[Vision2020] No government support for NPR et al?

[Joe Campbell]

No Roger, Glenn did not answer the question. Glenn made several fallacious
points, some of which were pointed out and all of which are ignored below.
And do you also support slavery, another view that "Glenn" supports?

Why bother pretending to engage in discussions about these issues if you
IGNORE criticisms of points made? Here is another refutation of one of your
points. Please respond.

You write that NPR is "[s]lightly left of center" [even though you admit to
listening to it only "occasionally" and do not provide ONE example
supporting this claim]. If this is a reason to not fund NPR via taxpayer
money, then the following would also be a good argument: The military is
slightly right of center, so it should not receive any public funding.

So which is it: should we end public support for the military or should we
recognize that your argument is a bad one?
