You could pay a monthly fee for SIRIS or others but public radio is public radio, not commercial. Yes there are short announcer comly read five to 15 second sponsor messages now and than, but that's it.

Where else can you listen to this variety of music without paying for it or listen to commercials when the station increases the volume of the commercials over the volume you were listening to.

Commercial radio stations don't like it because if you start listening to public radio, they can't make money adveertising produfcts that allow them to editorialize for political causes you might not agree with, distortion of the news.

If you haven't listen to public radio recently and think it's bad because of you talking radio head said so, do yourself a favor and listen for yourself. It could be good for your children, too. Give it a try.

NPR - Commercial stations don't play most of the busic you hear on NRP. American Roots is probably the only place you can hear an hour of gosspile music whether or not it's tied to a sermon.
Eliminate so corporation can control commercial radio and its message
More government not less
Buying elections, congress and federal judges
Political payola

I bet that most people who are againsst public radio would be amazed at what they would learn by actually listening to it.

Planned Parenthood - anyone can alter video tape as was done in the current PP situation. Just ask FOX News. They've perfected it over the years.

Political maneuvering to purposefully stall the economy, built up the power of the rich, decrease spending on healthcare and entitlement program

Post office - bring it down by not allowing it to make money? What is done with the money like Peers collected? Can it be borrowed? At commercial rates or not and what is the pay back rewuirement in timing. Not able to use that money to keep up with inflation.

Congratulations on your kid's full time job in gaming. As sad as it sounds, the average child spends roughly 40 hours a week in front of a screen which is how much time you spend earning a salary. This could have some serious effects on a child, like internet addiction or even anxiety issues. So what do you say you unplug the computer and take little Tommy outside for a bit? The sun might blind him while his eyes readjust to natural lighting, but we promise it will do him some good.

CONFIRMED: New Study Proves That Fox News Makes You Stupid

Yet another study has been released that proves that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence. World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What's more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.

So the more you watch, the less you know. Or to be precise, the more you think you know that is actually false.

This study corroborates a previous PIPA study that focused on the Iraq war with similar results. And there was an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that demonstrated the break with reality on the part of Fox viewers with regard to health care. The body of evidence that Fox News is nothing but a propaganda machine dedicated to lies is growing by the day.

In eight of the nine questions below, Fox News placed first in the percentage of those who were misinformed (they placed second in the question on TARP). That's a pretty high batting average for journalistic fraud. Here is a list of what Fox News viewers believe that just aint so:

The conclusion is inescapable. Fox News is deliberately misinforming their viewers and they are doing it for a reason. Every issue above is one in which the Republican Party had a vested interest. They benefited from the ignorance that Fox News helped to proliferate. The results were apparent in the election last month as voters based their decisions on demonstrably false information fed to them by Fox News.

By the way, the rest of the media was not blameless. CNN and the broadcast network news operations fared only slightly better in many cases. Even MSNBC, which had the best record of accurately informing viewers, has a ways to go before they can brag about it.

The conclusions in this study need to be disseminated as broadly as possible. Fox's competitors need to report these results and produce ad campaigns featuring them. Newspapers and magazines need to publish the study across the country. This is big news and it is critical that the nation be advised that a major news enterprise is poisoning their minds.

This is not an isolated review of Fox's performance. It has been corroborated time and time again. The fact that Fox News is so blatantly dishonest, and the effects of that dishonesty have become ingrained in an electorate that has been been purposefully deceived, needs to be made known to every American. Our democracy cannot function if voters are making choices based on lies. We have the evidence that Fox is tilting the scales and we must now make certain that they do not get away with it.
