funny, except NPR is tax payer funded. We the People, at gunpoint, are paying this naval gazer to post her communist drool. we are the country our founders fought against.

NPR mostly lives on corporate and foundation money, now, with listener donations. Their government funding has shriveled, quietly. A commenter below notes the importance of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to NPR, and yes. And others.

No doubt they shuffle $$ from other 'sources', like 'NGO's", lots of sophisticated shucking & jiving money laundering & kickback schemes, but they're a tax payer funded Big Gov mouthpiece

It's mostly donor funded, with local stations receiving state taxpayer money depending on which state one lives in and a relatively small amount of federal tax dollars. But, yes, with something this biased and ideological, it would be like the government funding The Blaze or The Daily Wire. NPR needs to stick to art, literature, and wildlife programs.

Defund NPR. I donтАЩt care what they publish as long as taxpayers donтАЩt pay a penny toward it.

The government (our $) funding should be completely ended.
