NPR should be denied public funding from here on.
They should have to make it just like conservative talk radio.
A conservative version of NPR would never be allowed to exist. Just imagine liberal heads exploding at the notion of taxpayer money funding it.
Local stations that pay NPR to carry programming seem less necessary when access is essential free on a phone but if listeners and corporate underwriters want to keep it on (maybe substituting NPR entertainment shows over news) that is their business.
