Apparently, Nobody Loves FoxNews

And while denying that the White House had attempted to influence the NPR journalist, Anita Dunn, former White House Communications Director did state in an interview with NPR:

“We see Fox right now as the source and the outlet for Republican Party talking points.”

So take that denial for what it’s worth.

And NPR mouthpiece Dana Rehr chimed in:

“There’s no relationship between the White House’s criticism of Fox and any discussions about Fox that we’re having.”

Sure. And since NPR is funded partially by the government, you can imagine that they realize which side their bread is buttered on.

Nobody loves Fox? Color me surprised.

Who cares what they think, the DNC talking points are constantly being drummed in on the Alphabet stations which outnumber Fox. It isn’t enough that they control 90% they want it all? Like the old USSR joke, Only 2 Channels, Channel 1, the Gov’t Channel,and Channel 2, “Go watch Channel 1”.

I suppose it is too much to ask that NPR be aware of the irony of asking one of their people to not go on another network because of THAT network's bias.

Isn't the very act of pressuring someone to not go on, an indication that they themselves are quite biased and will not tolerate other points of view?

Nobody loves them but the MILLIONS who watch for real news reports...

I am one of the nobodies that likes Fox, I don't love it.

And if that gov't begins providing bailouts to the newspaper industry...

I just watch it for the pictures.

Bias: noun - Any thought or action contrary to, or not in precise harmony with Democrat Party talking points.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Nobody watches it anymore. It’s too crowded.

Blame the gutless GOP who controlled EVERYTHING for 6 years and failed to defund and kill NPR. Man, when I think of what the Republicans COULD HAVE DONE with its majorities, I just want to cry like Tim Tebow. And now look - - the scumbag rats are shamelessly, mercilessly full-speed ahead with their kill-America-now, communist agenda. Just wow.

[Stoutcat]

Lancey, I think that when Republicans had majorities in both houses, there were more serious things to think about than de-funding the CPB (as there still are currently). That said, even if we were able to de-fund it, it would not die, it’s too well funded by secondary sources, such as the Kroc foundation and you, the listeners...

Regardless, it’s still fun to point and laugh at the hypocrisy displayed by PBS.
