The economic downturn combined with the changes in how people communicate has forced NPR AKA National Propaganda Radio, long a government funded bastion for the ultra left wing radical press announced today they are laying off 7% of their workforce or 64 employees and cancelling two radio shows; "Day to Day" and "News & Notes" from its lineup.This comes on the heels of the Tribune owner of the Baltimore Sun filing for bankruptcy protection and the nosedive in stock values for traditional media companies such as Gannet, with its local daily times.
NPR offers a different perspective on news and world events and is funded by State & Federal tax revenues, private foundations and individuals with left leaning political ideology.
Wonder who is going to be next?
National Propaganda Radio? Come on now... If ther was no NPR on the shore the entire collection of airwaves would be filled with only extreme right wing banter, the same 10 songs over and over and over and very, very, very little intelligent content.
ReplyDeleteGood to know NPR is out there, using the power of the airwaves to draw out hateful, angry rednecks like you, Billy ... saves me the trouble of having to guess who the a$$holes are.
ReplyDeleteIf we didn't have NPR on the Shore, specifically at SU, we wouldn't have Mikey Dunn either. There is something to be said for cutbacks. He should be cut out of a job for blogging while working.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should give NPR a listen before you apply labels. I think that NPR provides a very even-handed perspective and presents listeners with an intelligent in-depth discussion of today's news.

ReplyDeleteI have been listening to NPR for almost 40-years and still listen to it.
Just because I do not agree with the political viewpoint does not mean I will not listen to it.
NPR is great. Very educational.
ReplyDeleteOnly drawback to it is Mike Dunn.
JMHO.
