A worse radio station than npr. Houston's KPFT. Back in the 2015s they literally had a daily radio show hosted by a leader in the Nation of Islam…. Literally a hate group leader according to pew.

The scariest part is that they're no longer afraid to say the quiet part out loud. We've reached the phase where they've justified the evil so it's OK to put it out there for public consumption since the masses of NPC hordes will defend it.

Absolutely frightening.


When you look back at various times large groups of society swung way outside the bounds of reason, like Nazi Gremany or Mao's Revolution, it seems crazy that so many people participate in and condoned such extreme hate filled violence. But somewhere on their path to that there was a point at which it became socially acceptable to openly state what would normally be hidden. At some point the social pressure against suggesting these extreme views was challenged and a critical mass of people agreed to alter the rules. My observation would be that once that happens, societal rules and norms collapse extremely quickly.

We now have leftists openly denying that objective truth matters, that the rule of law should apply when it counters their agenda, or that violence is an unacceptable tool to advance political objectives.

We are entering the end game, because I cannot see how peaceful coexistence is going to be possible with a group of people willing to openly support these extreme divisions

No Titan, remove all government funding and let them self fund and report anyway they seem fit.

Then they are just another commercial radio station. Really wouldn't mind the idea of test running if actually correct and balanced station has any interest. It already exists -- just repurpose it.

Its from a hearing they had yesterday

So True! A more recent and modern example, and for those who read of it or even watched that not really wrong movie of it, `Hotel Rwanda' --- - Rwanda is the best modern example of your bolded. Already existing divides were deliberately amplified by their main Media and a particular political faction.

(People ask why we didn't help more in 1994 -- that kind of thing is generally not that practical. But it might not have hurt to just dispatch an assassin or two "to train" and take out the very bad apples and give those being genocided as chance. But don't talk about it)

Exactly, they should be. Could you imagine the left sitting still if Rush Limbaugh had received one penny of government funding to broadcast? NPR is the left's Limbaugh, with a calm cool delivery and without sardonism.

Or, admittedly, truth.

No argument with that point. (and nortex97's apt caveat!)

But then, what makes them different -- what WAS NPR's purpose? Clearly it wasn't the same as WBAP -- the government was behind it.

It was a Great Society Program, that pretty much identifies it as a very bad idea.

I think the intent was education of youth, to encompass all American culture viewpoints and be a national broadcast one could listen to anywhere in America. It was somehow important due to radio band limitations.

It's time has come and gone because it was also supposed to be non-biased and not accept commercial pressures via advertising, rather grants from foundations and NGOs that were not political. However, look at what foundations and NGOs have become.

Thanks. That does lean toward-- get rid of it. Especially being from LBJ's program. But the better argument is its time is so obviously passed. if anything our issues are a glut of information viewpoints for the public. So that kind of clinches it.

That's one dumb broad

You see the Atlantic editor thread last page --- she is also the Chair of the Board of Signal if a post is true.

Air America was a failure.

NPR ... if they had no public support would fail too.

Management, employees, and politicians that perpetually fund / support that bottomless pit know it

Sell it off... now.

KPFT at least plays some music I like. And I don't mind hearing some true believers ramble every now and then, even if they're loons. The most egregious political content and Left Wing conspiracy **** I've ever heard on that station was in their NPR segments.

Why in the hell we publicly support a radio station that is so politically biased is beyond me. NPR and PBS don't need one red cent from taxpayers. If lefties like it so much, send your donations in.
Next step, eliminate all federal funding from Planned Parenthood.
