Andrew McCarthy On The Firing Of Juan Williams

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

National Review Online posted an article yesterday by Andrew McCarthy with the subtitle, "If they cannot defund NPR, you can bet they will not reverse Obamacare."  I never thought of it that way, but he is right.  If the Republicans take the House of Representatives (according to the Constitution, all spending bills are initiated by the House, not the Senate) in November, what they do with the public funding of NPR will be their first test of whether or not they have developed a backbone.

He points out that in addition to having a serious debt problem at the current time, the country has ample sources of information of every political stripe.  There really is not a need for the government to fund NPR--let NPR compete in the marketplace like every other news source.

The firing of Juan Williams and the snarky statement afterward confirmed for many people that 'fair and balanced' was not a part of the NPR plan.  Even if it were, there are enough sources of news and information available so that the government does not have to support NPR.

Let's see if the Republicans can muster to courage to defund NPR.  Then maybe they can go on to bigger and better things!
