Of note, and as is explained in that site, NPR, Inc. has received no direct operating support from the federal government since 1983.

Of note, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting the shell company that receives the money has a revenue stream of $2.85 BILLION. 40% of that or $1.1 BILLION is TAX revenue.

Much of that went to PBS-TV side of the house but about $25% went to the public radio system. The DIRECT funding is insignificant but the INDIRECT amount isn't. Stop laundering your funds, you're making ENRON look good. And yes I have backup

Beyond the Federal $$$, don't forget most PBS/NPR stations are run by publicly (i.e. state $$$) universities. Statist propaganda from, well, a bunch of statist.
