“How many coffee mugs and tote bags is that?”
They’ll have a fund drive every week now.
They’ll have to sell the rights to Big Bird.
For the first witness, we call to the stand, Julian...
Assange....
Da Da DAAAAAAAAAAA
I don't know about that. WQED, the local npr station here in Pittsburgh has a great big building right in our high-rent "Cultural District."
I suspect they pay little or no property taxes.
LOL! I remember when PBS used to be cool and you could get a Month Python bathing tie and handkerchief album for donating ten bucks. Buncha tw*t-struddels now.
I would like to have NPR liberal news become a thing of the past. If they stick to kids shows, Dr Who, Masterpiece Theater and Antiques Road Show i don’t have to big of a problem with federal funding, but otherwise shut them down and give the bandwidth to a commercial network.
“They’ll have to sell the rights to Big Bird.”
They ought to anyway. Their idea of Big Bird is a giant middle finger.
The only time that NPR ever told the truth and they get sued. Wow. Just waiting for the truth to come out.
I enjoy Road Sow, too.
I’ve read the comments through #29.
Without going back and counting, it seems that over a half of the comments are referring to PBS instead of NPR.
Folks... NPR is radio. PBS is TV.
If successful, NPR would just give them taxpayer money that they get every year and then go back to Congress to get more.
Stop funding/subsidizing NPR and PBS with taxpayer money!

Nice jokes on this, but the bottom line is the law says: Thou cannot defame (slander, libel) a dead person.
All they can go on is intentional infliction of emotional distress on “the family” and they are too indirect to be actionable parties. No proof that anyone gave a hoot about the family, let alone maliciously targeted them.
This suit is a joke.
Wait, wait,don’t tell me. Is that the place where all things are considered?
They’re probably leasing it out, and as a non-profit, with virtually zero taxes.
I don’t even pretend to know the tax code portion which applies to that situation, on how they can purchase such a massive entity, in the first place.
Any tax attys are welcome to chip-in to clarify all this mess.
