House votes to cut off federal funds for NPR

Quote: [Republicans] also denied that the measure was a vendetta against NPR...

Oh FFS. David Brooks speaks on NPR. David Brooks. Whenever I hear his voice I need to go read some Paul Krugman to clean my brain. Don't tell me NPR is anti-Republican.

Sorry, my eloquence has gone out the window. Too much bullshit... Does this mean that PBS will be the next to lose funding? I mean, since we're clearly bound and damned to destroy any opposing viewpoints AT ALL.
