NPR you suck

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?

We are not talking about local member stations. We are talking about the parent corp, the original government money going to Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Government funding is less than 2% of their revenue.

If you want to cut funding to NPR, I suggest you call the private corporations that support it, such as Bill and Melinda Gates, and Midland, and complain.
