What an obnoxious cabal of sneering lefties . Except for Pat and Willie .

NPR . Now Schiller Free since March , 2011 .

What a pile of poop that crew is. If 2 Fox big-wigs resigned in the wake of some gotcha video, they’d be freakin’ dancing in the halls and popping the champaign.

‘Morning Joe Panel ‘Cringing’ Over Excess Coverage Of NPR ‘Half Minute News Story’’

prime example why i dont pay attention to that show

Fair enough, but those liberal hypocrites were loving talking about the Walker story and did no such sniffing then.

Morning Joe has turned into just another mindlessly partisan MSNBC entry. Too bad. It used to be a great show.

The story of black separatist groups made MSNBC cringe so much, they wouldn’t even read it.

The only people that care about this story are the same people who think Sarah Palin is a viable Presidental candidate, there are more important issue to be talking about in this country.

Eric Cantor needs to take his job a lot more seriously, where are the jobs Mr. Cantor? Hope you manage to find some while you are trying to defund big bird.

We need to get secret mics in union offices, school super’s offices, CBS offices, NBC offices, ABC offices and Tommy Christopher’s office. On second thought don’t need one in Tommy’s office, he says all his biased stuff right here in front of everyone.

Is there one person out there that thinks it was Vivian Shiller that caused NPR to have a liberal bias? Or course not! Then why does NPR think that getting rid of her is going to fix this problem? “Out of touch” doesn’t seem strong enough here.

Cue the comments about how no one is watching liberal MSNBC. And how NPR is liberal anyway.

Comments to be made by people who are (at best) underachievers in life. I mean who teh hell is posting on this site in the middle of the day (and to save you time: I am included).

And then those comments will be read by upards of 70-80 people.

And repeat story.

Secret mic in Gordon’s office would only pick up the quiet weeping of a man who realizes that his only contact with the outside world is posting here. Plus, I would imagine, a fair amount of passing gas.

MSNBC discussing a network, other than Fox News, unbelievable.

I like NPR also, particularly its science reporting. But there is no doubt that the views expressed by the likes of Schillers 1 and 2 reflects the prevailing view at the organization–as well as that of Carl Bernstein, the over-bloated Art Garfunkle of investigative journalism.

Hey fool, so you liked those polls that said Gov. Walker was unpopular. LOL here is one you will like.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Wednesday the proportion of people who believe the United States is on the wrong track rose seven points to 64 percent from February, in a fresh challenge to President Barack Obama.
It was the highest number of people in an Ipsos poll who think the country on the wrong track since Obama took office in January 2009. The survey comes as many indicators show an improving U.S. economy.

His approval is now 45% and disapproval at 48% according to Gallup today. Poor Obama.

It’s awesome watching the New York media elite talk about how harmless NPR is because they play country music for those red state folk. Jesus Christ – can you embody the condenscending liberal stereotype anymore? BTW, I have never heard NPR play country music and I am in Texas.

Sorry Black and Gold Brad, I hit the wrong quote guy. The above was for Color Me Bad.

In a saner world, any story about NPR would be more important than any story about Sara Palin.

“Then why does NPR think that getting rid of her is going to fix this problem?”

Liberals are big on symbolism, someone must get thrown under the bus so the media can have someone to blame.

I am a real campaign advisor. Polls at this time mean nothing. I just post them for you fools that site them for Walker and the republican candidates. All you fools that think Obama is unbeatable and all the republican candidates have no chance.
The truth is at this time next year Obama won’t be leading Charlie Sheen.

And NPR doesn’t really play the kind of country music your average “red state folk” listen to. Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett are about as close as they get.

When you tell everyone here your real name and PROVE it.

Carl Berstein is a liberal hack that Mika caters to. Absent Joe to keep the conversation in a welcome ‘centrist’ position, Barnicle caves to the Mika’s leftist views. He is good at sounding authoratative but is fairly non-commital and will not make much of an argument in either direction, left or right.

Just have a curious question for Mediaite commentators- How many of ya’ll are commentating from Texas- especially Austin. It just seems like an inordinate amount of people here are from Austin and Texas.

I’m live in the Crestview neighborhood in Austin BTW.

So when 1 Tea Party (not Fed funded BTW) person does something this stupid it’s a 30 second story??? Oh I see Mika… that’s “different”.

