NPR Gets ½ a Clue

Well, it took them long enough to realize that by lending her to the partisan political operation known as Fox News, she is creating a credibility problem for the network:

Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias, two sources familiar with the effort said.

Liasson refused, because she has a contract, and because, "she appears on two of the network’s news programs, not on commentary programs with conservative hosts," except, of course that the agendas of these programs is set by those, "commentary programs with conservative hosts."

See my earlier post, with a spot on Jon Stewart critique of Faux News here.

As to Liasson, she's not quite as hacktacular as Barbara Bradley Hagerdy, who is literally in the pay of right wing Christo Fascists, but to hear the venom drip when she says the world "liberals," is enough.

Another reason, in addition to their balls to the wall opposition to low power radio, for me not to give to them at pledge time.
