NPR to shed 10% of staff amid budget shortfall

Schadenfreude is not enough for Freepers. They must maintain their virtuous self image by making outlandish claims about the target of their glee:

So they make up a bunch of crap about NPR, so they can enjoy hating it in it's troubles:

mojito is usually very nice, but NPR pushed him too far...
I hate to see people loose their jobs.

But in this case I might make an exception.
Starboard has his principles, otherwise he'd totally give the liberal propaganda machine a chance!
When Republicans cut all subsidies to NPR/PBS only then will I begin to take them seriously. Its a small matter in the overall scheme of things, but its very symbolic to me.

No more taxpayer money for the liberal propaganda machine!
Secret Agent Man knows NPR loves America's job losses:
Hey this is great, they ought to be celebrating the continuing destruction of capitalism.
Arrowhead1952 knows journalism is easy - it's propaganda that's hard!
Rush Limbaugh gets about 14 million listeners per week. I’m pretty sure his staff size is nowhere near 875.

You don't need a staff of almost 1,000 when you present facts. DUmmies need that many to cover up their lies.
1010RD on how much tax money NPR gets:
They get 50% of their funding from our tax money. They’d be out of business without it.
...I think it's maybe 10%, and most of that goes to funding rural stations.

Newbomb Turk hears gayness everywhere:
You can't listen to any program longer than an hour there without hearing something about gays.

Maybe the homo left needs to pony up some more chump change to back their mouthpiece.
wintertime finds News from Lake Wobegon mean-spirited:
Why? Keller isn’t funny. He make a living **mocking** the very Americans who make this country great.

  3. I blame Jim Robinson. I think the man's a control freak. I don't think he pushes the racism agenda like most Freepers but his lack of action has allowed it to get out of hand. The only thing he is focused on now is Cruz. I'm sure when there's another Repub. candidate stepping to the plate we will see another purge.
    Those idiots on facebook. Once again these people are so victimized in their own minds that they are just latching on to anything. I swear they are displaying the same behaviors that they accuse minorities of having.

    1. I really don't get it. He's got a decent following - and the news aggregation is excellent, as is the case with most crowd sourced sites - and makes a good living from it And yeah, I am not gonna complain about that. Wish I'd been smart enough to do the same! I mean - he's pulled in 3 million in the last 10 years, assuming his accounting is anywhere near honest. Not exactly small change.

      Yet he lets a few favored lunatics crap all over the place and turn what once was a reasonably serious and respected site into a haven for bigots and idiots.
