   The rest of that money must have gone to the “non-partisan civility” movement.

   Betcha Sarah Palin or other conservatives have not seen one dime.

   Why is it that no one can “prove” that NPR has a left bias? All they have to do is deny it and the meme is its not true. Meanwhile, it is true. Even when an undercover sting shows it, there isn’t a general public consensus that its true.

   However, Fox news is routinely dissed as right wing and that theme seems to take root.

   There are 2 sides to every story. Why can’t they present both sides. What are they afraid of? Our media has truly failed us.

   It’s possible that any secretly right-leaning heretics in their midst are being rooted out as we speak and may well be on their way to a mandatory summer of reeducation at Camp Totenberg or else face the Board expulsion committee

   My thought exactly – these people likely got into NPR only by hiding their conservative views. Just ask Juan Williams.

   Q: Why are the NPR stations always on the left end of the dial?

   If I ever, ever see a NPR station at 107.9 Mhz, I’ll by a pink volvo and drive across Texas in a tu-tu.

   The 11% was split between Lindsey “Lohan” Graham, Bernie “3rd World Vermont” Sanders and John “I lost to a community organizer” McCain. Or maybe it was sent out of the country to support the Hugo Chavez dictator campaign.

    Somehow it doesn’t stike me that any NPR board member would willingly, and knowingly contribute to a true conservative. And likely the 11% includes the political spectrum of other parties not Dem as well.

    The MSM has become the cheerleader for big government willingly. They didn’t even have to be threatened or bribed.

    Over 90% of the invisible check and balance in this country is lost.

    Just look at Wisconsin. You’ve got over half the state thinking that what Walker did was a bad idea.

    Talk about losing the information.

    PS—To those of you from WI who support Big Labor, it’s really too bad that Doyle wasn’t in office for another year. Then, you could have had the awful…errr…I mean wonderful and self-giving experience of having your taxes raised significantly.

    Want to know what your friendly neighbor Mark Dayton of MN proposed? A whopping 13% state income tax and a fifth income bracket. That would have made MN the highest taxed in the nation by over 2%.

    So let me ask you this—Why would ANYONE want to set up a business in a snowy state with bitter winters and lose thousands if not millions of dollars in revenue to taxes when they could it do for LESS MONEY in Texas, Florida….or even Hawaii or California.

    Or they could set up business in a cold snowy state with no income tax and an average sales tax of 5% like say, Wyoming.

    +1!

    It would be very interesting to see the list of RINOs that received political donations from NPR board members. I’d be willing to bet that people like Dick Lugar are on that list.

    I live in Minnesota and I agree. Mark Dayton is a radical far-left regressive! When he won the election, I seriously thought about finally moving to a more conservative state and leaving this God-forsaken blue one. Don’t get me wrong. I love the seasons. That would never be a reason for me to leave. But the regressives might just tip the scale. Fortunately, we have a majority republican legislature, so they can keep him in check. We had a very bad GOP candidate, and he did almost win. But we need to do much better!!

    By the way, Stacey, it is fine to avoid political stuff. But if they bring it up first, you certainly have the right of rebuttal. Your opinion is just as important and valid as theirs, so don’t let them intimidate you. Just give the reasons why NPR shouldn’t get our tax dollars. If you need help, just come to MM’s blog and someone will give you advice.

    Thats the biggest problem with liberals today. They want to get in y9ur face and fight. Thats why they attacked the Tea Party movement with maximum ferocity. Calling them racists and other ugly names in order to get their way.

    Well, they now find themselves in a fight. People are not just going to sit by and be attacked like that. The fight is on. They started it but we will finish it.
