This is an old Mantra. Â*Get up to date on NPR funding. Â*Go to:


http://www.npr.org/about/aboutnpr/pu...ofinances.html


Where we read the following, with my added CAPS:


"NPR's revenue comes primarily from fees paid by our member stations,
contributions from corporate sponsors, institutional foundation
grants, gifts from major donors, and fees paid by users of The Public
Radio Satellite System. Â*WE RECEIVE NO DIRECT FEDERAL FUNDING FOR
OPERATIONS. Â*The largest share of NPR's revenue comes from program
fees and station dues paid by member stations that broadcast NPR
programs."


Your post illustrates so much of what is wrong with Wingers. Â*They
rant and rave over subjects about which they know nothing. Â*Zilch.

Oh now you went and confused the idiot with facts.



Speaking about facts and idiots, Timmy farts again.

more than 25% of NPR funds from outside sources actually comes from
taxpayers. That's not an overwhelming portion of the budget, but it's
a long way from two to three percent.
