CEO John Lansing cited the erosion of advertising dollars, particularly for NPR podcasts, and the tough financial outlook for the media industry more generally.
"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. "This will be a major loss."

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.

NPR and the television arms have become caricatures of leftism.
It is high comedy when a black person is on there explaining “science” and then you find out they are not really a scientist but they are a “science spokesperson”.
You can’t make up this stuff!
