The liberals socialists commies that run NPR (into the ground) are totally clueless and think everyone is as stupid as them and the imbeciles who listen to their horrendous programming.

“The proposal to prohibit public radio stations from using Corporation for Public Broadcasting grants to purchase NPR programming interjects federal authority into local station program decision-making. “This legislation would ultimately dictate the daily editorial schedules and news programs of nearly one thousand public radio stations across America.”

Huh??? It doesn’t interject anything because without the federal (taxpayer) funding they’re free to broadcast whatever crappy programs they want without any type of federal oversight. These people are morons.

They claim that only two percent of their annual budget comes from the taxpayers, even though the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees NPR, says it received $420 million, of which about $90 million went to NPR.

Right after the Juan Williams firing late last year, after Williams said he gets nervous if he’s on a plane and he sees a muslim onboard, NPR president Vivian Schiller attempted to go into damage-control mode, but failed miserably, saying that “NPR receives less than 2 percent annually, on average, from government grants, of their annual budget of $166 million.”

Yeah right. You how you can tell when a lib is lying? Their lips are moving.

CPB/NPR also receives taxpayer money from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Departments of Education and Commerce, not to mention the private donations it receives from various lefty foundations and private citizens from its almost daily beg-fests, where for only a $200 donation you get a $2 CD.

But let’s suppose only 2% of their annual budget is taxpayer funded, that’s $3.32 million. What happened to the other, oh, about $86.68 million of our money?

It turns out that these taxpayer-supplied funds are used in what is nothing more than an elaborate shell game. Some of the money goes to NPR to pay for their programming, and some of it goes to local NPR stations, which then have to buy their programming from NPR, so most of the money ends up in the coffers where it started, at CPB/NPR.

Since they claim only get two percent of their budget from us, I’m sure they could find alternative sources for those funds. I’m certain there are a lot of democrats socialists who are millionaires and billionaires that could fund them. George Soros already donates millions to NPR. Let him cover their tab if he thinks the pollution that is NPR’s programming is so vitally important.

The one thing that pisses me off about the bill being written by Republicans is that it would only cut off funding for NPR, not the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

In these days of satellite and cable TV offering hundreds of stations, not to mention satellite and terrestrial Radio with thousands of stations, and of course the internet, there’s no reason whatsoever our money should be used for airing their far left-wing agenda on radio or TV, especially considering the trillions of dollars of debt the libs and some RINOS have racked up in the last few years.

Yeah, I’m a mean SOB, but I say cancel Big Bird and Barney if we have to pay for them! Maybe at the swamp they can put a recipe for Barney burgers in the LFG cookbook.
