During the rise of the Tea Party crowd, Congress was always on about death threats but I never heard about anyone being arrested. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always about getting some sympathy from the public and try to restore their constituency. NPR probably suffered a bit in the way of donations and staged this to get their customers to audibly breathe &#8220;Awwww&#8221; and start sending them money again. And maybe some of those Republicans who were calling for the defunding of NPR would feel sorry for them.<\/p>\n<p>Who, besides Williams, would have anything to gain by threatening NPR? No one. And if we&#8217;re all racists anyway, why would we feel the need to commit an act of revenge for Williams? This doesn&#8217;t pass the smell test, and it certainly doesn&#8217;t inspire me to open my wallet for those two-faced &#8220;journalists&#8221; at NPR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Washington Post, NPR received a bomb threat letter on Monday and, of course, &hellip; <a title=\"NPR plays victim\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20979\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">NPR plays victim<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-i-hate-hippies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20979\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
