NPR continues series on violent beatings of Trump voters by NPR listeners

7 Dec

Did NPR do a story on Trump supporters or MAGA hat wearers or suspected Trump voters being beaten at rallies or dragged from cars by people who heard from NPR and its audience that Trump supporters were racists?

Libertarians included in many debates in DC, but censored from the two largest

10 Sep

One local area libertarian pointed out to me 6th and I synagogue is having this forum and did not invite me.  


I am being invited to all the smaller forums (Capitol Hill Arts Center, DC Statehood group, National Capital Area ACLU, DC Youth Alliance) but not this one and the only big one, the WAMU/NPR forum.  I am asking you to help me by writing a letter to Debra Linick at dlinick@jcouncil.org and ask that I be included.  I have contacted her and so has the fellow who first pointed this out to me.

I will also work on finding a contact for the WAMU on air debate, moderated by Kojo Namdi.

Thank you.

Whether I am included or not I and any other libertarians who can will be at the event to flyer the audience.

Hi Bruce,
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington is the organization coordinating the candidate forum. Sixth & I is hosting the event, but we are not determining who is actually participating. I would reach out to Debra Linick (dlinick@jcouncil.org) to inquire about being included.
Thanks,
Hannah

Racked by James O’Keefe’s video exposing NPR fundraising executives using anti-Semitism to raise funds from Islamic theocrats, National Public Radio nevertheless found time to join in DC yuppie ‘crats gentrifying displacement of lower and working class black neighborhoods, by moving from 6th and Massachusetts NW to a gleaming new LEED building with 330,000 square feet for its 680 DC (out of a worldwide total of 800 odd) employees.

When almost all of your staff is in one town, can you really say All Things Considered with a straight face?  I guess it depends on what the meaning of “things” is?

Some lecture from the NPR docent in a studio:

NPR collects data on Libertarians on "shutdown;" too lazy to just ask NSA

8 Oct

What is your perspective on the partial government shutdown?

WAMU News is covering the partial government shutdown. As part of our reporting, we’ve been talking to people with a variety of political viewpoints, and we’re interested in hearing from people who associate themselves most closely with the Libertarian Party. If you consider yourself a Libertarian, please fill out this brief form to share your perspective.  Please also feel free to forward this query to anyone else you think would be interested.
As always, we welcome your feedback at insight@wamu.org.
Thanks!
