NPR scandal?

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

While the pre­ced­ing state­ment would seem to leave no hope for human­i­ty, cut­ting off fund­ing for an orga­ni­za­tion that has demon­strat­ed a clear agen­da dri­ven by only one point of view, (alleged­ly) would seem to be a good move, it is through these dark days that men with clear char­ac­ter and the back bone to stand up to those who would enslave human­i­ty, (alleged­ly) must see through to the light that shines in the dark­est night the light of truth.  When an orga­ni­za­tion like this one that has time after time shown that it can­not process infor­ma­tion in a fair and bal­anced man­ner accepts pub­lic funds from the pub­lic whom are made of a diverse set of val­ues, we can­not in good con­scious allow this to con­tin­ue as if it were some kind of enti­tle­ment.

It is time to pull the cov­ers off of these mon­sters, (alleged­ly) and reveal the dark hearts of those that seek to defame and destroy.

When one side of the scales become too weight­ed the result is not a desir­able thing, in fact the idea that one point of view or anoth­er is the only point of view is a dan­ger­ous thing, yet so often we see so many peo­ple that try to force their views on the world.

One exam­ple was Hitler, it was extreme, it was hor­ri­ble, it was ter­ri­fy­ing, yet, peo­ple allowed it to hap­pen because they were afraid to say any­thing about it, when you exam­ine the many hor­ri­ble things that hap­pened, and the very real promise that this would nev­er be allowed to hap­pen again, you have to come to the con­clu­sion that when a sta­tion like NPR has only one point of view “most of the time” then that is just as wrong as they say it is for Fox news to have a bal­anc­ing point of view.

This is what you get?

This is the hope and change you vot­ed for?
This is the spe­cial inter­ests that we would not have?

My friends this is just Amaz­ing, when a broad­cast­ing com­pa­ny receives mon­ey from the pub­lic, but they only sup­port one side of the equa­tion, the peo­ple of the US are diverse, there is more than one view that must be rep­re­sent­ed.

It is impos­si­ble to only rep­re­sent one view point, when you take mon­ey from all Amer­i­cans, you have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to present an equal view, oth­er­wise you should not take the mon­ey.

It is Amaz­ing, to see this kind of behav­ior, it has been going on for years, just like you see the unions only sup­port­ing one polit­i­cal par­ty, con­sid­er­ing the poten­tial for cor­rupt behav­ior, you must find a way to equal­ly rep­re­sent the mem­bers of your union, yet, only one side is rep­re­sent­ed.

This can­not work, sim­ply because even in a union there are dif­fer­ing and diver­gent points of view, again we are faced with the idea that only one point of view is ever rep­re­sent­ed, this is wrong.
