I hate to see people loose their jobs.

But in this case I might make an exception.

Ray Krok’s wife gave them $200M in 2003. Guess it’s gone.

"...receives about 2% of its annual budget from federal funds"

That's all? Cut them off then- ANYONE can absorb a 2% hit

Wait... they wouldn't be LYING about that, would they?

Unless you’re a communist, they could cut 95% and nobody would notice, or care.

Rush Limbaugh gets about 14 million listeners per week. I’m pretty sure his staff size is nowhere near 875.

“PR, based in Washington DC, receives about 2% of its annual budget from federal funds...”

Been seeing their numbers for years but every time the percentage goes down, they squawk more on how much they need it. Something doesn’t match up. Every time we want to defund NPR/PBS, the left goes as ballistic if we were proposing to put shards of broken glass in the nation’s KY Jelly supply.

Around here almost every car owned by a liberal has a license plate frame advertising the local PBS station, a bumper sticker with the “=” sign, an old 0bama-Biden bumper sticker, and a “Ready for Hillary 2016” bumper sticker. Sometimes I wish I were a seagull so that I could crap all over them.

the irony is that NPR now has less left wing bias than the commercial networks (excl fox)

NPR covered stories this year that that were only later covered or ignored by CBSNBCABCCNN e.g. Delbert Belton murder

Hopefully they will get a free tote and a coffee mug on the way out...paid for with a generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

And from forced contributions from non-viewers like us....Thank you.

And yet they can pay their fired CEO a half million dollar severance.

I'm having Schadenfreude for all of them....

As I recall NPR costs something like 6 or 7 times the amount of money to operate than Fox news, ABC news, CBS news, etc etc. It’s just a corrupt purveyor of anti-freedom lies.

They get 50% of their funding from our tax money. They’d be out of business without it.
