I was just reading Time and in one of the articles - about Stewart's and Colbert's march - it said that NPR forbid their reporters from attending. I don't really care about NPR but I have to respect that. It would be easy for them to rationalize it as just a 'comedy thing' but they recognize it is a left leaning comedy thing and don't want to give the appearance of impropriety/bias by allowing their reporters to be involved. Like I say, I don't listen to NPR and don't have a problem with people calling for de-funding it but I do have to give respect to that.
So the fact that you quoted this shock jock as saying that NPR's federal support was $400 million in 2011 and in reality NPR's entire budge is only $157 million and the feds share is only 2% of that makes you believe that this guy you quoted is "brilliant"???? You've sort of glossed over yet another inconvenient fact but that hasn't slowed down your defense of the fiction you adhere to eh? If I did start listening to this guy, wouldn't I be as wrong as you are? We already have you if we need any misinformation.

I certainly don't and I think anyone who does is insincere. They should have fire his butt years ago. If they're going to hire people like this, cut off their funding. Goodbye NPR!
