Why I like NPR |
There were two stories on "All Things Considered" tonight that I
thought were absolutely fascinating. They spend about them minutes
total on these stories, you won't find that kind of coverage anywhere
else.
Audio links can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/smzd
"Walter Cronkite: You Are There
Commentator Walter Cronkite discusses the program he hosted in the
1950s which used real network correspondents to tell historical
stories as if those stories were being televised live. The program
taught history, and had a secret history of its own. All the writers
were victims of the McCarthy-era blacklist. They used the tales of
Joan of Arc, Galileo, and others to make thinly disguised points
about contemporary witch-hunts."
At one point, Cronkite replays a section from a "You are There"
episode about Galileo's appearance before the inquisition. Then he
plays a recording of a McCarthy interrogation that occurred shortly
before the "You are There" program aired. The similarities are
striking.
"Wyoming Park Setting for Monument Dispute
A proposed monument for a Casper, Wyo., park condemns homosexuality -
- and specifically Matthew Shepard, the gay man beaten to death in
Laramie, Wyo. The man proposing the monument claims that since the
park has a monument to the Ten Commandments, he can't be banned from
expressing his views on homosexuals. NPR's Jeff Brady reports."
The minister is Fred Phelps. His monument would commemorate the day
Matthew Sheppard "went to hell." Ironically, Phelps is using a court
ruling that allows Ten Commandment monuments to be placed on public
property as long as other religous monuments are allowed. In effect,
his efforts will probably bring about the removal of a Ten
Commandments monument from a town park faster than any efforts by a
secular organization could.
--
"The administration has developed a highly effective propaganda
machine to imbed in the public mind mythologies that grow out of the
one central doctrine that all of the special interests agree on,
which -- in its purest form -- is that government is very bad and
should be done away with as much as possible -- except the parts of
it that redirect money through big contracts to industries that have
won their way into the inner circle."

....
Walter cronkite was a socialist / commie.....
he did what he was told ...to keep his job...
NPR has some good programs....
it also has too many gay stories...
Listen to it and you would swear that gays make up
half the population.
Also...NPR is very liberal/socialist
Socialist? What, you think that's the next stop on the train to
Liberlism? What program or interview do you know of which inidcates
that either the station or any of its on-air personlities are
socialist?
...and has a left
slant to the news and its stories...if you care to listen...
How would we determine where the fair middle is? Do you think there is
only one spectrum of opinion, with neocons on one end and liberals on
the other? Can you give an example of a story that was skewed by them?
Thats fine...just...NO federal money should go
to a political station that is unfair in its reporting...
Why not? ashcroft spent $8000 to cover up a statue's boobs.
...and your point about NPRs McCarthy story..in disguise...
it was a pro jewish story
So if a story condemns a conservative's oppressive or illegal
behavior, then any objection to such behavior is somehow support for a
whole group of people... Hmmm. Perhaps it was just a story about folks
dealing with a powerful bully. Who was likely an anti-Semite, but I
don't know. Perhaps he was one of the few of his political persuasion
who weren't. I rather thought the story was pro Constitution, pro
human rights, pro law, pro academic freedom. It never occurred to me
to think of it as pro Jewish; but that just me.
...most of the McCarthy
victims were jews...dig a little you will see the slant..
Maybe McCarthy was anti-Jewish. Maybe Jews are disproportionately
likely to end up as businessmen, lawyers, and artists. Maybe you're
talking through your hat. Maybe an educated and long-persecuted
minority is slightly more likely to be liberal. <shrug> Are you
suggesting that whichever of these scenarios is true, that McCarthy
was *not an unAmerican bully, a Torquemada wannabe?

