NPR is NOT the local member stations and so Schiller’s fudge isn’t technically false. Keep in mind NPR doesn’t broadcast. They are a producer and distributor of programs. They are separate entities and so NPR is correct in a very narrow and disingenuous sense. It’s a shell game.

The reality is they are one and the same to the average listener.

I mentioned the defunding of NPR when I sent my original email. So she was, in a sense, responding to that. And when she did she said they've received no federal funding since 1983. Moreover, Dana Davis Rehm, the very woman who wrote this email has stated publicly that it would be inappropriate to cut off funding. Clearly that flies in the face of her statement wherein she says they do not receive it.

I know how liberals love to parse words. But I told her I supported the defunding. She responded by saying they don't get and simultaneously released a statement condemning the idea of defunding. That was not parsing words, it was a lie.
