Jim DeMint Introduces Bill to Defund NPR, PBS After Juan Williams Firing

Maybe DeMint should get off the government dole himself and create some jobs in the private sector.

Thanks for providing my laugh for today....... the irony here is priceless..... Fox News saying NPR is a one-pary one-sided network....... who are they kidding?

Republican Senator Jim DeMint should spend more time focused on the problems of his state of South Carolina which ranks as one of the poorest.

Federal funding needs to stop for public radio and tv. How many radio station are there now. There are hundrerd of tv channels. What ever you want to see it there all the time. It is time to look at a lot of public spending the government need to cut everything it can to get back to a balance budget.

The ONLY issue NPR had with Juan Williams is that he was a frequent contributor on the FOX NEWS programs. Juan leans left, I lean right, but I have always enjoyed listening to what Juan brought to the debates. Certainly, NPR is left leaning, so it could not be what Juan had to say, it can only be the venue that they found disturbing.

Demint is trying to grab the headlines. Does he know the facts behind the Williams firing or does he even care if he can get a headline from ignorantly jumping into the fray. I do not like Jim Demint. I believe that he represents the worst in us.

Public broadcasting has become nothing but another left-wing propaganda outlet. They brought it on themselves.

this will be demints "waterloo"

Jim Demint...another tough talking draft dodger speaks out.

How pathetic is this. DeMint is pissed because some "liberal" analyst from NPR got fired for repeatedly violating his contract with NPR. This was not the first time Jaun has done this. NPR has reprimanded him many times in the past and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Now DeMint wants to pull funding for PBS! Is he serious? It looks like he just can't stand Sesame Street or Nature. There just liberal shows anyway. We don't need none of that learning stuff. Just keep the people stupid and we can get away with anything we want. Want a shame. I guess for DeMint this is more important than actually putting forth some ideas that will help this country instead of just saying NO! And yes, putting an end to earmarks would count as a good thing for this country. But at this point it’s like trying to stop the stampede after someone has yelled fire! Where was this so called worry about the deficit during G.W.’s years. Oh, I forgot they only care now because there is a Dem in office and they want him to look bad so they can convince people that they should vote to put them back in power for them and their favorite corporations to rape us again and again. What a guy…..
