Hey, this might sound stupid, but in the OP there was a refrence to Swan Lake being played over the official radio stations when the USSR collapsed... I've heard that anecdotally, but anyone have any evidence/linkage to prove that? Just an interesting tidbit I wanted to confirm/deny.

If your on topic, why don't I see one word about NPR in your reply? You want to hijack the thread to talk about ALL goverment funding?? Then go start your own thread. If you have an opinion on the funding of NPR, then please express it.

:roll: If you really think I was talking about ALL gov't funding instead of all gov't funding of the press then you have reading comprehension issues and/or need to follow along. I quoted arsbanned whining about gov't control of the press. I asked if all the funding should be stopped.
Now try keeping up...

You said:
Hmm.. that looks to me like your were refering to all gov't funding that has anything to do with "control". In my interpretation, that would apply to everything from NPR to highway programs to farm subsidies, and then some. What am I supposed to do, read your mind? I'll have to take my tinfoil off to do that, and you can bet that isn't going to happen!!!!!!!!

Instead of partisan bickering, please listen to the Bill Moyers speech I linked above. At the time of the founding of public television-when the "vast wasteland" description of commercial broadcasting was a new, hot issue, Moyer worked for the LBJ administration and sat in on the meetings to form public broadcasting. That perspective, coupled with his many years of legit news reporting, is a very insightful view.

I know that you think we know what you meant, but I'm not too sure that what you said was interpreted as what you meant by anyone other then yourself.
To simplify it for you, just because you know what you meant doesn't mean that anyone else does. It wouldn't be the first time you drifted off to right field.
what do you expect Commander Cuckoo Bananas has made it clear that speaking against him is un-American
NPR has the most informed and most unpolitically motivated news in the country. Figures that a bunch of anal tyrannical wannabe dictators would try to silence one of the few remaining good news sources around.
If that's what they want, FSCK the GOP! :|

No, I pay taxes and I approve of my dollars supporting an excellent unbiased new source. Far more than I approve of it being used to blow up innocent people and to start wars based on lies.
Ohoh, we have an intelligent question from a person who is being genuine. Careful, the place may go haywire.
A quick Google turns up nothing definitive, but there are some blogs you could check out.
http://www.wamu.org is where i get my diane rhems in the mornings.
the do have some awesome music on the wnye npr station i get where i am. jazz in the mornings, mostly and weekend nights they tend to have a small sort of local band come on and put on their own recordings and take through them.
very interesting.
NPR is my favorite radio station and one of my favorite news sources; it's unbiased, intelligent, well-informed, and tolerant of all opinions. It saddens and shocks me to see such threats made by the GOP.
They've already tried to silence the NPR. They didn't get it done so I think they are trying to get their foot in the back door.
I hope they break NPR. With all the media outlets in the country today, there is no need for a taxpayer funded one. And if there is one, it should make some attempt to represent the variety of opinions present in America, and not just be a foaming at the mouth liberal mouthpiece.
I hope they fall down and break their crown. You scared of another opinion that differs from yours??