Just last night I played Gilmore’s version of “I Was the One” for my stepdaughter. She couldn’t believe that was the same guy who “stepped over the line!” from The Big Lebowski. I’ve lived in Austin for four years now and have yet to attend that damned thing.

You must be very dumb. I have posted many links to my appearances on televison and radio. Links to newspapers stories about me and various awards. My info is all over the internet and the people here know all about it. Since I use my REAL name it is not hard to find.
I don’t CLAIM anything. When I say it is TRUE.

Been listening to NPR all over the USA since the 70s and never heard country music once that wasnt just bumper music.

Heard plenty of sympathetic stories on terrorists, islamists, socialists, unions, gays etc and plenty of condemnation of just about anything christian and/or conservative (with the required disjointed music played afterward, so obvious), guess I havent been listening long enough.

So you couldn’t save me some time and maybe list anyone whose campaign you’ve worked on? As you so adroitly pointed out, there are cars backed up in my Drive-Thru. I do not want to make the Bloyer family upset that their take-out is being delayed. So, take a minute and help a brother out.

Let me just point out the “shoulder stomping” incident with the Tea Party. That alone was enough to paint the ENTIRE Tea Party as “stompmers”. But this “executive” of NPR is isolated and separate from NPR as a whole and in no way should NPR be held accountable for what 1 executive says??? BTW… THIS is why we believe the MSM is liberal guys… because of it’s BIAS.

For anyone interested, GordonBlowingSmokeUpHisOwnAzz has a youtube channel. It’s hilarious. The man is an obvious dolt. Case closed.

Perhaps the best line from the bio on Gordon’s site (and a description of his role here):

“He is still a friend to the people that have no friends…”

Sometimes these things just write themselves.

I actually went to that PAAAAAATHETIC Gordon BLOWyer website

“Hey hi this is gordon blower you’ve reached my website the gordon blowyer show….”

LMFAO!

And then he shows people how to “use” his hideous website! LOL!
How old are his visitors…90? Who the hell needs to “learn” how to click on links?

BWHAHAHAHAHAH! WHAT A JOKE!

“Morning Joe Panel ‘Cringing’ Over Excess Coverage Of NPR ‘Half Minute News Story”

Cringing???…”Squirming” is a much better description.

The left gets caught again and again and again. It is so hard for these lefties to stay on message when there cohorts are constantly getting caught doing the very things they accuse we conservatives of doing and don’t.

Gordon is great comic relief.

Read my lips, when you give out your real name, otherwise look it up yourself.

What Barnicle meant to say (but clearly didn’t) was that the topic is tedious TO HIM and OTHER LEFTISTS. The sub-story is that leftists have lost control of the news cycle and what gets talked about. THAT is what has them fuming.

Mika is the worst kind of combination: a leftist and a snob. Which is why she can’t bear to talk about the NPR video – it catches someone just like her in the embarrassing act of giving his true opinion about the unwashed rabble.

Country music sucks. I don’t want to subsidize that garbage anymore than I want to subsidize left-wing snobbery. When NPR plays Children of Bodom, maybe we’ll talk.

Don’t hate on country music. :) I just want it defunded period.

I mean, I’m pretty libertarian but not a super doctrinaire one, so when statists argue about the need for public roads and whatnot, I can see their point. But when you’re arguing that you need to forcibly take money from people to pay for puppets and country music, what exactly is the argument against me sticking you up to pay for my beer and porn?

Also, I am almost positive there is something in Jefferson’s letters about what an intolerable tyranny it is to force a man to pay for Garrison Keillor.

Hey Gordon–

Being serious here. I wake up every day sure of one thing: I really don’t know everything.

What is it like to wake up every day so sure that you do? More importantly, what is is like to be convinced that whatever percentage (let’s say 30%) of your fellow citizens are your enemies just because they have different political views from you? It really boggles my mind.

And if you wonder why I keep running at you? It is because you are a sad bully and I always believed in calling those type of people out. And your dreadfulness has nothing to do with your politics. There are plenty of sad people like you on the left.

Pitifulness knows no party.

No say something about my fake name and then head back to your webcam.

Probably sucks almost as much as having a President who is convinced that whatever percentage of his fellow citizens oppose illegal immigration (and every poll I’ve ever seen indicates that it is an overwhelming majority) are the enemies of Latinos. Which sucks a LOT.

