About five years ago....someone wrote up a piece on the salary structure of the NPR hosts. It shocked me that they were paying $250,000 to $350,000 for at least a dozen employees. They probably had at least fifty people making $100,000 or more a year within the structure.
Not excusing the hideous waste of taxpayer dollars at all; but if you are going to fund something like NPR in the DC area, well, $100K employee and you have to share an apartment in Northern Virginia...
So...even more of an argument that this stuff needs to go.
Hey - if the country had no debt and a balanced budget, have at it. But this stuff is a luxury. A luxury we can’t afford.
I read this from another poster on another site, which, if true, tells us that President Trump had better use every means under his control to go directly to the people with his messages. Here goes.
“There are 1500 newspapers, 1100 magazines, 9000 radio stations, 1500 TV stations, 2400 publishers, all owned by just 6 corporations and 272 executives controlling what people see, hear and read.”
If true, this nation is in dire trouble with the lies and fake analysis being spewed by the majority of these entities each and every day. Their power to do that must be broken. They must not be protected by law to put out to the masses what they want the people to believe whether or not it is true.
