It’s time to investigate every tax exempt political action organization in the US! I see estimates that NPR actually receives ~ 15% of its operating revenue from the Fed’s theft of taxpayer dollars but another 25% comes from their pitiful whining to the listening base. If 1/2 the listeners + the 15% from the taxpayer thievery were to disappear they would lose ~ 30%....but if NPR & PBS lose their tax exemption status also they would likely find themselves out of business.

It's the donations we have to go after next. At the moment donations are tax exempt for the donors.

Those donations should no more be tax exempt than donations to Bob Jones University, or the Republican party, or to the Washington Post!

exactly! If the foundations that provide a huge part of their funding couldn't claim a tax deduction, they might not give at all. Their contribution is probably much greater than direct taxpayer funds.
