NPR is pure left wing propaganda and political lies.

All federal funding to NPR should be stopped instantly. When they can be nonpartisan then funding should be restored but they should be constantly monitored for neutrality.

That’s fine. Let the idiots pay for Marxist propaganda. Just don’t allow our taxes to fund it.

Since NPR serves as a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, it should get no taxpayer funding. Or at least there should be a box on the IRS 1040 form where you can opt out of supporting it, like with campaign financing.