Hoffman replies:
Please henceforth refrain from feeding the neo-cons
ego by claiming that they are at the rightmost end of the
political spectrum, as they are most definately not.
"Neo-conservatives", generically speaking are the
left-most group of all conservatives from a politcal-philosophy
standpoint. The fact that they are the most agressive bullies is
completely beside the point and in no way makes them the
most "right wing" (other than perhaps in their deluded imagination).
Bullying and 'world domination' does not make one ultra-right
wing in any form of political philosophy that I've ever learned.
Bullying and Imperialism is NOT located on the opposite of
political spectrum from socialism and communism. Rather,
ultra-capitalism is at the opposite end of the spectrum from
ultra-communism, which therefore makes libertarians and
anarcho-capitalists the rightmost end of the spectrum followed
by "paleo-conservatives" who are a few notches to the left
of libertarians.
Neo-cons are "big government" meglomaniacs and they
have no problems whatsoever in spending taxpayer money to
pursue their imperialistic and omnipotent Ultra-State agenda...
which really makes them centrists or moderates leaning towards
left wing socialism... The neo-con agenda of taking taxpayer
money to feed the mighty leviathan, Ultra-State, is really no
different than socialists who take taxpayer money for other
more supposedly 'social' purposes. Either way, both groups
are taking taxpayer money for frivelous and non-essential
purposes, which makes them left-wing leaning.

Further it could be stated the right winger's (evil) Yeah! That must be it,
are against oppresion for other countries, and won't stand for it.
The left wing stands for What? War on Individuality, wants a great
Democratic UTOPIA. In their utopia they want everybody to be moraless,
murder's get glory while in jail. A society where everybody is equally
just, can't earn his or own way, lets be like North Korea, Iran! Let's
listen to the government for what we can and cannot do.
Geesh! Get real! Only thing right wingers are for is freedom and "LET
FREDOM RING BUD!" ... STand up and protect your own country. It outrages
me, NPR? No, it doesn't. What outrages me is that it is funded by public
tax dollars. Its a disgrace.

But by all means, go on deluding yourself. You've very good at it.
..........
If you are older..act your age..act like you have some sense...
Get professional help...
This, coming from someone with more hatred and xenophobia than I have
seen anywhere else on this forum.
Have you heard of the term "projection?"

There were two stories on "All Things Considered" tonight that I
thought were absolutely fascinating. They spend about them minutes
total on these stories, you won't find that kind of coverage anywhere
else.
Audio links can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/smzd
"Walter Cronkite: You Are There
Commentator Walter Cronkite discusses the program he hosted in the
1950s which used real network correspondents to tell historical
stories as if those stories were being televised live. The program
taught history, and had a secret history of its own. All the writers
were victims of the McCarthy-era blacklist. They used the tales of
Joan of Arc, Galileo, and others to make thinly disguised points
about contemporary witch-hunts."
At one point, Cronkite replays a section from a "You are There"
episode about Galileo's appearance before the inquisition. Then he
plays a recording of a McCarthy interrogation that occurred shortly
before the "You are There" program aired. The similarities are
striking.
"Wyoming Park Setting for Monument Dispute
A proposed monument for a Casper, Wyo., park condemns homosexuality -
- and specifically Matthew Shepard, the gay man beaten to death in
Laramie, Wyo. The man proposing the monument claims that since the
park has a monument to the Ten Commandments, he can't be banned from
expressing his views on homosexuals. NPR's Jeff Brady reports."
The minister is Fred Phelps. His monument would commemorate the day
Matthew Sheppard "went to hell." Ironically, Phelps is using a court
ruling that allows Ten Commandment monuments to be placed on public
property as long as other religous monuments are allowed. In effect,
his efforts will probably bring about the removal of a Ten
Commandments monument from a town park faster than any efforts by a
secular organization could.

machine to imbed in the public mind mythologies that grow out of the
one central doctrine that all of the special interests agree on,
which -- in its purest form -- is that government is very bad and
should be done away with as much as possible -- except the parts of
it that redirect money through big contracts to industries that have
won their way into the inner circle."

....
Walter cronkite was a socialist / commie.....
he did what he was told ...to keep his job...
NPR has some good programs....
it also has too many gay stories...
Listen to it and you would swear that gays make up
half the population.
Also...NPR is very liberal/socialist...and has a left
slant to the news and its stories...if you care to listen...
Thats fine...just...NO federal money should go
to a political station that is unfair in its reporting...
...and your point about NPRs McCarthy story..in disguise...
it was a pro jewish story ...most of the McCarthy
victims were jews...dig a little you will see the slant..
peace
love

Yet more fuzzy logic from the right-wing.
Pravda was (is?) government-owned and, pay attention here, spouted the
government line -- think Fox news, only much, much worse.
NPR receives a small amount of its funding from the government and
toes NOBODY'S line.
There is no comparison between the two.
