All public broadcasting. It’s nothing more than a liberal propaganda machine.

Most of NPR’s money doesn’t come from the government, anyway.

Considering how much they get from corporate grants and listeners, they should be able to do just fine without our money.

How about the Department of Education. Let’s get rid of that one. What a waste...

I agree. Add National Endowment for the Arts and any support for public broadcasting.

Good luck. Repubs have been trying for decades to defund NPR. This was the latest try:

Totalitarian dictatorships like Nazi Germany, Communist China, the Soviet Union and it's heirs seem to require and are certainly characterized by government-run newspapers, radio, television, and a national “arts” machine. Free societies provide better communication and artistic output via the free market.

I'm quite confident that government “workers” employed as a journalists or artists, dancers, musicians, actors, playwrights, poets, etc. by America's Public Broadcasting System, National Council of the Arts, or similar bureaucracies will find useful, rewarding, and remunerative work their chosen fields once these money pits have been closed down. The others may wish to consider alternative careers like landscape maintenance, or other jobs that “Americans won't do”>

I've seen a few signs in the windows of (privately owned) local restaurants indicating employment opportunities.

I totally agree. There is SO much that needs abolishing and eliminating.

How much of their funding comes from the government these days?

For any other faults they may have, no other radio stations do nearly as well with music as NPR.
