Republican Congresses had several opportunities to shut down NPR.

So much for “courage.”

I remember their breathless rumor-mongering during Iran-Contra and then their refusal to cover Clinton’s scandals.

Like most Dinosaur Media their audience demographic is overwhlemingly aging, leftist and white. Mother Nature and Father Time will take care of most of it and when the US government acknowledges its insolvency that’ll take care of the rest.

I will say the same thing about Republicans I said about Barack Obama:
If Republicans were actively trying to destroy the United States, what would they be doing differently than they are doing now?

Like Castro’s Cuba, NPR never quite goes away... My prediction sad to say.

There are plenty of rich White Liberals who can keep their NPR by funding it themselves. Pull all government money, big mistake that the GOP has not done this. It’s a no brainer 1st day in office decision.

I used to listen to NPR, broke a few radios doibg it, but about 20 years ago it went all gay all the time. I mean every damn story! That broke me.

Not sure how “Liberal” NPR is. They are definitely Leftist though.

But now they are liberal fascists and supporters of the police state.

I just love how NPR claims to be listener supported but the minute Congress even has a thought about cutting funding the screaming starts.

I could go on and on about them, but one point really comes to mind. They are very New York centric, not just North East but New York City. They don’t really understand the rest of the country. Two or three years ago there was the story of the young girl who crossed the New Mexico with a large group of other illegals got sick and died while/after being helicoptered to El Paso. The on the ground reporter did a reasonable job of describing how remote the area she crossed the border was, but the host talking to him simply could not understand the concept. He had no clue about something without a bus stop every 2 blocks. When Cokie Roberts passed away they noted she covered 3 Mile Island for them because almost no one else in office new how to drive a car.

Republicans can always be counted upon to do the right thing . . . as long as the right thing doesn’t remotely threaten reelection.

I managed to hold out listening to their morning drivel until last summer when I couldn’t take any more of their b@tshit crazy jihad against President Trump, his wonderful family and supporters.

The only thing good to ever come from NPR was Car Talk. When the show stopped airing after one of the brothers died, I stopped tuning in and listen to the Car Talk podcasts.
