Attica Locke is a bigot.
On January 21, 2017 I want these sniveling treasonous arrogant slimebalms defunded once and for all!
Unfortunately my spouse listens to this drivel, and I’ve had to put up with hearing countless anti-Trump distortions and lies all the while knowing my tax dollars were helping to pay for it.
Looks like you’ll have to sell a few more tote-bags, NPR weasels!
To the author: I don’t take issue with your color as much as your stupidity.
Defund NPR.
I was listening to NPR election news and actually heard this exchange. Attica is a woman and a nutjob. She was getting worked up to even more vitriol when David Green cut her off saying “sorry we’re out of time”.
So Attica was making even NPR uncomfortable with her racist spew.
Defund NPR and give Sesame Street to the highest bidder.
This is a large issue. Many reasonable people only listen to NPR and MSNBC. Those two channels have been telling the world that Americans, Trump supporters, whites, republicans, southerners, mid-westerners, and people who do not live in big cities, are all racists, stupid and uneducated.
These people don’t get outside their own bubbles. If they would read press from other countries or Fox or local papers, they would get another point of view. We should all worry about becoming like them. We should know the other side. And we should be open minded enough to identify when they really do have a good point, as rare as it is.

If only. The word "racist" has been rendered meaningless by Progs who overuse and misapply it. They can kiss my "white-privileged" a--.
The notion and meme that 0bama's subversive Presidency has been "poisoned" by Whitey is designed to be energizing fodder for "poisoning" and sabotaging Trump's Presidency as retribution and revenge. We now live in VERY dangerous times.
NPR needs to be de-funded of ALL government support and declared a hate group by conservative pro-America versions of the SPLC and ACLU.
sesame street is where the indoctrination begins - destroy it.
I also take exception to his bigotry which has become acceptable when directed at those who are "melanin challenged".
defund NPR
That taxpayer funding comes from the parent corporation, the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, which is totally funded by the Federal government and state and local governments. The first thing I noticed is the difficulty to get figures in dollars of their government support. I get NPR pie charts like below:
After more digging, I did get the dollar amounts from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting:
:
You can find the above pie chart here:

Mark Browning, at The American Thinker, calculated NPRs taxpayer subsidy numbers based on figures publicly available on NPRs own website. Here is his piece in American Thinker:
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2010/10/how_public_is_nprs_funding.html
Browning estimates that NPRs 900 member stations receive approximately 41 percent of their funding directly or indirectly from taxpayers, primarily through tax deductions, grants from government-funded universities and direct grants by federal, state and local governments.
NPR receives $180 million each year in funding. Forty one percent of that funding represents $73 million from taxpayers. From the above colorful pie chart, $73 million seems low. How much tax payer money is being diverted to NPR remains an question to be left up to the money experts. From what I see above, it is $99.12 million ($69.30 million + $22.83 million + $6.99 million = $99.12 million).
Finally, much of that taxpayer money is given to Democrats to finance their elections. It is a payoff scheme to insure further government funding using the usual shell game to hide the pea.
I voted for, and worked for, Alan Keyes. I sent money to Herman Cain and Dr. Ben Carson, and was prepared to vote for them as well until they dropped out of the race.
The only opportunity I passed up was to vote for the current resident of the WH.
Guess 3 out of 4 doesn’t matter.
These numbskulls just keep repeating this crap about “white America not being comfortable with a black president,” as if saying it makes it true.
The same middle America that elected Trump needs to lift its voice over and over to state the opposite and the obvious.
Evening Morgana,
Here’s hoping President Trump stops public funding for npr.
Defund NPR, ASAFP.
Indeed you are correct. Methinks the self-correct took charge when I typed irrelevant.
And indeed, you are correct that they are expensive. As you probably agree, if they cannot pay for themselves, they should not exist at all.
Interesting and very informative. Thanks.
