@DawnOfTheDead991 No the point is NPR gets taxpayer money and therefore has a duty to be as unbiased as possible. Why? Because the American taxpayer is gay, straight, black, white, right wing, left wing, and everything in between. If NPR wants to play to a certain group or ideology let them be supported privately by that group. Fox News and MSNBC make money on their own and can do what they want. NPR has a moral duty not be in the bag for left wing ideologues. It is called ethics.

@MrDarudin You don't know what you are talking about. The American right wing believes in individual rights first and foremost. The American left are statists that use womens lib, gay rights, race issues, and income inequality for nothing more than to create animosity for votes. The American left then goes and defends the religion of Islam which is the biggest enemy to women, gays, freedom of speech, and religion.The American left doesn't even care about the garbage it espouses.You know nothing.

@SubstancePrime Then we should cut all Public funding. If any Public funds are used it is the property of the public. If no public funding is needed then why do we give it to them?

@MrDarudin Republicans don't pick on anyone. The left uses these minority groups to pick on everyone. There are an endless number of minority groups with an endless number of needs that need government action according to liberals. They use this to grab power and demand the rest of us not challenge it or we are against these minority groups. They are nothing more than political tools. If gay marriage were legalized in every state tomorrow there would be some other gay problem to latch onto.

@chuck3668831 I'm not arguing that I am hence more evolved. I just believe that it is wrong for the state to have any say in what two consenting adults do. Republicans constantly attack and corner weak groups of society and blame them for all the wrongs of society.

If a critique of an unsolicited reply is too much to bear, you should probably avoid giving voice to such a nonsensical position. At the very least, you should be polite enough not to involve someone not interested in making racism and other prejudices into political positions or insisting on an argument from a comedic monologue. I am sorry for disappointing you by not agreeing with you. Farewell.

I didn't make my original post to provoke pedantic discussions about what is or is not a political opinion, or how best to classify this YouTube video, and what sort of responses are acceptable on said videos. However, since those have been the main things you've taken issue with, I bid you farewell.

I don't disagree that Klavan brings up the comments mainly to highlight their depravity, but he also uses them as an excuse to question the taxpayer funding NPR receives. As per usual, Klavan devotes most of the video time to ridicule, and only hints at an actual argument, but that argument has repeatedly been spelled out more clearly in this comment section.

I don't see how describing someones views about the tea party, race, class, or gun ownership as political opinions is "hilariously absurd". These are all issues that deal either directly or indirectly with government policy. If they are not political opinions, then what are they? Whatever you want to call them, this semantic argument is irrelevant to my original point.

PBS use Dora the Explorer to foist multiculturalism on children and to make it seem that Spanish is equal in status to English in this country.

@SubstancePrime

Opinions don't necessarily become political simply because they are about political organizations. The opinions mentioned in the video by the executives have no more to do with politics than opinions on the catering at the Capitol.
