It doesn't call for NPR to not say something. It doesn't call for
any specific action. It just says "not enable."

<div>I think there two acceptable paths:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) not have someone like Elliott Abrams on as a guest</div>
<div>2) have him on, but have him seriously challenged.</div>

</div>
<div>NPR did neither one.</div>

This would be a good thing to say as part of the text of the
petition. I did sign, but would be happier - and maybe others
would too - with more guidance as to what it means to not be an
enabling news source. (1) + (2) make sense to me.<br>

<div>The BBC, if they were going to do an interview like that,
would have someone who was prepared to really challenge, either
a reporter who was prepared to really challenge, or another
guest who was prepared to really challenge, *at the same time.*
It doesn't undo the damage of a smear to have someone else on at
another time who says something else.<br>

<div>NPR has become a shameful apologist for government
crimes, but the cure for bad speech is more speech, not
less.

The point here is Elliott Abrams, not Chuck
Hagel or Barack Obama. There's nothing in the
petition that says I support Obama or Hagel.
It's all about Elliott Abrams.<br>
