NPR does their second story... |
|
... in just a few days about Obama and his Hollywood fundraising connection. This time with the help of a Dem fundraising "expert".
This is a transparent bid to link Obama with "Hollywood liberals", to make the point that if you don't like the "Hollywood liberals" you shouldn't like Obama.
Don't hold your breath waiting for an expose of where the big Republican money comes from, it's ok for the Defense industries to BUY continual war, ok for big pharma, oil and telecom to BUY regulatory relief, but god forbid a HOLLYWOOD LIBERAL have any say.
To hell with NPR, and please, stop financing propaganda by contributing to your local affiliate.

NPR has become an organ of the American Enterprise Institute.

Funny how their hollywood types are off limits to criticism, can run for office, can even become president (well not ahnold, but that other guy) but our hollywood supporters are poison.
NPR is right wing flatulence dressed up for the volvo crowd.

7. Sadly, I no longer give to any NPR or PBS affiliates. PERIOD! |
|
I saw no one stand up to this transformation. They all wanted to keep their jobs.
Peace

8. Larry Wildmon, Head Fascist at the American Family Assn, |
|
is also running a campaign trying to shut down what remains of public funding for PBS. Apparently he hasn't gotten the word. He just needs to send them a few mil & they'll have creationism stories all over the place.
But I guess Wildmon finds it more profitable to use PBS as a target to enhance his collections from the little old ladies.

... I'm talking specifically about NPR news.
PBS isn't what it used to be, but it hasn't gone totally propaganda yet. NPR has.

11. who was it that proposed |
|
that all government representatives wear their sponsors logo, so we would all know who was representing who? With the political landscape being what it is, no one can get anywhere without some very deep pockets footing the bill. It's kind of amusing when participants in the game are criticized for fulfilling the rule requirements...especially seeing how the game is rigged from the get-go.
