No big worries. They’ve got 89 more, exclusively leftist, editors to call on.

“Chapin told an NPR reporter she quit rather than being fired and that she was not leaving due to the funding cuts.”

RIGHT!

We in rural areas never relied on public radio.

I enjoyed it, but Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, and other shows, including news, have all gone away or are just so sickly partisan that I last listened nearly nine years ago.

Sack up nor, the Red Cross gets ZERO federal funding and look what they’re able to.

I have NO sympathy for these losers.

The federal money was somehow simultaneously a tiny portion of their budget and also crucial to their continued operation.

“would be devastating toward rural communities she said relied on public broadcasting from local affiliates.”

It’s kinda the opposite. I have family who live in very rural areas, and they can’t get ANYTHING, including NPR or PBS. You still have to be “connected” to get that stuff. And if you’re connected to that, then you’re connected to pretty much everything else.

NPR and PBS are so over. They were over 25 years ago, really.

an alleged bias against conservatives

I haven't seen NPR or PBS labelled as "left wing", or "far left", but at least the Demedia hasn't called conservative allegations, "without evidence".

PBS and NPR should have been sued for in-kind campaign donations to the Democrat party.

Used to love PBS and even NPR back when they were normal. Government funding has ruined the programming and turned it into Left Wing propaganda.

Defunding is the way to go. Nobody will listen to their current garbage if it has to be financed by popular support.

I was listening this morning to our local Spectrum news channel in Tampa. They were talking about a $280,000 hit that a local NPR station in Tampa had incurred because of the BBB law.

We usually have our AM radio set to the local Moody Bible Radio station.

Moody has stations across the USA and I really doubt that Moody’s costs for a local station are above $100,000.

I would like to see details about these local NPR stations. My guess is that the NPR stations are over-staffed and the staff is over-paid.

> the radio station lost $500million in federal funding for an alleged bias against conservatives <

I don’t care if NPR is biased or not. Taxpayer money shouldn’t be supporting radio stations. Or pizza parlors. Or whatever. Fund truly essential services only.

Side note to NPR: There are plenty of liberals with plenty of money. So quit yer whining and hold more pledge drives. And maybe have some bake sales, too.
