“Death blow” is not the point. The point is that no taxpayer should be having to pay for this propaganda involuntarily. Let NPR complete with everyone else. If it survives, so be it. If it doesn’t, such is the way of the world. It is a free country. NPR will be just fine without an annual federal/state donation.
They never should have got taxpayer money in the first place. They get plenty of donations from the public, the federal funds are just gravey, slush money etc. Some do-good liberal got the funding passed because it felt good, like the funding for the arts, some do-good liberal felt that a bottle of p-ss is art. Wake up people, there’s a bad recession happening.
How much of the CPB slice (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) is Federal funds?
