NPR ENABLES DESTRUCTIVE CONSERVATIVE MYTHS

I am concerned because at a time when the conservative movement is in crisis and has few if any rational voices left, NPR seems to be trying to prop it up.  We have seen the far right of the party, perhaps forty percent of it, continue to bitch slap Libertarian and moderate Republicans into submission.  Moderate and libertarian Republicans have tried to get some traction but have rapidly been marginalized by their conservative taskmasters.

  As a result the Republican Party is dying a natural death.  So it annoys me to see NPR daily and weekly performing CPR on the moribund corpse of the so-called conservative movement.  Why is NPR doing this?


    NPR is still stuck in the myths of roaring nineties conservatism and can't let

go of conservative delusions that they happily reported as news and economic science for decades. Maybe they really are basically brainwashed by the conservative movement and like bought-and-sold Democrats really don't promote progressive ideas in a conceptually useful way.

   Even though the really existing conservatives have repeatedly tried to destroy public media and NPR in particular it seems that there is a persistent and inappropriate effort at NPR to submit and pander to them.  It seems a lot like sexual abuse and the way that the victim often becomes a perpetrator.  In this case it is the citizenry who suffers from this sick relationship.



Of course the nation and world have been held hostage to the mainstream conservative movement for the eight years before Obama.  It has been ruinous for their beloved capitalism and we are all reeling from the faith based catastrophes that conservatism has brought forth.  Maybe NPR has the Stockholm syndrome but I think NPR should break free of the financial oligarchy and ditch the conservative movement.  Its way past time to rebel but NPR doesn't seem to have that word in its vocabulary.


NPR has a choice, to stand with the workers, farmers and small businesses of the nation or to continue to pander to and serve billionaire, white supremacist ie. really existing conservative rule.


Today NPR is making Republican Party talking points the basis for their Talk of the Nation show!  This is pretty typical.  Conservatives create right wing talking points and NPR acts as the mouthpiece of these points.  The bona fide conservatives don't even have to show up! 

Recent elections won by Republicans are being referenced and it is suggested (twenty times maybe) that there is a conservative resurgence that will overturn Obama.  The conservative resurgence has been the big story since Obama won the election!  Of course the conservative resurgence isn't there but that is the story the Republicans want and the whole of the bourgeois media seems happy to act as their mouthpieces.  If they repeat the conservative resurgence stories enough times maybe the citizenry will start to believe it and of course the people of faith will believe just about anything as long as it smells of privilege through exploitation.


  Yes our political and economic and social ideas are to be fit into the Republican Party framework and every day they put out their talking points and every day NPR lines up to make that the skeleton of the body of their work.  It stinks, NPR promoting and reviving the really existing conservatives.

NPR's relationship to the Fox network has also come under criticism because they share Juan Williams as a commentator.


Juan Williams is the fellow who advocated nuking Riyadh after 9-11.  This is NPR's idea of a liberal and a journalist?  

Like kookie Coakie Roberts Juan Williams enables right wing nonsense and his genocidal statement reveals his real politics, "kill them all!".  Despite weekly news stories on the Jewish aspect of the Nazi led holocaust this advocacy of genocide on an even greater scale has not disturbed NPR.


I am frankly surprised  that NPR uses the Republican talking points to organize their news and talk shows.  It seems that many discussions on the radio are built around a framework that is entirely conservative. This means that listeners are taught to think of things within this conservative framework. 

Of course there is no corresponding liberal framework.  That is the magic of ruling class liberalism, no real principles beyond a sort of empty benevolence and "caring".

Really existing conservatism and the Republicans are in precipitous decline.  The endless repetition of  conservative mantras is not the same as political reporting.  It is simply working for these really existing conservatives, the ones that want to destroy you!

Snap out of it you idiots!
