[Vision2020] No government support for NPR et al?

[Glenn Schwaller]

Just one Campbell?

After the NAACP accused the Tea Party of racism, NPR's political
editor Ken Rudin said that the organization was “responding to … an
ugly spectacle of members, African-American members of Congress, who
when they came out from voting on the health care reform several
months ago, they heard epithets from people outside, so-called Tea
Party protesters outside. Emanuel Cleaver, a black congressman from
Missouri, said he was spat upon. So they called – they passed this
resolution to, you know, to stop tolerating bigotry.”

Rudin didn't mention that multiple videos of the congressmen walking
through the protesters showed no evidence that any racist language or
physical assaults occurred. Conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbart
offered $10,000 to anyone who could produce footage of the alleged
spitting incident, and nobody was able to do so.

oh how about 2 . .

Last September, NPR reporter Terry Gross described town hall protests
against President Obama as “a right-wing movement that has been
interrupting town hall meetings, staging tea party protests, and
challenging Obama's citizenship,” implying that the entire movement
was based on wild suspicion over Obama's birthplace rather than
rational anger over economic issues.

And this doesn't even touch on the issue of $5 million dangled from a
"Muslim Brotherhood" organization, nor George Soros' $1 million
donation to NPR as evidence of the organization's political bias.

Nope, none there!
