"A Trivial Amount of Money"

New York Times writer Michael Shear says the Republican move to defund NPR is a “distraction over a trivial amount of money.” Apparently Shear isn’t intelligent enough to realize it’s not the AMOUNT of money, it’s the PRINCIPLE represented by the government subsidizing (not advertising with) a news organization that has proven itself to be unalterably biased in favor of that government. Where does NYT find these dolts? Is being a FOOL a requirement for working at NYT? One would think so, considering the product they turn out. Maybe that IS a requirement for people to turn out such drivel. (News Busters)
