Even though Congress established it, and it has always relied in part on taxpayer funding, NPR makes no secret about its political biases: It is a mouthpiece of the Democrat party and accepts unquestioningly all aspects of leftist ideology. That’s why it was wonderful to read that NPR is facing a significant budget decline and has laid off 100 people.

Rick Steves should bail them out.

Die, NPR, DIE!

A Republican Congress cannot be taken seriously as long as it continues to fund NPR and PBS.

I like good news!   :-)

There was a brief time when NPR tried to become more balanced right after Newt took over the House and threatened to zero out the CPB budget, but it didn't last very long.

In the pre-internet days I'd listen to NPR Morning Edition in the AM, Rush at Noon, and G.Gordon Liddy in the PM. I like to have all sides of an issue. Back then NPR was left leaning, but not openly hostile to conservative views.

I can't stand listening to NPR these days because all of their programs sound like The View in their condemnation of anything even remotely right of "moderate."

When will the Republican House defund NPR?

[albie]

Uh oh. Time for a telethon featuring Doris Days Greatest Hits for $1200

Maybe they’ll go bankrupt and apply for foodstamps - so we can all have a good laugh.

My comment from a previous thread on this:

I guess they figured out they didn’t have room enough for everyone at their new $200 MILLION headquarters. (Thanks, sucker taxpayers!)

“NPR previously froze new hiring and made $20 million in budget cuts in November 2022”

Hey, IF we could get the rest of the Federal Govt to do this, it would be a good start.

Speaker McCarthy, Let’s help them by removing federal funding. Let them register as a part of the Democrat party who can fund them directly.

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.

[FlingWingFlyer]

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

[vetvetdoug]

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

[nhbob1]

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

Die NPR die!♠️

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.

[Mouton]

100 layoffs sounds like a good start.
