After Bigoted Rant, White House Says NPR Deserves an INCREASE in Funding

 

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR, was appropriated $420 million for fiscal year 2010. Obama wants to increase CPB's funding to $451 million in his latest budget. With a $14 trillion deficit, and on the heels of NPR senior executive Ron Schiller being fired for a bigoted rant about conservatives and Jews, White House press secretary Jay Carney defended the increase in NPR funding as a "worthwhile" and "important priority" for President Obama.

What do you think?
