You're wrong. The government has no business disseminating news. That's the conservative opposition to NPR.
What happened to the Left in this nation? Used to none of you would accept anything from the government. Now, you implicitly trust the government with news, with healthcare, with managing your daily lives.
Can you back that up with a link?
Oh, shit - I just realized who I was asking.Never mind.
Indeed we can, you nattering nabob of nonsense.

Most of their funding comes from private donations and philanthropics.
They still receive 16% of their funding from the federal government - with another 14% from universities (which largely feed from the public trough).
If there programming is so valuable, they should be able to exist with no taxpayer support.
It's also important to note that the Kroc estate avoided an enormous amount of estate taxes by making contributions to NPR.

And I thought that avoiding estate taxes was a good thing? Not if you are a Liberal, right?
That's because liberals have screwed up public education.Conservatives do not believe in public education. They believe in hom skooling.Public education.Why is it that so many conservatives do not know how to spell?
They do, but you have to make a deliberate effort to ignore it when they spell something wrong.Liberals spell just fine.

Which premise? That Righties are ignorant? Read this thread!
From what I've seen, yes, he has reason to demand the government live his life for him.If government's paying part of the bill, government has a say.Can you back that up with a link?
Oh, shit - I just realized who I was asking.
Why do you have such a blind trust of government?
Easy. He lacks confidence in his own abilities, likely for very good reasons.

Say, maybe you could get that fuckhead from Breitphart.com to help create some lying bullshit propaganda (you know some selectively cut video clips that makes it look like NPR worships the devil) that all the connies would buy into too?
Personally I think the FCC should revoke the Faux News license to broadcast.
On what grounds? That you don't like them?
Troll.
I haven't watched any cable or network news for about 10 years now but occasionally flip through the radio channels on the way to work and back. NPR usually just sounds like a big circle jerk. That's why I stick to their science stuff on PBS.

She did, but I managed to learn how to think for myself anyway. You can tell because I'm not a liberal.Then pay for it your own self.Taxpayer funding is only a very small percentage of NPR's operating budget, Tommy Boy.
So sorry that you won't be able to shut up the voices of progress.
At least you acknowledge NPR's progressive bent...and the fact that it can't succeed without being forced on America by the government.
Progress is not the same as the political label of Progressive.
Tell your mom she should have sent you to public school!
Odd, then, that NPR says there is.Looks like you missed that bus - Blind Boo has already showed that there isn't taxpayer funding.Taxpayer funding is only a very small percentage of NPR's operating budget, Tommy Boy.
So sorry that you won't be able to shut up the voices of progress.
Miss the bus again?
Any percentage of taxpayer funding is too much.
To those unwilling to acknowledge any other point of view, yes.NPR & PBS have been pushing Liberal/Democrat propaganda for many years. I can't think of any Conservatives who are on NPR. All of their hosts are far Left-leaning. I will support their defunding unless i see some major changes. NPR needs to add some Conservatives or they should no longer receive Taxpayer Dollars. The last straw for me was when they took all that cash from George Soros and then fired Juan Williams. They're a sham at this point.
Truth and facts and reality ALL have a Liberal bias, yes.
Oh, they'll take their balls - they're teabaggers!Yep auction off their public licenses to other media outlets. That'll teach um to be fairly-one-sided huh?
"I said it before, but Ill say it again: NPR receives no direct funding from the federal government for operations. Here is a breakdown of NPRs funding sources"

Oh great, now they're going to take their ball and go home. Hahahahaha.

You support a station that only exists because the public coffers prop them up and say the Right is ignorant? NPR has what, 10 listeners?
Who's ignorant?

Lets not forget the 49% subsidies through tax breaks. Sounds like its close to a 100% taxpayer funded.
