That would be nice but in the real world

Typically, NPR member stations raise funds through on-air pledge drives, corporate underwriting, and grants from state governments, universities, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In 2009, member stations derived 6% of their revenue from local funding and 10% of their revenue from the federal funding in the form of CPB grants


If they were not funded on the taxpayer dime of course Libertarians would say it's a private corporation free to do as it will but NPR isn't private. Suppose government funding both local and federal went to FOX in an equal amount?
