Should give all of us a good idea what is going to be required next November, yes??
National Proletariat Radio
I thought the byline was
“NPR: The Stalinist Network”
Never
Praise
Republicans
These two shows would make it in the free market. However, most NPR supporters are too ignorant and arrogant to understand this.
I don’t mind NPR. In fact there are some programs on there I like from time to time. I just wonder why the left always feels that it has to force everyone else to pay for their listening pleasure. If NPR didn’t take federal money, it would not die. If nothing else, the best programs would be picked up elsewhere. I’m pretty sure the lefty news part would die.
Come the revolution, the entire National Endowment for the Arts appropriation, not just the NPR portion of it, must go. And I say that as one who very much enjoys performing with a major community arts organization.
One of the things I despise most about “All Things Considered” is the theme music. IMHO, it communicates both pompousness and superiority to the listener. Of course, in a way its perfectly suited to the program, as the same can be said about the tone of the commentary. One gets the feeling they are being lectured to by someone who considers themself a moral & intellectual superior. Thankfully, the only time I ever listen to it is when I’m driving long distance and there is just nothing else on.
You are totally ignoring the fact that we only one house while the rats have the senate and the White House. Come back if we have all three
Big, shocking surprise: NPR is riddled with liberal bias.
Come on man. If Logic and Reason are your handle, try using it some time.
The house could have passed another bill that would never have been addressed in the senate and certainly never signed by the one.
It would have just given the left one more reason to wail about the crazy pubby congress critters and accomplished nothing.
They didn't turn tail and run, and they had no opportunity to close this thing down, they aren't going to shut down the gummint over funding for npr.
WWDTM is kind of entertaining. Cah Tahk used to be sort of regular listening. I prefer Sam’s Garage. Darn WVOC has knocked it down to one hour for yet another senior care/financial/real estate program.
National People’s Radio, a channel of, for and by the elitists (snobs).
“Car talk is pretty entertaining too.”
If you like listening to three loudmouths all talking at the same time and using junior high humor it can be entertaining!
All of our family road trips include 15 minutes of All Things Considered. Our kids find it hysterically funny--from the effected way the hosts pronounce their name ("I'm MEEEEE-shell NORRRRR-is)to the pretentious goofball Russian immigrant posing as a literature professor. (I must admit that I DO NOT have the courage to try family listening when Terry Gross and "Fresh Air" is on . . .)
This is my philosophically fiscal litmus test for how serious Republicans are about actually reducing the size of government. In this day and age where sources of information are unlimited and delivery systems are omnipresent, there simply is no justification for the government to subsidize any form of media within our borders. The CPB is low hanging fruit for congressional budget hawks.
I don’t blame NPR for being a bunch of lefties. Fish Swim. That they are still being even partially funded by tax dollars after the takeover in ‘94 is liberals way of taunting those of us who keep demanding small government conservatism.
The U of Montana is so far left it is a local joke. A long time ago when I was hiring college geologists for summer help in the area I made it known that UofM students need not apply. In their forest management classes they had a professor who discussed best methods of spiking trees. I dispise the school.
Do these idiots not know that trees are replaceable? All you have to do is for every tree that is cut down plant 4 or 5 new ones. It does not take that long for trees to grow
Three??? Tom and Ray Magliozzi are the hosts, whose the third?
Didn’t know there was a 3rd but I haven’t listened to them in a couple of years. 1 hour of Sam’s Garage is worth 3 of theirs in terms usefulness.
