1) Don’t celebrate too very much. Most companies are slashing. It’s not just them. This doesn’t reflect go woke, go broke. They would be getting hit if they were hardcore conservative, too.

2) The problem is not their bias. The problem is their location. They live in and around DC and that’s a blue area. THIS is the problem. Their philosophy derives from very objective judgement of what they see around them, which is blue.

3) You want balance? DRAIN THE SWAMP. Don’t watch any MSM that is based in LA, NYC, DC — and that’s all of them. And btw, STOP POSTING STORIES FROM THESE OUTLETS. They are farming FR clicks and sending money to the DNC.

Click and clack was the ONLY thing worth listening to on NPR. They’d probably get better ratings if they moved to a different broadcasting venues.

Ugh. I remember touring DC in 2016 (to see the capitol before Killary destroyed it) and boy the tour guides were BRAGGING about the brand new NPR/PBS HQ being built there.

Truth. I loved how they would often skewer leftist idols. Remember their "gayest car" list? LOL! Funny because it was so true.

NPR was solid Democrat, not liberal. If a liberal disagreed with a Democrat, they were treated just like a conservative. During Iran-Contra, they repeated every rumor about supposed arrests that were going around. When allegations were made about Clinton, they said they didn’t spread rumors. When the blue dress came out, they labeled it “salacious” and said they would avoid it.

I knew someone who was a contractor for NPR and they didn’t pay squat.

While tax paying employers are having to layoff people by the thousands. NPR lays off a hundred and it’s “significant.” ROTFL!

NPR and PBS reporting nauseates me. Both of those organization’s employees can burn in Hell.

100 employees is a good start. I’d rather see 100% though

This is a tragedy. NPR always offered CHOICE, and without NPR, my choices are limited.

On a given day, for example, I might want to listen to a panel of 10 lisping homosexuals discuss the "impact" of CO2 on the trans and nonbinary community of Brattleboro, Vermont,

Or I might want to listen to a panel of only 5 vegan lesbians talking about how they feel about whether I might be appropriating their culture.

(The lesbians are the ones on NPR who don't have lisps.)

So, without these media choices paid for principally by my tax dollars,

and without "anything else to do" apparently other than give the most valuable frequencies and FCC licenses in America to this monoculture of hard leftists,

I sort of feel we're lost as a nation.

Do we have a CHOICE as to whether or not we want our tax dollars ( taken from us under the barrel of a gun ) to be used to fund them?

100 layoffs sounds like a good start.

The low end of the FM dial is the most valuable? I hadn’t realized that.

Antiques Roadshow is good—but I miss the brothers who were so entertaining.

Also—Keeping Up Appearances is funny-—

I miss As time Goes By

I was shocked to hear they only have 700 employees.
They way they talk, you would think it was 10,000

Oh yeah, Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, a.k.a. Tom and Ray Magliozzi. The show was called Car Talk.

Used to listen to them every Sunday on the way home from Church.

Now they're doing commercials for eBay motors.

Don't drive like my brother! I loved all of the made up names in their closing credits. "Russian Chauffeur - Picov Andropov"
