Don't Let the Door Hit Ya': NPR Editor-In-Chief Resigns After Recission Funding Cuts

And the wins just keep on comin'!

It's barely been a few days since Congress passed President Trump's recession package that stripped funding for PBS and NPR, and we're already starting to see many fringe benefits.

No, we're not talking about the schadenfreude benefits like leftists throwing hissy fits about the funding cuts (though those are just fun on a bun, too); we're talking about tangible benefits.

Such as the rats leaving NPR's sinking ship.

BREAKING: Edith Chapin, the Editor in Chief of NPR, to RESIGN after Congress voted to cut their funding.

Well ... bye.

Arrivederci.

Sayonara.

Auf Wiedersehen.

And don't come back.

According to NPR, which is not even remotely a reliable source anymore, Chapin said that her departure was not due to Congressional action; she just wanted to 'take a break.'

Chapin says the choice was hers and not driven by the action in Congress. In a brief interview, she says she surprised NPR CEO Katherine Maher with her decision two weeks ago.
'I have had two big executive jobs for two years, and I want to take a break. I want to make sure my performance is always top-notch for the company,' Chapin says. She says she expects to stay at NPR until September or October.

'Top-notch performance.' That's funny. Funnier than anything Stephen Colbert has said in years.

And the timing of her 'break' sure seems convenient, doesn't it?

NPR’s Edith Chapin was making a bloated $308,000 a year, I’m sure the coming cuts have a thing to do with her resignation pic.twitter.com/Zfvoqd7Mtz

Hmm. We wonder if that factored into her 'needing a break.'

Perhaps if she had led an un-biased NPR, it wouldn't have needed to be cut. I quit listening years ago. Even asked a hair salon to turn it off while having my hair washed, cut, and styled so the filth and lies didn't have to be listened to. We aren't as gullible as they believe. https://t.co/WYRMgCKwCR

Forget the hair salon.

Playing NPR would probably be considered cruel and unusual for detainees at Alligator Alcatraz.

We'll insert the obligatory follow-up, '... to bad rubbish.'

more time to quilt and go door to door to give rural Americans weather updates

HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA.

Whatever will all of those rural rubes do without NPR's important weather reports?

The grift is up. That why she is leaving.

Because they won't be able to pay her salary? https://t.co/AFIXS4LdPZ

We're calling a great big 'BINGO!' on both of those posts.

But it's not all bad for Chapin. If she is looking for a job that matches her qualifications, we know a certain former McDonald's employee who could write her a recommendation.

LOL.

There it is.

But that's probably not fair to McDonald's employees. We doubt she could even operate the Fry-O-Lator without setting the place on fire.

We don't expect Edith Chapin's resignation to fix NPR, not even a little bit. After all, Maher is still running the place (for now, anyway).

But a win is a win, and we'll keep applauding them as often as they keep coming in.
