Amen! Even a pro-NPR person ought to see that whatever reason might have justified some gov’t funding over 40 years ago no longer exists. If public radio thinks it can do better as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, that’s fine too, let the market decide.

Why do they introduce a bill like this that Obama can veto? Wouldn't it be better just to zero out any funding in the budget bill?

I listen to NPR just to see what the other side is up to.
They now have an “ad” that states that the “congress is enacting law to defund public radio. Please let your Representative know that you oppose this legislation.
Remember it only costs $1.35 a day per person to listen to all the great programing on you local station etc.etc.etc.

Now is this $1.35 for everyone in the United States or just those who listen to public radio?

I hope they drive this one home.
