Maybe you should just admit that you cannot explain something that has no relationship to the other. I suppose I'd have to "educate" you on the lack of similarity between the two incidences.

Both situations involve conversations that were recorded without one party knowing, both situations involve people claiming to be someone they aren't in order to get the conversation moving. Both situations involve one side saying things that can easily be seen as derogatory towards the other side which is the main reason people care about these recordings in the first place.

Do I need to school you more or is that enough for now?

I think you misunderstood me. I said NPR's hosts did a good job when interviewing conservatives and republicans, but the same professional journalistic practices cease when the guest or caller is a liberal or a democrat.

First of all who/what are the "sides?" Secondly, did the NPR reporter admit to consideration of planting "trouble makers" somewhere? Does the NPR reporter hold a public office? Does the NPR reporter talk about a scheme whereby he can trick a group of people to come together under false pretenses? Does the NPR reporter admit that he will not budge or compromise on his opinion?

I am thinking that the release of this video will bring in enormous donations to NPR making funding by the government no longer needed. I agree, NPR should be the voice of the people, without government involvement.

I didn't say the 2 situations were exactly the same, I figured you guys might be smart enough to comprehend what I said. I gave a number of clear correlations and you ignore them, I'm shocked.

After watching it, I am more than ever convinced that NPR is unbiased in their reporting. America is about diversity. Too bad the same cannot be said about Fox News.
ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC

and

FOX News


One stands alone, so go watch any of the other six left leaning networks, its a free country.

I couldn't agree more, defund NPR and let liberals fund their media outlet if they want to.
