NPR Ombudsman Alicia C. Shepard is Hideously Dishonest

Quoting NPR Ombudsman Alicia C. Shepard
(who was commenting on this controversy):

“NPR does not receive direct funding from the federal government. Less than 2 percent of its annual budget comes from competitive grants from federally funded institutions.”

NPR’s Alicia C. Shepard further suggests that NPR showed political balance “On Dec. 31, [when] Fiore took after Obama on npr.org.” Is Ms. Shepard SO ideologically blinkered that she TRULY BELIEVES political balance is achieved by:

1) Mocking Obama for -- in the eyes of Fiore -- not being enough of a leftwing extremist.

2) Simultaneously mocking “Rightwing Ralphie”.

Sadly, at NPR (and CPB) this IS what they regard as “balance”.

I might suggest that NPR find a new (and less ethically challenged) Ombudsman. But, I am certain the next one would be no better than this one. What I REALLY want is for the utterly dishonest and pathetically propagandistic NPR to STOP ROBBING ME AT GUNPOINT!
