From calling Tea Party members “Tea Baggers,” to saying that "the evaporation of 4 million" Christians would leave the world a better place, to suggesting that God could give former Sen. Jesse Helms or his family AIDS from a blood transfusion, NPR's personalities have said some pretty un-PC things in the past. A look at the record reveals no shortage of intolerant statements and unbalanced segments on the publicly sponsored network's airwaves.
Here's an incomplete list of questionable and controversial content that has aired on NPR or has been uttered by its employees:
-- In June, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) said it was easy to see why some refer to NPR as "National Palestine Radio" following a June 2 segment hosted by Tom Ashbrook on the Gaza flotilla incident. The segment featured five guests -- none of whom defended Israel's actions.

We’ve needed the equivalent of an old time newspaper war for a long, long time.
Btt
NPR bigotry
NPR should be defunded and told to practice it’s liberal foolishness in the private sector like all those other failed media entities. Tell them it’s sink or swim time.
NPR’s Julianne Malveaux begged for Clarence Thomas’ wife to feed him a diet of eggs and butter, hopefully to speed his death from heart disease.
“Bump to the top” doesn’t work any more...

None of these are politically incorrect. Call muslims, “ragheads”, replace “Christians” with “Blacks”, or replace “Jesse Helms” with “Ted Kennedy”. Now you are politically incorrect.
Fox does not understand what they are dealing with in political correctness. Marxists expressing their blood lust for dead Christians on NPR is not politically incorrect at all. It is the central stragegy of every Marxist power to imprison and murder believers because communists/fascists can not tolerate God’s competition with the Left’s “scientific” and government gods.

When Schorr was with CBS, he deliberately leaked an advance copy of a House Intelligence report for which he was investigated by the FBI. Worse than that, he saw to it that the report was nationally printed and aired in exchange for a donation from a left-wing group to an organization that aids journalists in First Amendment issues.
Even worse than THAT he remained silent when fellow CBS reporterette, Lesley Stahl, was wrongfully accused of leaking the report.
Shorr was suspended by CBS and was allowed to "resign" soon after.
This traitor and coward was the sterling character later picked up by NPR as an honored, featured contributor to the "non-partisan" public radio station.
Now, for $200, Alex, what was Juan Williams fired for again.....????
