NPR’s decision to fire Juan Williams over comments he made about Muslims on Fox News has prompted calls on the right for Congress to remove its funding and concern on the left that NPR may have just handed its critics a powerful weapon for painting the broadcaster as liberal.

The biggest names in conservative politics — including Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, both paid Fox News contributors like Williams — rushed to his defense after he said he gets “nervous” when he sees people in Muslim dress boarding an airplane.

National Politburo Radio
Non-representative Propaganda Radio
Normalized Propaganda Radio
Nonessential Partisan Radio

Oh but I like The Invisble Hand’s ‘Nancy Pelosi Radio’ best...oh and I liked ‘National Partisan Radio’ enough to borrow most of it.
Carpe Cerevisi - you seem like you have what it takes to give us a good Latin acronym here...

I sometimes listen to NPR while driving home in the evening to get a glimpse of what the enemy is saying.

The stuff I hear on the various programs on NPR just leaves me shaking my head and sometimes yelling at the radio.

Liberal, socialist, enviro-greenie weenie, progressives are truly sick, messed up people.

The war should be primarily on CAIR, secondarily on NPR.

It is time for CAIR to be exposed. NPR is not the only taxpayer-funded governmental agency virtually controlled by CAIR at this point.

This article at Fox News spells out the amount of money the Corporation for Public Broadcasting gets from federal taxpayers:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the parent company of PBS and NPR, received $420 million in taxpayer funds in 2010 and has requested $608 million for the next funding cycle that begins in 2013.

The left declared war on Juan.

It had nothing to do with the Right...
