They get very little federal funds. They may not even want the funds and be able to run it like they want. Taking federal funds cord with some rules. They may be better off without the crumbs they get.

I was going to say. During the local fund drives, they seem desperate for money the last few years.

The Truth is “Democrat propaganda”

“All kinds of programs that don’t help the American People”. This is based on MTGs extensive and objective 10 year investigation of NPR programming? NPR offers programs everyday that help the American people. I think it’s quite apparent that MTG doesn’t not listen to NPR and that’s a BFD relative to her warped, skewed, altered, wrong perspective. But you go girl!

Not only did I learn an immense amount about automobiles, I figured out how to understand a Boston accent.

Tom and Ray were awesome, brilliant aiders of Americans. Excellent advice on NPR. I could not listen to them while driving for fear of laughing so hard I’d wreck. MIT wants their diplomas back. Brilliance, education, humor. Kryptonite to trump voters.

Especially when they had their Mother on. I'd love to hear reruns just to hear
their voices & laughter again. It was informational & joyful at the same time!
I tell you, they will be shocked by the uproar if thy come after NPR & /or PBS.

I got three CDs of some of their shows. They never get old.

...

Did anyone consider checking out how many people really like npr? Who the fuck does she think she is?

NPR is not fascist Republican propaganda, which is why you have a problem with it.

Just reminded me to renew my pledge to NPR before “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” did.

(although 'irony' might not be the best descriptor). Is the number of times I have seen NPR derided as 'right-wing sell-out' here on this sight.

Damned if you do, and damned if you ...
And - still not entirely sure ... Does that mean that you might be doing something right - once in a while? Or - just garbage all the way around?

I have been known to refer to NPR as "Nice Polite Republicans."

for both being somewhat sane about it - and at the same time verifying my statement !

Funding pre-2000
edit
During the 1970s and early 1980s, the majority of NPR funding came from the federal government. Steps were taken during the Reagan administration in the 1980s to completely wean NPR from government support, but the 1983 funding crisis forced the network to make immediate changes.

According to CPB, in 2009 11.3% of the aggregate revenues of all public radio broadcasting stations were funded from federal sources, principally through CPB;[46] in 2012 10.9% of the revenues for Public Radio came from federal sources.[47]

...therefore it needs to be "defunded."

to calling him a liar by about 1 yr in or so.

Possibly Kai Wright (weekend show, now national) as well.

Pretty sure some other local Piblic Radio talkers did the same.

The flagship programs Morning Edition & ATC were the ones that consistently downplayed his bullshit, with NPR's ombudsman famously performing all kinds of acrobatics to explain why Trump's obvious lies weren't actually obvious lies. (Spoiler alert: "because he believes them.&quot

...oh the propaganda!

Asking for a friend.

It's called "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood." It's animated. The production company Fred Rogers founded makes it. It teaches kids the same lessons Fred did, and it is REALLY cute. Daniel is part of a family of tigers in which Dad Tiger dresses just like Fred Rogers did. The first time I saw this was in the Spokane VA waiting room; they had the TV set to it and the parallels to "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" are quite obvious.

and loud--wow, I sound old. But Mr. Rogers was special. And he actually appeared before Congress May 1, 1969 to defend public television, when gov't. was looking into cutting out funding for it.

I thought it would be the first week. Very surprised PBS isn't in her sights also - maybe she has that channel blocked? Or more likely she can't figure out how to use that complicated remote.

She may just trigger NPR's greatest fundraising ever.

We're the Democratic Party. They are such a butt sniffer.

Treating Repuke gaslighting with deference and respect. Repukes don't like it because it's not servile ENOUGH.

Plus those weekend shows? The Moth? Livewire? What are they even about? They confuse my tiny Repuke brain.

Like in Russia, China, etc.

Ambition to become a dictator of her newly appointed position.

Ugh.

already eliminated their funding for the national public media. I don't think they get very much from the federal government anymore.

and replacing the BBG with iconoclasts, Islamophobes, and Russophiles.

The mission of United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. The Agency’s mission is reinforced by those of the individual broadcasters (VOA, RFE/RL, RFA) that are overseen by USAGM.

The Democratic Party’s ass, it deserves to be defunded. Nice way to do MTG’s work for her, folks. I knew she could count on you.
