Been waiting 40+ years to see NPR defunded. Doubt it will happen.
When Car Talk died, that was the end.................
If the police can be defunded, there is a chance NPR can be defunded
It will not be simple or easy. I’ve tried to get the straight skinny on its financing before, and it is a tangled web.

Agreed
I remember that this was promised when the GOP took over the House and Senate in 1994.
I agree. The financial plug should have been pulled decades ago.
No justification for government financing of radio, tv or internet.
These are all self supporting businesses.
yup....any day now....any day....
Yep, no wonder I'm jaded. Hoping for government action and accountability and fiscal restraint is a waste of time.
Nothing will happen. This is the same old thing, the repubs will back down when the soccer moms and their pampered brood start complaining about the big bad orange guy wanting to take away elmo and big bird. Same thing as when Romney was running for president.
