The Obama administration released a statement today condemning a move in the House of Representatives to strip National Public Radio (NPR) of government funding. The House Rules Committee approved the bill in an emergency hearing yesterday, and the statement from the Obama administration was released just ahead of a pending House vote. The White House warned the bill could force small rural public radio stations to shut down by denying them federal funding to purchase content. Republicans began an offensive against NPR after a video was released showing a former fundraising official denouncing the Tea Party.

NPR has been a left wing mouth piece for many years. originally NPR got our tax dollars because it was said there weren't enough choices for viewers. well, that has certainly changed over the years. there's plenty to chose from today.
the fundraising official made it perfectly clear that NPR no longer needed our tax dollars. so what's the problem?
just say NO MORE TAX DOLLARS for NPR. goodbye
