Just like Wal-mart wouldn't pay for ad time on abc if too much bad stuff was said about them.
Everyone's got to get their funding from somewhere man, and that funding is always subject to being withdrawn. |
LOL!
People in my circles refer to npr as national petroleum radio...
You and I are in agreement about npr and pbs, and it is unfortunate that you are not aware of public news that is not underwritten...
In addition, this administration has slashed funding to public broadcasting every year....

What is KPFT?
We're an FM radio station, situated at 90.1 on your radio. We are one of the five stations that comprise what is called the Pacifica Network, a subject we'll explain later.
Nearly 90 percent of our funding comes from individual listener-members. We have no large corporate sponsors. All too often, massive funding arrives with an agenda, not to mention all those commercials! Because of our independence from concentrated control, you can hear the difference between us and any other station in the first 10 or 15 minutes of listening. We are definitely different, and we revel in it

And this is offsubject, but your post stayed and so should mine, right... LOL!

Please, at least TRY to make a point in your own words after you copy & paste the alarmist crap you find.

Sorry to upset you, friend.. If you could define an alarmist's crap, maybe I could use it to help me out.... Because, up until now, I thought it was a vague label used by someone to discredit someone elses pov that is contrary to theirs when they have no defense... Lots of republicans referred to scientists that were warning about the energy crisis and global warming alarmists, but soothsayer is looking to be more accurate label.....
Now for clarification, I was posting things have gone wrong in the past, and sometimes been covered up with other atomic programs, which the super colider is, and I do not think that we have much to worry, but if we do not look to the past we can not make safe decisions about the future.... On a personal note, the original site was supposed to be here, and I was sad to hear that it went overseas, where it will benefit another economy.... But this administration has been writing incentives to move big business overseas, so you would assume that it would be logical for someone else to get the bid....
