bother me in the least. Replace her sorry liberal a$$ with Michelle Malkin.

Dallas59 is 100% correct - it IS gestapo techniques and the compliant government run media refuses to step out of the march step demanded of them (or they've gone groupie and lost all objectivity AND credibility).

At a follow-up meeting last month, Liasson reported that she’d seen no significant change in Fox’s programming and planned to continue appearing on the network, the source said.

Good for Mara. I bet her eyes were opened by this "meeting".

You’re missing the point. Libs are trying to keep all liberals off Fox, so they can say, “Look, there are no liberals on Fox. It’s just a bunch of conservatives. It isn’t balanced.”

It’s important to have some liberal voices on Fox, even if they are annoying.

Why aren’t they asking for Juan to be removed as well? You gotta love this administration’s ‘transparency’.

NPR said that “Look, we’re right down the middle.”

Hitler said the same thing after he invaded Poland, Russia, Belgium and France. Right down the middle.

Also, David Naughton said this in the movie “Hot Dog, the Movie” to Rudy, the arrognant Austrian skier. “Rudy, you can kiss me, not on the left cheek, and not on the right cheek, but “right down the middle” (of my ass).

Puker up NPR.

What’s really scary to me is that the government didn’t even have to say boo to the other networks—which is why they think they can silence Fox.

Right On. Then maybe I might watch that worthless show. Her & that other black dope are so ignorant & lib kool-aid drinkers that I refuse to watch it. (I'm assuming they both still are on)
