I don't think that NPR needs public money when George Soros just gave them $1M IIRC. Seems he bought some influence for his ideas with that, and another platform where AOL picked up Soros-sponsored Huffington Post to the tune of $1.5M.

Seems to me that NPR claims the public money is only about 20% of their operating budget; the rest comes from various foundations and big corporate grants.

McDonalds heiress Mrs. Kroc left them over $100 million in her will about a decade ago. I guess they squandered that legacy.
