I am getting frustrated with people again. I have been politically inactive on my blog for some time. I can’t stay quiet anymore.
I read something on a conservative blog (To this day the commenter’s on Michelle Malkin’s site crack me up and I do understand that the comments are not the product of Michelle Malkin, but her post are) about NPR, I personally do not believe that NPR is “left-leaning” as I discussed this with someone the other day. I hear both sides of the news, I hear TRUE news. Even on shows such as On Point, Tom Ashbrook makes sure that when discussing politics there is @ least one guest from both sides of the political spectrum. I feel that compared to other news sources I am getting the COMPLETE picture without anger from either side. I get the NEWS, not a load of angry opinions.
A bit of information- currently only 2% of the NPR’s funding comes from Government grants. 2 % !
You know what I enjoy about NPR is that on shows like Talk of the Nation or OnPOINT have callers who call in, who all have different opinion. They express their “opinions” or “questions” without being bullied, told they are wrong etc… There is TRUE conversation, dialog occurring and that is something I can stand behind.
Here is the article on Michelle Malklins site NPR and Abortion Language. People are Pro-Choice not Anti-Life sorry. I believe that an individual has the choice on what they do with their body, it is not my decision or anyones else. I believe that whatever the woman does either keep the child or decide to have an abortion is her decision to live with. The comments on here just make me shake my head.
Looking around a bit more I found this article about Planned Parenthood and Valentines Cards. I was ok with the subject I suppose until I see it links to a Pro-Life website and one great comment stating “Hearts from the people who stop hearts”.
Another FACT: 3% of Planned Parenthoods services are abortions. They focus on sexual health, education services and birth control. (82% of their patients receive services to prevent pregnancies)
Also a bit of A&P for the person who made that asinine comment: The heart of a fetus is not fully formed for 8 weeks.
I guess I just get angry at how much MISINFORMATION is spouted off as FACT. I also get as irritated with Daily Kos also, so it doesn’t matter liberal or conservative.
