Well, maybe the conservatives are trying to play catchup with their
wildly successful liberal competition on NPR.

If NMPR is so successful, why is it that they need government funding for
100% of their operation? Contrast that to conservative talk radio, which
barely has enough time to fit in all the interested advertisers.


The government provides way less than half of NPR funding.


The government provides way less than zero conservative talk radio funding.


That's not exactly true. Government largesse works in mysterious
ways.

Here's a civics lesson for you:

Advertising supported media is not free to tell you what you need to
hear. Too much conflict of interest.
