Defund NPR

Why does NPR get a pass from the liberal media for not being "straight down the middle reporting"? Well, because the liberal media doesn't think they are liberal, so why would they think NPR is? Last week, liberal commentator Juan Williams was fired from NPR for giving a personal feeling that he feels uncomfortable at airports when he sees a muslim dressed in "muslim garb". Williams wasn't giving an opinion, he was portraying a personal feeling. Truth be told- who in our country wouldn't think this? I surely do!

Anyway, NPR fired him for expressing his opinion on Fox News, and that he's not allowed to do this. Even though often shows a liberal perspective, he was fired. It's more than obvious that he was fired for being a regular contributor to Fox News. If it were for offering an opinion, as the NPR CEO said, why do the other commentators get fired for offering theirs? Here's an example of two NPR employees who gave their opinion on things:

• Cokie Roberts saying that pro-lifers who are against partial birth abortion are basically nuts.
• Nina Totenburg saying former conservative senator Jesse Helms deserves aids for his beliefs, or at least his grandkids deserve aids. WOW!!!!
  

And these two correspondents still have jobs at NPR. And there's no evidence to show they were even repremended for these comments. Could it be because they were extreme liberal perspectives? I wonder!!

The fact is, Fox News dominates the ratings, and liberals don't like it. They don't like it because Fox shows BOTH sides to the argument. And the reason why liberals think it's a conservative network is because they aren't used to seeing a news outlet not being completely in the tank for liberal politicians or causes--- see Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, etc etc etc..

And good for Williams. He's now a multi-millionaire as a contributor for Fox. Take that NPR. And why again do our taxes go for funding an outlet like NPR? Don't we have enough options that are free, as in tax-free?
