We, too, are often Garrison fans for the music, but we are also getting sick of NPR politics. It seems so much worse after 11/2, probably because they are just so bitter and clueless. But I do like the range of NPR's non-political stories.
Why can't we have a conservative news show like NPR? I like talk shows, but news is good too (especially when one is commuting).
I would either like to see such liberal funding cut or support funding for a conservative show. (Then, again, the tax-cut side of me needs no new funding.) NPR just had a huge windfall from some rich person's will...millions...they shouldn't need government funding.
Do you thing private donors would support a conservative news program? Rush did it for talk shows; who will do it for conservative news shows?
I listened to the first 45 minutes of the show..it's their "Fall Clearance Joke Show". basically, a second joke show after the one they have in April.
Anyway..after the opening theme, Garrison says "The elections over, but it's okay..we're over it, I'm over it (audience tittering). I'm now devoting my time and energy to a new organization...one that supports a Constitutional amendment to keep born-again Christians from voting."
The audience roared.
This is supposed to be funny?
I've listened to Keillor on and off for 25 years. This was the last straw. As far as I'm concerned, that dumocrat fake-Lutheran, anti-American over-verbose buffoon can take his stupid show and show it straight up his Wobegon.
(Sorry, but I'm really angry...)
