Rep. Jim McGovern: “My amendment would prohibit …taxpayer dollars from being used for advertising on the partisan, political platform of Fox News.”
ClusterFox is getting NPR’d, courtesy of Rep. Jim McGovern. Hey, fair is fair… and balanced.

We all know what’s going on here. The reason this bill is before us is that a discredited, right-wing activist recently made a selectively-edited, 11 minute video of a two-hour conversation. The target of his little sting was a fundraising executive at NPR who no longer works there.
That executive made what appeared to be disparaging remarks about the Republican Party. Now, if you look at what he actually said, in full context, it’s clear that he was paraphrasing what other Republicans had said about the direction of the party.
