Mideast strife hits WBUR (and NPR) - Citing anti-Israel bias, 2 firms pull funding

Q: What was the Haganah?

A: A successful guerilla organization.

[Sparticle]

One can idolize the Haganah just as one might the American Colonial Revolutionaries, but it is hard to find a former revolutionary that sees a clear path to peace that doesn't simply involve obliteration of the enemy.

The headline I would really like to see:

Strife hits NPR - Citing anti-US bias, all firms pull funding

[Sparticle]

Ariel Sharon is no George Washington

[veronica]

Romeo & Juliet?

That's YOUR opinion.

[wimpycat]

That which isn't owned outright must be threatend by sponsorship backing and negative PR. That's the tactic used on all our media. Free Press, HA!

Freedom of speech is guaranteed, but nobody promised you a bigger megaphone than the other guy. Sponsors have every right to not let their money be spent on things that they don't agree with. That's a free speech issue as well. It may be a little high-handed and reactionary on their part, but I can't argue with their right to do it.

From The American Spectator/via Jewish World Review - Ariel Sharon - The Israeli Harry Truman

[Sparticle]

I don't think so.

BTW, Is that Jeb Bush?

[Sparticle]

He might have resolved it

[veronica]

Why don't you quit junking up the thread with goofball pix that slow it up?

[Cachelot]

and we pay for it with tax money and/or ill thought out donations.

Yep. And the bozos whining over every cent of their tax dollars actually going towards Americas allies are silent when their dollars are used for nazi propaganda. Very telling.

Let's hope every bigot venture is boycotted into oblivion.
