Lyondon Johnson created National Public Radio in 1967 when he signed a Congressional act. NPR is funded in part by tax money from state governments, universities, corporate foundations, and individual donors, through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. NPR also is famous for a notoriously extreme Left-wing slant in its news coverage and on the air commentary. Please follow the link below to the NPR Style Memo and see if you think this statement is anywhere near the world of reality: "This updated policy is aimed at ensuring the words we speak and write are as clear, consistent and neutral as possible." Repeat, "neutral as possible." Are they delusional radicals or just intellectually dishonest or both? Be sure to read the NPR definition of "neutral" language in the style memo below.
NPR has now decreed that no announcer shall be permitted to ever again use the term "pro-abortion" or "pro-life" and from now on the world is divided only into people who are "pro-abortion rights" or "anti-abortion rights." Bias in the media? Its all in your imagination of course. But if you want to read the official internal NPR Memo with the new style rules, CLICK HERE.
But if you still favor "the rights of unborn children" and want to criticize Obama for being "against the rights of unborn children" I think it is still OK to use those terms on IR until the Federal Thought Police show up to arrest all of us. I have to sign off now, I hear them knocking on my door as we speak.
