Why are tax payers forced to pay for something the neither like nor want. National Public Radio is a highly liberal biased radio station that is broadcast in all fifty states and frankly no one really likes their programming. Even my liberal friends don't like NPR because their cynicism and blatant hate for everyone that doesn't agree with them is disgusting. NPR has two shows that pretty much support their entire station; Prairie Home Companion and Car Talk. These are how they generate most of their donations during their what seems like weekly fund raisers.
The shows that really disgust me are "This American Life" and "The Diane Reems Show," they both pretty much contain the same Bush bashing, war hating bullshit. But "This American Life" goes farther, it goes to find the ONE soldier that wishes to return his medals earned in Iraq. The host tries to make it sound like he wants to return them because he is against the war but really the soldier tries to make it clear he wants to return them because he feels that he doesn't deserve them. But through editing and crappy sound clips they manage to hide that from the normally brainwashed audience.
Now you are probably asking if I hate it so much why am I listening. I usually turn it on right before I go to bed because they have the BBC on at night (which isn't much better but BBC at night is just news reports no opinion crap.) But if it is still on in the morning and something catches my ear that I just have to hear I'll leave it on to see how it is spun into a pile of extremist liberal shit.
From most of my research the only reason NPR keeps some of its funding is becuase democrats complain that we are trying to take a publicly controlled free source of news. My question is to you: How many of you watch PBS or listen to NPR and is it really worth tax payers money?
