OOOOOH, I AM SORRY, I SAID "CHRISTMAS"

NPR reporter Nina Totenberg 

openly apologized for using the phrase 

”Christmas party”

Well, these agencies, including the Defense Department, don‘t know how much money they’ve got and for what. And I was at – forgive the expression – a Christmas party at the Department of Justice and people actually were really worried about this.

Comedic Double take at NPR

NPR spokeswoman Anna Christopher tells NRO in a statement: “Today, good judgment prevailed as Congress rejected a move to assert government control over the content of news.”
And how did the "brave" Congress do that? By continuing government payments to support National Public Radio.
So let me get this straight. By the government paying for "Public Radio", the government has no control.And if the government didn't pay, the government would have control?

Marie Dresler has the same reaction to Jean Harlow, as most Americans have towards Anna Christopher's comment.

Fishy Thought

FishyMike wonders...
I wonder if it was smart of NPR to–12 days out from an election where leftism is headed for a defeat of rejection–re-inforce the perception that both liberalism and the media are out of control; that they have utterly cast off their former roles as champions of free speech and free thought, in favor of compulsory conformity.
