Finally, some layoffs where layoffs are needed.

[Magnum44]

Many are sad...

[rktman]

Uh, 100% might be better.

[Dilbert San Diego]

NPR is having financial problems? What the heck? Liberalism isn’t popular enough to gain Advertiser support?

[Billthedrill]

people whose skills, spirit and talents help make NPR what it is today...

I think I see the problem here.

LOL..what happened to the $200 million donated 20 years ago by the widow of McDonald’s Ray Kroc?? Pretty sure they spent it on Homos and lesbians hiring thier favorite Homo and lesbo buddies. Nice feather-bed jobs so they can orgy in the confirence rooms. Learn to weld.

[HighSierra5]

Stop funding these Aholes!

[Yo-Yo]

Well, I guess this program isn't made possible by listeners like you...

[SMARTY]

AD revenue??? They take Fed $$$....and they can get ad money TOO??

[Seruzawa]

I read years ago that NPR costs 7 times as much to run as ABC News. Lots and lots of do-nothings at NPR. A real buddy system of tax payer funded no-show jobs.

"When we say we are eliminating filled positions, we are talking about our colleagues - people whose skills, spirit and talents help make NPR what it is today," Lansing wrote in a memo to staff today."

*************

NPR doing exactly the opposite of what they should be doing.

Truthful reporting would be a lot easier to do, which would likely get them more viewers and more advertising. But, being committed to their liberal ideology and agenda is mire important than being successful and keeping their staff employed.

They’re doing exactly what the Biden administration does, which is to do exactly the opposite of what Trump was doing. NPR is doing exactly the opposite of what FOX news does.

[Rummyfan]

CEO John Lansing cited the erosion of advertising dollars, particularly for NPR podcasts, and the tough financial outlook for the media industry more generally.

It's NPR: why does it need advertising dollars?

OTOH, if no one wants to subscribe to their podcasts, that's a good thing.

[G Larry]

If they’d monitized Barney 30 years ago they wouldn’t need taxpayer funding.

[elpadre]

And that’s what needs to happen with the total US government. Maybe start with 5% personnel costs along with 5% cut in operations costs for each of the next five years.
