FOX News Corespondent Mara Liasson Does Hit-Piece On VP Biden For NPR.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103887241

Included in the piece is "the press" reacting to the "flu flap"- a series of sound bites ALL from the FOX network.

Please write NPR about your disdain of Mara trivialization of Biden's important position and the great works he is doing now and will do in the future.

Ask that NPR refer to Mara Liasson as "FOX News Corespondent" as that is what her real job is.

1. She has been a completely transparent GOP shill for years now. We turn her off
when her reports come on NPR radio.

4. Meanwhile, Joe the Hottness does his "I'm so scared!" face...


And maybe, if he's lucky, if he gets enough bad press, he'll get another trip to the burger joint. :)

Give me an objective view, and let me think for myself.

11. BushCo funding put alot of GOP operatives in NPR leadership during the last 8 years.
This is only one example of their Faux influence; there have been many.

12. NPR Morning Edition
wakes me every weekday morning. Even though they have a membership drive going on right now, I will not contribute because of Ms. Liasson. She spins rather than reports. As long as she's on there, I will listen for free.

16. God damn NPR! Where the hell do they get off telling the truth in an objective fashion???!!!111
Just listened to the "hit piece" in question. Fluff, maybe -- but a clear absence of hit.

Much ado about absolutely nothing. As usual at DU when it comes to NPR.
