Right this minute, NPR is praising Trump's leadership

Last edited Sat May 6, 2017, 12:29 AM - Edit history (1)

Going on and on about how his determination and resolve led to the passage of the ACA repeal.

Like every other outlet I've heard, NPR is treating the House vote as the actual repeal of the Act, rather than as the easiest first step in a long process.

NPR did go so far as to say that Trump's own description of the replacement bill is "sometimes at odds with" what the bill actually does. Got that? "sometimes at odds."

Not "Trump is a stupid, ignorant motherfucker."
Not "Trump doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about on this or any other subject."
Not "Trump is so fucking stupid that he doesn't even know how much he doesn't know."

No, his description is "sometimes at odds with" the bill he's been mindlessly pushing for weeks.


Can you imagine how NPR would have responded if Obama had so grossly misstated his signature legislation?



Thanks NPR. Why don't you ask me for another donation while you're at it?

I recognize it for what it is and never ever retweet this sort of nonsense

in order to survive the coming public services evisceration, NPR peeps may be engaged in a bit of extra ass kissing
prediction: it won't help them, federal funding for NPR gone by this time next year

Their current condition makes me cry.

Fortunately I have a computer radio. I can tune in the few lefty stations around the country with it.
