Don’t change NPR; SHUT IT DOWN! (sorry for the caps)
You’d be asking for a firestorm with heavy handed tactics. OTH, they could be subjected to audits, somewhat like what Newsbusters does “91% of Media stories hostile to Trump” that ratchet their fundings. There is no reason for the taxpayers to support an unfair media operation trying to do 31 states wrong.
I have always considered the neutralization of NPR’s bias to be a benchmark of true change.
No Republican administration ever does.
Time tomshut it down.
They need to be 0% political or shut down.
Monday: shut down NPR.
Tuesday: shut down Dept of Ed.
Wednesday: Shut down the UN.
Thursday: Shut down Obamakare.
This guy is right. Democrats are mean. They will boycott your business. They will make sure that nobody associates with you. You will not be promoted or asked to join or invited. Its a mean crowd. And they say its ok because Republicans are mean. And they get that by finding one case somewhere and exploiting it as though it happens in every neighborhood every day in this country. NPR is nothing but well produced soft propaganda.
Shut! It! Down!
No need to shut it down. Just make it private. No more taxpayer subsidy. C-SPAN makes it on its own, PBS and NPR can too.
DEFUND socialist/totalitarian collectives, foreign and domestic,.
Thought: Time to set up a separate broadcast operation highlighting freedom, democratic and free-market values and opposing the Marxist doctrines that have taken over at NPR.
Funds could be split with NPR.
They can remain, as long as no taxpayer money goes to them.
NPR should be defunded, as with PBS. This ain’t the 1950’s anymore.
My vote is for Shut It Down ! It’s propaganda and we have to get rid of as much propaganda as we can for the sake of our children. Then we can start on cleaning up the schools by doing away with the Department of Education.
They do not represent the whole country. Not even close.
Rehm Show features the same pool of 20 well-connected libtards, and it gave a real sense of how arrogant and bubbled they all were. More specifically we were able to share some of their persuasions: which #wikileaks they were most concerned with; which wedge issues played best to alienate Bernie Bros; the surprising libtard anathema towards the potential Cankles' pardon-thyself #ConstitutionalCrisis, like waving a cross at a vampire; their serial wasting of valuable airtime on Trump's discredited accusers.
It wasn't just limited to Rehm. All Things Considered repeatedly sent audio voyeurs into OH and PA to make fun of Trump supporters.
Taken from NPR website;;;;;;note the last sentence..PULL FEDERAL FUNDING!!!!!
Public Radio and Federal Funding
Stations receive support from many sources, including:
listener contributions,
corporate sponsorship,
in-kind and direct support from universities (when licensed to a college or university),
foundation grants and major gifts,
grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
in some cases, state and local governments
Federal funding is essential to public radio’s service to the American public. Its continuation is critical for both stations and program producers, including NPR.
Public radio stations receive annual grants directly from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) that make up an important part of a diverse revenue mix that includes listener support, corporate sponsorship and grants. Stations, in turn, draw on this mix of public and privately sourced revenue to pay NPR and other public radio producers for their programming.
These station programming fees comprise a significant portion of NPR’s largest source of revenue. The loss of federal funding would undermine the stations’ ability to pay NPR for programming, thereby weakening the institution.
Elimination of federal funding would result in fewer programs, less journalism—especially local journalism—and eventually the loss of public radio stations, particularly in rural and economically distressed communities.
Subsidy should be cut off.
Until then at least impose the “fairness doctrine” on it.
It’s a government organ unprotected by First Amendment.
Sometimes freedom of speech can carry with it freedom of stupidity.

They are so incredibly smug.
