Sounds like a lot of money to me.
Math is my downfall. What’s the total amount of tax dollars going diectly or indirectly to fund NPR/PBS?
congrats
You have done more “journalism” than the MSM has
President of the Board of Directors: “Dr. Wilson has been a frequent consultant on IT to the World Bank, the UN, USAID, private firms, and has advised governments in Nigeria, the Peoples Republic of China, and South Africa on communications matters. A Fellow of the Center for Global Communications (Japan), he has lectured in France, India, Germany, Malaysia, and the UK. He is a member of the Carnegie-Knight Commission on Journalism. He has appeared on or written for the New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Market Place, ABC, CNN, CNN International, Radio Canada, TPMCafe, and other media.
As I understand it there is also a second fund that pays for equipment and upgrades and stuff. really.
They should be defunded and their Tax Exempt status removed.
Let them then become the Soros Network (That is if Soros can get a license, which I doubt in a GOP majority congress)
Doesn’t it make you feel good that your tax dollars are going to fund such a worthy cause???
How much of the 65 Million is sent from local back to national NPR for programming - fees, etc.?
We know about; The Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae& Freddie Mac and PBS.
How many other PRIVATE CORPORATIONS are funded by the American public?
Repealing these monstrosities should be the first order of business, except that Soros will buy them while they are junk.
