2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI just heard on NPR that Romney stands with Chicago's parents and students.
Um....that's a might big assumption he's making.

(36,437 posts)What does he know about public schools anyway. That dude went to Cranbrook.
Or, to quote Eminem in 8 Mile
"But I know something about you.
You went to Cranbrook, that's a private school...
What's the matter, dawg, are you embarrassed?
This guy's a gangsta? His real name's Clarence..."

(5,038 posts)NPR news has moved so far to the right its seems absurd to support it with public money. If they want to become another Fox News Lite - let them do it on their own dime.

(15,649 posts)NPR was simply reporting what Romney said.
But thanks for the info.

(5,038 posts)I expect Romney to stand on the wrong side of each and every issue - I don't expect "public radio" to...
Thanks.

(15,649 posts)What is so hard to understand that this was just a news report? The kind they do at the beginning of the hour where they say who said what without a lot of commentary?
Talk about having an agenda.
Jeez.

(5,038 posts)Since Bush broke NPR they usually report with a decided bias towards republicans. More often than not they deliver one sided reporting featuring conservative talking points. I understand your point and I'm going to keep making mine about NPR as long as you keep responding to me.
Its up to you.
Have a nice day.

(18,791 posts)I stopped listening to NPR during the 2008 campaign.
After listening for YEARS and donating locally, I stopped listening and donating.
I simply could not take the "snarkage" of Steve Inskeep, Michelle Norris, Juan Williams and Mara "I work for FOX News" Liasson.
They were NOT reporting in a neutral fashion, which is what I expect from them. There was subtle verbiage and tone, that
was not favorable to then candidate Obama and Democrats in general.
My partner, who had listened for over 30 years got so mad, he too stopped listening.
p.s...and then there was the resignation of Andrea Seabrook just a couple months ago.

(18,791 posts)He's anti-labor! AND, as all Repukes and Baggers, they HATE unions!
Another thing on the check list...
Hates labor and working Americans.
Check!

(19,458 posts)and dislike the Admins, as well as the School Board. the people that hate the teachers unions are usually the old fucks that haven't had a kid in school in 40 years, but whine about their tax dollars.
Most teacher's strikes I've seen end rather quickly, and usually feature kids and parents supporting the teachers. So Mitt is just being a dick, as usual.
