They might try to, but I suspect it is too little, too late.

She bears a strange resemblance to Anastasia Tremaine:

I was thinking someone else.

You know, it’s not like it’s news that NPR hates conservatives and slants its coverage to favor liberals. I predict that this is just a symbolic resignation. She will be given a cushy job in some other liberal organization.

I think it's just an attempt to save the government funding as in: "look how we're changing"...

Cut every nickel from these America hating leftists.

Running a goat farm?

Must have fanticized about being a “dirt hippie” back in the day.

Revoke their licenses, seize their broadcast channels, and put them up for auction.

And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling conservatives!

I heard and interview of O’Keefe last night. He said he had other vids from his NPR investigation. Should get interesting.

A: I joke with friends that I would run an organic goat farm or open a fish taco stand on the beach in St. Barts.


yeah, right. Both of which require actual work.

PR -
Do you know of a web site on which I can learn the salaries of such NPR employees?

Also, a site where I can learn the actual amount of tax dollars sent to public broadcasting. I have seen figures ranging from 450 to 650 million. I’d love a factual amount.

Not long ago a family member of mine who has worked hard his entire life was told what the head of NPR made in the state of Maine. This family member makes peanuts for a wage, is ill but still refuses to stop working. Sadly, is also a life long lib and sends what he can to NPR.

When told of the amount the NPR head was paid and asked if his contribution might help pay this person...well, his face turned pretty red. Never sent in another dime. Still a lib but one very confused one at this point.

I'm gonna go hit O’Keefe’s tip jar. Everyone here should do the same.


Sure wish I could afford to but sadly I can not. I head O
Keefe on the radio last night and he is operating on a shoestring. The NPR investigation was paid for by him using his credit cards. From the sound of it his non-profit is broke.

I have not dug enough into NPR to know salaries.

Mining and extraction from the earth is very laborious, produces necessary petroleum and minerals and has been done since ancient times

Agreed. But they are non-renewable activities, unlike agriculture. We are "eating into our capital" or "mining" our resources. (Hey, that's why we call it "mining". :-)

Farmers can and do “mine the soil”, you can look it up>>>> http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=W5q&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22mining+the+soil%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

Your soil is a bank. Not all farming is renewable. It can be done so you eat into your capital. The historical record is full of civilizations that have done this and ......

Yes, I know...the current farming practices are destroying the potential of our future, especially in the Mississippi basin. But there are ways of replenishing agricultural conditions and output, without even considering mineral mining for fertilizer.
