Snob Alert: NPR Star Keillor's 'Surprisingly Vicious' Trump Attack
NewsBusters ^ | September 5, 2016 | 8:26 AM EDT | Tim Graham

Longtime National Public Radio star Garrison Keillor just finished four decades on state-subsidized radio on A Prairie Home Companion. For almost that long, he’s been an easy example of a pretentious liberal snob, precisely the kind who seriously loathes a Donald Trump.

If NPR ever wanted to wonder why they haven’t been granted a Trump interview, it’s because he knows NPR is an elite liberal sandbox for people who congratulate themselves on their marvelous taste and mental acuity.

So when Keillor penned an acidulous character assassination of Trump for the Chicago Tribune, the liberals were very pleased. At Vox.com, they raved:

You need only take one look at the mess called Garrison Keillor to know he’s got a face made for radio, and a clear reason why he should steer clear from ad-hominem attacks on anyone. He’d be the easiest target in the world, but people on our side have standards that don’t extend to the level of his liberal cesspool.

One of the things I have admired about Trump is that he doesn’t seemed particularly concerned about such personal attacks as done here by such second rate radio personalities as Keillor.

The fact that NPR and PBS continue to be funded by a Republican controlled Congress is astonishing and troubling.

They only care about one thing, making money for their 0001% masters, if funding NPR is part of that trade off, that’s fine with them.

Good luck with that:

Keillor has always had a visceral hatred for all things republican. Keillor is what dumb people, who think they’re smart, assume is funny, even thought they think it’s stupid.
