I got really tired of the network devoting so much of its air time to promote its own shows and to beg for donations instead of advertising; and then pretending that this makes the network affiliates somehow more pure than other stations.<br /><br />I feel vindicated. The snakes have come out of their holes. I hope it loses all its government funding, including the public money that funnels money through universities to its member stations.ASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591247136037620408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-75766818916611564942010-10-21T16:39:40.216-04:002010-10-21T16:39:40.216-04:00This is the second time I’ve seen the liberal yo-y...This is the second time I’ve seen the liberal yo-yos take off on Juan Williams when he has “overstepped” his bounds and spoken a truth that was against the “party line”.<br /><br />I have said more than once in the past that a government run co-opted media is but one step towards the Soviet style dictatorship that we witnessed with the old USSR. This is beyond Big Brother. This is not only the squashing of Free Speech, but is in fact taking away one of our most sacred rights. And he wasn’t even on an NPR show!<br /><br />This Political Correctness, which is nothing more than a Gestapo style propaganda issue has to stop!<br />I for one do not agree with some of Mr. Williams stands. however, he has never been afraid to call it as he sees it and in this case he was correct! To be fired for relating the truth is beyond everything we hold sacred in this country.<br /><br />Kudos to Mr. Williams for daring to stand up to the kind of censorship that is so warmly welcome by leftist Soviet and NAZI style governments!joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-86729840107200918432010-10-21T12:28:54.309-04:002010-10-21T12:28:54.309-04:00I understand that FOX pays better.

Even one appearing occasionally will get a better paycheck from FOX than from NPR.<br /><br />So basic economics tells me that we just might see more deserters from NPR to FOX in the future.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.com
