Call the waah-mulance! Someone dared to actually ask questions, after government-funded National Public Radio asked for them! Oh, the horror! NPR asked for questions on Twitter today, using the hashtag #AskNPRIntern.

Other Twitter users swiftly tweeted questions.
What's it like knowing you can't compete with private-sector interns? #AskNPRIntern

Isn't it frustrating how your fellow students don't get that the patriarchy still oppresses gender equality? #AskNPRIntern

#AskNPRIntern If I'm not excruciatingly boring nor wildly liberal, can I still apply?
— Dan Andros (@DanAndros) March 6, 2013
Heh.
But, by “ask,” NPR actually meant “stroke.” Actual questions? They did not suit. Here are some of Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin’s questions that were deemed troll-like by the NPR intern (to be fair, he’s learning well during his internship, isn’t he? Toe that biased line, dude)!
#AskNPRIntern What percent of you are non-liberal?

#AskNPRIntern Hey, remember this?==> http://t.co/iK4ZDT6BFg

How terrifyingly troll-like! The crying started.
#AskNPRIntern Go tell NPR Mom & Dad! RT @danthediverman .@michellemalkin just tried to troll the NPR Intern chat. Just wanted to note that.

@danthediverman Pls explain why using a public Twitter hashtag created by government-funded public radio is "trolling." #AskNPRIntern
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 6, 2013
So it seems #AskNPRIntern doesn't want questions from taxpayers critical of NPR. So #DontAskNPRIntern !

#DontAskNPRIntern about that @JamesOKeefeIII video that led to Vivian Schiller's resignation http://t.co/RG5xB2LHNB

And #DontAskNPRIntern about that whole Juan Williams thing http://t.co/PqKdWGDjZz

Ooh, and #DontAskNPRIntern about those NPR clowns who mocked Hostess workers facing job losses – http://t.co/TmbozqeZCQ
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 6, 2013
Boom. Truth is hard for liberals. Another intern weighs in.
@michellemalkin as journalists, we do our best to be unbiased. We'd prefer not to identify with a specific political group/ way of thinking.
— Lizzy Duffy Anderson (@LizzyDuffy) March 6, 2013
@LizzyDuffy Yeah? Did you see this? #AskNPRIntern http://t.co/0c9yNfP2gh
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 6, 2013
Bingo.
@michellemalkin @danthediverman "Trolling" is now a synonym for expressing anything not consistent with the liberal narrative.
— Martel Plieiades ❌ (@MartelPlieiades) March 6, 2013
Precisely. NPR wrapped it up with yet another whine. Only this time, with more passive-aggressive.
That's a wrap for #AskNPRIntern. Thanks to (almost) everyone who joined us today!

Pitiful. But not at all surprising.
