NPR's Liasson & Williams Back Gore on Right-Wing Media Control [B.S. is knee deep]

How would you like to see Krauthammer do an interview with Gore? What a great thread that would be. #;^)

``we are outright proud to be conservative and here’s what we stand for and we don’t think there’s any need to make an apology.”

So Juan Williams thinks one has to apologize for being conservative?

Defund this network and its evil cousin, PBS.

[Congressman Billybob]

Every time I go on a long road trip, as I did over Thanksgiving, I listen to large chunks of National People's Radio. I refer to it as "Opposition Research," or just knowing what the enemy is doing.

For NPR shills to discuss media bias is like a couple of fish discussing water. They are up to their ears in it, but they have no perspective to understand what it is, and how it is different from air, for instance.

If I ever become a Member of Congress for real, one of my first acts will be to challenge all comers, specifically Barney Frank, to a live debate on the floor -- during Special Orders when the official day is over. It will be an Oxford-style debate, on the subject, "Resolved, that NPR news is too biased to deserve a cent of taxpayer subsidy." It will be done by random choice among the transcripts of "All Things Considered" for the previous 30 days. The debaters will have half an hour to prepare their remarks based on the selected day's transcript, and then will go at it with hammer and tongs.

I hope that comes to pass.

With all of the lefty outlets available to the socialists, I think it is high time to defund NPR, PBS, the Legal Services Corporation and all of the other troughs that these swine feed from.

"This is all a good sign. If no one was paying a bit of attention to Rush, The Washington Times, or FNC, they could care less. They are running scared. It galls them that the PEOPLE, the Great Unwashed, finally have a source of information beyond their control. It is why they hate the Internet so much."

Amen. The fact that they're even debating this is a stunning sea change.

"It is why they hate the Internet so much".

Algore invented the internet, though, remember? <\sarcasm>

[Howlin]

I would pay GOOD money to see that. Heck, I'd drive somewhere to see it live.

[maxwellp]

Prior to FoxNews and Free Republic what did conservatives have to watch or read? Rush was always there and I always listened to him. Aside from these three, who else was there, being really promiment? Even my weekly local newspaper is liberal. So what are the Dems/Liberals talking about?

[Balata]

I could see it now. Gore lying back on the psychiatrist's couch with Krauthammer conducting the interview for about 3 hours. Then Krauthammer hands Gore a bill for his professional services, which pushes gore over the edge never to return. I had better stop there. LOL!

[Jorge]

How can Liasson and Williams be allowed to defend Gore on FOX, if FOX is really part of this conservative media conspiracy against him and other liberals?
This doesn't make any sense.

[skeeter]

Incoherent is about right. Sounds like Gore responded to the question with a lecture on art appreciation. (Personally I think he's nuts)

[Savage Beast]

LOL!

[friendly]

Why do I torture at work to earn tax dollars (as do You, my friend) to pay for flaming propaganda from people who are my sworn enemies?

Yo, Republicans! Your recent victory will most certainly be short lived if you do not once and for all de-fund the left wing-nuts at NPR.

[VRW Conspirator]

Actually, I don't think the liberal advantage is as great as it appears because of the quality and content of the respective audiences...

I heard a Russian born immigrant say that the American media is worse than the Pravda and more effective. He said it was because Russians knew that the Pravda was full of lies. Whereas the NYT and the like do not tell the readers, knowing and unknowing alike, that they are biased. They pretend to be main stream. Thus, the average reader does not question the headlines and articles.

[Freakazoid]

Plus: “Something will start at the Republican National Committee, inside the building, and it will explode the next day on the right-wing talk show network and on Fox News and in the newspapers which play this game, the Washington Times and others.”

Wow! Talk about projection. This is exactly what happens in liberaldom and it's been happening for decades.

[Republic of Texas]

One thing I've learned about the left. If they accuse you of something, anything, no matter how horrendous, it's because they've been doing it for years.

[MWS]

They still think the problem is that the Democrats didn't get their message out.

The problem, of course, is that the Democrats did get their message out--loud and clear.

Not only that, but what REALLY annoys them is that it is these "conservative" sources that ultimately got out their real message. Every little kooky thing these socialists say has been put out for millions to hear. They absolutely hate it. They want conservative sources shut down so that they can continue to spread their extreme message to their constituencies while having it whitewashed for the rest of Americans on the nightly news. They absolutely abhor the light of public scrutiny, and that is what is causing their downfall.

[Savage Beast]

I know it. To paraphrase Jane Fonda: Bad things don't grow in the light.
