Video behind the link.

So what about NPR? NPR is also extremely biased (hateful, even) and needs to be shut down.

Back the day when there were only a few channels, it had it’s place. Now, with thousands the need for public funding is over. Stay nonprofit or member sponsored, bit make it on your own.

NPR needs to pay its own way. I’m sick of subsidizing lunacy.

Well, except for some of his anti-trump knee-jerk responses to some of the daily news items.

Early in his term, Trump asked Congress to abolish PBS, NPR, APR and NEA. Nothing happened.

The key reason is that the biggest boosters of these organizations are the wives of congressmen and senators. They sit on the boards. Several times a year, the wives and their husbands get dressed up in formal clothes, go to the Kennedy Center for an awards ceremony broadcast on PBS, and signal their virtue. This is why it's going to be difficult to make these organizations go away.

Ya know I just breezed through the title and assumed NPR was in it.

You’re right. It’s THE leader in slanted radio.

It is even worse in Australia with the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). They have many radio and TV stations, and for some unknown reason, partially funded by Australian taxpayers. They are not only biased, they are so far left they are even left of the Labor Party’s views. They are mainly broadcasting the Green Party’s platform.

Well said and very true! There are also the many commie, feminist college and university NPR outlets embedded in the most conservative communities in the U.S.A. They must go! They have been destroying the U.S.A. through the minds of our children for too long.

I cannot listen to NPR radio for 5 minutes before noticing the blatant bias. Why must I support the bias with my taxes? Pull the plug!

I can’t listen to him very often, but I must say I haven’t heard any of his Never-Trump proclamations as of late. But like I said I do not get to listen to hi often enough anymore as I only hear him when I happen to be driving when he is on, which is not very often anymore. 8>)

“Public broadcasters” are supposed to represent ALL the political views in the country, not just the bleeding-heart hate-filled leftist ones ... yet that’s what you got now at the BBC and NPR

No reason the ruling governments should have to put up with being attacked (usually unfairly) daily by the very organizations they’re providing free money to

If they can’t be objective, then they can pay their own damn bills
