DUer fired - mailed NPR this letter regarding it... [View All]

[liberalitch]

To whom it may concern,

I, in good conscience, can no longer donate to NPR as I have for 20 years. I discovered through a liberal website to which I belong that a friend of mine was fired for allegedly planning to sabotage radio tribute to Reagan. We belong to these websites in order to express ourselves in these dark days of the Bush Administration, the things we type we type for our friends to see and comment on.
The person in question was fired from NPR affiliate WHIL 91.3. This person may or may NOT have carried out the covert sabotage that may have offended Reagan's supporters, but we will never know. This is because a Conservative trespasser of this site reported the off hour exchange on a leisure website to the boss of the person in question and they were fired.... having not actually done anything wrong. This action is indicative of a trend toward the elimination of our right to free association and speech in this nation.
In the 1950s in Montgomery, Al. the power of the purse strings won desegregation of the public buses. I am hoping that I am not the only one to feel this way and that I am not the only one to act on it. Perhaps one day NPR will again be an arena where even the employees will be free to express themselves on their own time.
Until then,