I’m assuming I was downvoted only by Tea Party Patriots that pathetically hire illegal immigrants, while millions of Americans are jobless and suckling off welfare and the immigrants don’t have to pay taxes.

If you were REALLY mad you’d go after those people because liberals aren’t the worst offenders about immigration, Republicans are.

Gordon is the funniest poster on Mediaite, he is a big deal did you know that, he made a career out of being an old crank that calls into radio shows. Way to go Gordon!

NPR is not a news story, just like GITMO is not a news story now that Obama has embraced all of W’s policies regarding GITMO.

Still no a single headline here on Barak’s exord on GITMO. Too damn funny – Bush was a war criminal for his GITMO policies, but Obama is immune.

Just more double standards from the super biased liberal elite idiotic media.

E-gads.

Popular, contemporary country could be advertiser supported in most markets and it’s the stuff from off the beaten path and the back of the album that the NPR affiliates highlight.

With that said, I revealed in a way back Mediaite thread that I listen to the webstream of Louisville’s WFPK quite a bit and I consider “Woody’s Roadhouse” (midnight to 6AM Central) which plays a lot of fifty to a hundred year old blues, country and other styles of roots music one of the best shows on the the radio.

When I lived in New Mexico, I’d listen to a show called “Folk Routes” that describes itself as featuring “The best in folk, blues, bluegrass, and beyond” every Saturday morning. I’d also listen to other shows with a country flavor and a quick glance at KUNM’s schedule of musical programs lists some of these other titles.

To all the naysayers: The NPR affiliate(s) serving your individual areas are locally programmed, so if after checking your local station’s site, you feel they should add another nationally-distributed program, I suggest you use their feedback forms and enlist your friends.

Also, I believe without exception, all NPR affiliates do some kind of streaming or podcasting across the ‘net, so if there’s a show that you’d like to try, it’s super easy to give a listen.

I think that this story is yet another example of the blatant hypocrisy of the liberal elite. Schiller was whoring the integrity of NPR for some money – or he was speaking from the heart. Either one is appalling. If a conservative was caught saying some of the things Schiller said, NPR would have devoted a whole hour excoriating that person, the republican party, the tea party, conservatives in general, and – ahhh, let’s get the Ira Glass or those Wait! Wait! Don’t tell me folks in to lampoon how stupid all conservatives are…..oooo! oooo! and don’t forget Sarah Palin!

I would hope it’s not just the 1-3% of the total revenue NPR gets from the government that is going to be lost – I hope that a number of people who think that NPR is ‘unbiased’ will finally wake up and hang up when the unwashed, hairy-armpitted hippie girls call asking for your money during the eternal pledge drive……

@John Martin: I listen to their news programs if I’m in the car with the radio turned on, but the overwhelming majority of an NPR affilate’s programming day is music and that why I gladly donate to two stations, plus I give additional money to a local unaffiliated community radio station. It’s pretty much the formula that I’ve used for years and while I appreciate NPR’s longform news, it’s the music that keeps me from switching stations.

What’s even worse is legals that won’t do jobs that illegals will do because it’s below them. 9% UNEMPLOYMENT and they’ll turn down paying jobs. Morons like you think employers hire illegals so they can abuse and underpay them.Truth is legal Americans won’t do these jobs and find it’s easier to sponge off the rest of us.

No, some Americans won’t do the jobs for the PAY OFFERED. It just means that the pay has to be increased. That’s the deal. No illegals and if a business can’t stand on it’s own, then so be it.

Sorry but it’s different from five years ago when people were being overpaid when the unemployment rate was 5%. Bookkeepers were getting paid like CPA’s, and business paid a premium for help. That has changed and when I hear people turn down jobs because it’s not to their pay scale it makes me puke.That’s how supply and demand works in the private sector. Too bad the government and state’s didn’t look at it this way because now they’re paying the piper.

As bad as Morning Joe is with Joe there, it is worse when Mika is running things around the table. Someone please give her a personality. One without passing judgment on everyone. She ain’t God even though in her little mind she thinks she is. And good grief, dump that Mike Barnicle guy. I’d rather watch paint dry than listen to him.

If NPR’s reportage was any more politically correct, it would be comatose.
Do you ever hear them screaming and name calling as the folks on commercial radio do?
We need NPR as a standard of what mature, intelligent reporting should be.
