I mentioned nothing regarding NPR beyond the fact that there are people cutting that funding that are outside of your "evil empire" sphere of influence. Further, I support their continuing coverage of the war and their continued funding (one of the places I part ways with my Libby brethren...another is antitrust).
The ONLY reason I gave for the change in timing of the show was because the timing made it DEBATEABLE. (Hence this thread, started by someone other than myself I might add). The timing of the show, regardless of whether or not they >said< it was gonna be a dud in the ratings, made their motives suspect. The creation of an "anniversary" around a suspect action of the CIC and his misuse of a flight suit makes the timing even MORE suspicious. BUT IN THE END, THEIR MOTIVES ARE NOT THE POINT!!!
Furthermore, I have stated from my very first post that I SUPPORT THE BROADCAST! (sheesh, how anti-party line can you get?)
There would have been none such suspicion about motive, nor any of the pushback against the show had the timing been more in line with the use of Memorial Day to backdrop the show. My only point in this entire "creation" of my viewpoint.
