Linda W.'s story this morning did not mention Paul at all (unless I missed something).

She did broadcast these listener reactions:

A women thought that Romney looked presidential and she could imagine him meeting world leaders.

Another woman said that Iowa's ice storms prove that global warming is true.

im disappointed in NPR - Im an avid listener, and they rarelyyy talk about Ron Paul, if at all. Last night on "On Point" with Tom Ashbrook, they had a whole hour dedicated to Huckabee

NPR has spent more time with CFR than Ron Paul from what I have heard lately. I used to be a major donor. Now I don't even listen.

NPR is looking out for its own self interests. Do you think the National Endowment of the Arts (which partially funds NPR) would survive during Ron Paul's tenure? I'd hope that the government gets out of the business of the arts. It's not exactly enumerated in the Constitution.

People misuse and misquote the "arts" phrase by ignoring that the word appears only to explain the very specific copyright/patent mandate:

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries"

The npr is funded by major corporations and even oil companies. They are a JOKE and take over the radio dials in small towns that should have their OWN stations.

When NPR is not giving words from its corporate sponsors while claiming to be "commercial-free," it is charging those small, local stations exorbitant prices for its "non-profit" programming.

I was an avid NPR listener for many years, but eventually it began to sound like propaganda. Their neglect of the Ron Paul campaign has completely turned me off to them. I have never been able to tolerate talk radio either. Now I listen to classical music, and I go to the internet for my information.

It's interesting how many times I've heard them open up the lines just to have them flooded with people who support Ron Paul. Of course they have their "experts" on every time to refute whatever an RP supporter says.
