The public-broadcasting-insider newspaper Current passed along a survey from The Chronicle of Philanthropy on executive compensation at large nonprofits in 2008. The salaries can be higher than the current presidential salary of $400,000 (and the current congressional salary of $174,000). The list includes national executives and leaders at large stations like WNET (New York), WETA (Washington), WTTW (Chicago), and KCET (Los Angeles.)

No government owned business should have CEO’s making more than the President. Not NPR, not the Post Office, etc.

The whole concept of ‘non profits’ is a scam. They don’t do anything productive but manage to guilt people into parting with their money. Just follow the money. Money never lies.

In NPR currency, that would be equal to 26,000 tote bags.

Here's the support given to the 1.3 mil claim:

Former NPR C.E.O. Kenneth Stern, who departed in 2008, is atop the pubcasting list, receiving $1,319,541 as part of his four-year contract...

To me that says 1.3 mil divided over 4 years, not per year.

The headline is the only place I see this claim made.

I despise NPR with a passion. But I don't want us to wind up with egg on our faces.

Half the day’s programming is cartoons.

Why does the CEO need that kind of money to broadcast CARTOONS????? They are very heavily slanted toward social engineering, also.

Defund NPR now!

Newt Gingrich and the boys made an attempt to defund NPR and PBS in the mid-90’s. PBS responded by putting Big Bird on the air to cry. And the rest, as they say, is history.

You’re confusing NPR with PBS...I see your point though.
