KPFK which is a Pacifica station gets no tax $$$. They are far left and founded in the 30's by pacifists. In the 60's and later they were extremely liberal. Some would claim that they were to the left of the Communists. They've moved a little to the right in recent years. Now Bernie Saunders is moderate and not a conservative.

If you aren't in LA they have a number of stations around the US. KPFA in San Francisco, WBAI in New York. I don't remember the other stations in DC and Houston. You can listen to them on the internet. Go to Pacfica.org and then to the individual station.

I disagree with them on most issues, but I do listen to them. Be prepared to be shocked.

They do receive tax dollars. They are partially funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Yuck, you have a strong stomach. I could never tolerate hate radio! I know KPFA; my mother listens to it constantly and believes every word of it.

Houston station is KPFT 90.1 right between KSBJ 89.3(Contemp. Christian) and KJIC 90.5 (Traditional Gospel). It is hard to listen to.

Easy to see that Pacifica recieved about $1.3 million of your tax dollars from the CPB. Check out the Pacifica web site (go to page 13 of this pdf file) go to page 13

If you have time, you can go to the CPB page and cross reference this.
