If there were no NPR, who would carry the excellent “Echoes” music program late at night?
NPR, the ultimate echo chamber. The very foundation of the “educational broadcast” system in the US is steeped in socialism – designed to chose winners and losers (like Ford via the Ford Foundation) and indoctrinate children in the collective ideology. Fortunately, with the exception of Rick Steves, This Old House and some imported British television, no one watches that crap anyway.
“Sharing is caring!” -Karl Marx, probably.
“Don’t be a litterbug!” -Mao Zedong, maybe.
“Play nice with your friends!” -Vladimir Lenin, most likely.
“One… Ah! Ah! Ah! Two… Ah! Ah! Ah!” -Friedrich Engels, I’m sure.
“Won’t you be my neighbor?” -Peter Kropotkin, gotta be.
Have you paid back your PPP loan Willie?
First In The South to apply for gubmint cheese.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has a board with a mixture of political backgrounds. The Chair and Vice Chair along with several members were appointed by Trump.
The nonprofit has been notoriously targeted by President Nixon. And now it appears to be targeted again.
I listen to NPR for hours on my ear protecting headphones as I drive my tractor. I enjoy the unbiased news and guest interviews. And of course the music.
I hope CPB can survive.
OMG, you people are so absurd about socialism in America. The US is the least socialist nation in the first world, and where has our socialist paranoia gotten us?
1. Are Americans the richest people per capita in the world? No.
2. Are Americans the happiest people in the world? No.
3. Are Americans the healthiest people in the world? No.
4. Do we live the longest? No
5. Are Americans the most educated people in the world? No.
6. Is wealth more widely disbursed among the people of the US than most other countries? No.
7. Do we have lower deficits than most other Countries? No.
8. I know, we are the best country in the world for Business, right? Again, No. According to Forbes, we are No. 17 and every country ahead of us is more socialistic than we are.
9. Are our politicians less corrupt than in more socialist countries? Hell, No.
So what are we trying to achieve? Do we have goals? I know the Republicans right now, love what is going on in Russia and Hungary. Strong man dictators are all the rage amongst the GOP A-listers. Is that what we want to be? I am at a total loss here.
