I don’t know how many times I need to say it. I don’t care if rural areas get funding cut off. **** them.
NPR Still Hasn't Learned Its Lesson

I have developed a unique three step program to solve this problem.Do you have things you love to hate? NPR is one of those for me. During my afternoon errands, I tuned in to NPR now that Rush Limbaugh is gone.
Observations:
1) Three times an hour, they ***** about their rescinded government funding and appeal for donations. One would assume if their leftwing propaganda is that much in demand, they wouldn't have to beg every 20 minutes.
2) They cover the same four stories all the time: 1) War in Gaza 2) Climate change. 3) Immigration ICE abuse and 4) some feminist heroine profile. Their segments always take the leftwing position and have some down-and-out victim with a sob story. And always, always, always, Trump is to blame. They will also sprinkle in stories of the day. Today, it was the fired CDC director Susan Monrarez. (Trump is anti-science) and the firedFed governor Lisa Cook (Trump is a racist. Trump seeking retribution). The possibility of Cook actually committing a crime was never addressed. Also thrown in was the DC takeover. (DC doesn't need it. Trump is Hitler). Also discussed was the Catholic School shooting. (Troubled person who acted alone). The trans issue is mentioned only in context conservatives' hateful reaction to it. No, it could not possibly be related to the crime
3) They have panels to discuss these issues. Always a journalist from the Atlantic, New York Times or Huffington Post; and someone from academia; a Harvard or Columbia professor Not one voice on the panel even close to conservative. And yet the CEO Katharine Maher claims 100% objectivity: "For decades, NPR clung to the fiction that it is committed to serving Americans across the political spectrum.” She said it with a straight face.
4) It is clear NPR has not learned its lesson. It is still outrageously leftwing. Nothing even close to objective. Same tired stories. Same tired format. Nothing to merit government funding ever again. Donation pitch "Please help us continue to present the programming people need." Nobody needs that Marxist claptrap.
NPR should take a page from CNN. CNN was smart enough to hire conservative Scott Jennings as a political analyst. Because of him, I switch over to CNN's Laura Coates show when Gutfeld's show comes on. Jennings is so good and so quick, he annihilates the mouthy black leftwing women who talk over him. He gets his jabs in and totally dominates.
NPR shows it hasn't learned its lesson

Step 1... I turn off NPR.
Step 2... I never turn them on again.
Step 3... I forget NPR exists.
I have resigned myself to only interact with crazed leftwing spewers of Democrat propaganda here on USMB, where I can transmit my reactions real-time.

We'll be fine. We are the one who don't want the government to fund leftist propaganda. Thanks for thinking of us though.
To return the favor, we're going to get crime, homicides and gang activity under control in your urban communities. We also like helping.

Don't watch them either. Once your spoiled by entertainment with limited commercials, it's almost impossible to go back.

Please. It was a spoon fed talking point provided to you in an attempt to save the funding for left-wing propaganda at taxpayer expense.
You fool zero conservatives with your crocodile tears for rural America. VVV

Even when they had the funding they begged because they were just laundering the funding directly to the democrats. Nothing has changed re: their fiscal operations.

You don't find many liberals in rural areas. Those people have to work for a living.
I haven't listened much to NPR since I retired 8 years ago and the daily commute ended. Wouldn't be fair for me to judge them now. I do find all radio news too repetitive. Luckily apps like Android Auto have broken the reliance on radio for many of us. With all we have going for us these days in terms of alternatives, I don't have reason to harp on the media.
Not sure how many times I have to explain I could care less about funding rural access. NPR will be fine. Hicks probably don’t need radio or hospitals or access to the internet. Overrated.

I would like the Rural Areas to stop feeding the stinkin' City dwellers
For sure if NPR was providing popular and effective programming, they would not need to beg for contributions to cover the 1%????? they were getting from the federal government.Do you have things you love to hate? NPR is one of those for me. During my afternoon errands, I tuned in to NPR now that Rush Limbaugh is gone.

Local stations get money from the CPB but NPR not so much.

My Dude, this is not news.
We knew you didn't give a shit by July, 2019.
That's the point.
What Citygator cares about?
Government funding for NPR.
What Citygator never cared about?
Rural Americans.
WE DONT CARE. Urban areas and blue states have all the money and keep those red shitholes fed by giving them all the welfare farmers and poor people get. No one would benefit more from ending welfare than blue states. DO IT. I dare you.
Agree
**** off. As the rural morons vote to be used and screwed by elite republicans I lost all respect for their ability to function. Now I refuse to sit around and feel bad for people who kick themselves in the balls as hard as they can. It is absolutely entertaining though. Nothing more funny than groin kicks. Keep me laughing rurals.
There is no point. The red states want to cut off their nose to spite their face. **** them.
Strong capitalism with some minor regulation to keep it from going amuck so that the economy can continue to keep me doing well. I now love the GOP as it continues to keep my taxes low at the expense of their rube base. I have no issues being treated better than I think I should be. Keep it raining tax cuts you righty geniuses!
We established the NPR needs no funding. It is self sufficient. Keep up genius. Why I dont care about NPR funding is that most of public funding goes to stations to provide access to underserved areas. I dont care about underserved areas because they dont care about themselves.
You have zero idea what you are talking about. We established I voted for favorable policies for those rural areas they voted against me and won the idea that they need less help. So, who am I to over rule the rural areas on what they need? Less hospitals, less healthcare, less welfare, less services, less infrastructure.... Good for them getting what they voted for!

That’s the funny thing about these morons. Small rural market radio and TV stations are going to be the ones who feel the hit the most; the WNYC’s and WGBH’s of the national have a big enough subscriber base to support them if they step up. All they did was make Possum Hollar more miserable than it already was.
