AA is too far right for NPR. Can you document that? FAIR has recently done an analysis of NPR and came up with figures that clearly dispute your claim. FAIR counts quite a few more conservatives as guests on NPR than knee-jerk anti-NPR people are used to complaining about. I don't recall hearing a single conservative guest on Air America. That would make Air America much farther left (by their own admission and promotion) than NPR. Rich |

Why on God's earth would Franken interview another talk show host, unless the shows were simulcast and Franken could get exposure on Boortz's stations? Did Boortz do something of news value that almost required an interview? Of course "never again." What did Boortz expect? Probably the same treatment a liberal would get on a conservative show. Two absolutely immovable objects ranting at each other. Same ol, same ol. Rich |

: I think it was Boortz who said he was on Frankin. He also said never again. Franken caught Boortz in a lie about having offered Franken to guest-host Boortz's show (back before AA existed), and saying that Franken had refused because Boorts wouldn't allow him to control the phone callers. Franken called Boortz on the lie while on the phone with him, playing the tape of Boortz lying, then forcing Boortz to admit that he had lied. I heard the segment. Boortz came off as a lying, blowhard putz. Of COURSE Boortz said "never again" after that. -- |I always wanted to be someone,| Tom Betz, Generalist | |but now I think I should have | Want to send me email? | |been a wee bit more specific. | http://tinyurl.com/ps2u | |

@xuxa.iecc.com: Lying, blowhard putz? Speaking of Michael Moore, did you ever pin down the alleged "lie" by Fred Barnes that had the humor-challenged all in a tizzy? Last I heard, Barnes never called Franken back. -- "I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle; for how can they charitably dispose of anything when blood is their argument? Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the King that led them to it; who to disobey were against all proportion of subjection." - W.S. |

NPR referred to him as President Clinton. Now what does NPR do when referring to "President Bush" they use negative omissions and detractive code words: simply referring to the President as "Bush" or 'mister' "Bush" and the "Bush" 'administration'. NPR is the primary propaganda organ for the Liberal Media ELITE [.] So Say I, My Opinions Stated As Facts ~ RHF .. |

Just another troll with a bad memory. NPR, and many other news organisations, will use all three forms just to avoid being repetitive. Regardless of the person or party holding the office. Same goes for Representatives and Senators. Shheeessshhh! Could we PLEASE refrain from keeping these useless, wasteful and off-topic threads (although this one is less so than most of the crap that's been droning on-and-on for the last two weeks) from bloating this newsgroup? I, and I'm sure quite a bunch more, would appreciate it! By now you should know who is and who is not worth engaging. Use that knowledge to do the best thing, which is to just ignore them. Or put them in your kill file. They can't talk to themselves (although there may be a few who don't quite meet that criteria, either)! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There must always be the appearance of lawfulness....especially when the law's being broken. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For direct replies, take out the contents between the hyphens. -Really!- |
