Morons. They think ‘defund’ means ‘get rid of’ because they themselves can’t exist without grift and bailouts.

NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded

Didn’t Nice Polite Republicans already do that?
I stopped listening to them back when they brought an insurance executive on to talk about how great health insurance is at “providing healthcare”, but they just need more money.

My friend, this is unfortunately the reality of all “left” press of any high volume.
We have the Guardian in the UK which is regarded as the lefty paper by many people here, but if you look at the modern editorial slant, particularly around political coverage and you’ll find it’s very much a centrist paper and occasionally a bit centre-right. They get the odd left-winger in for opinion pieces from time to time to keep up the charade, but you can tell if the LibDems had a chance in hell of being elected, the paper would drop all support for Labour in a heartbeat.
Actual left wing press at any large scale is not permitted to exist by the billionaire classes. If one gets too big, it’ll be acquired and the slant will shift before long. Class consciousness is bad for business

But they have a lesbian and a brown person talking on the microphone, they’re so lefty look at them!

Ah yes, and then have a 2 part series on how the Dems lost by pandering to the left, and how those values in society are long gone.

I just cancelled my New York Times subscription and I’ll be sending that money to NPR now. The grey lady has become a corporate stooge anyway.

Yeah, I know. But it was my stooge.

How? As we know, NPR is funded by viewers like you, and by our corporate sponsors

Don’t forget, an important component of dictatorships is controlling the media
Trump can simply encourage violence against their employees and make them untenable in other ways. Like bring them to court at one of his bribed justices to cost them money
There’s lots of ways to kill a company in a way that isn’t obvious when you’re a dictator

I guess it will have to make do with that Heritage Foundation support it proudly mentions every half hour

NPR has an obvious liberal bias. Ive listened for over 20 years and it is the truth. It is what it is.

If one party says 2+2=5 then are math teachers making a political statement by saying otherwise?

NPR has remained exactly where it was, politically, for decades.
It’s the world you’re noticing that has moved significantly further to the right.

Unfortunately, reality has a liberal bias these days

I’ve listened for over 21 years and they have an obvious bias against unsubstantiated claims.

More fund drives.

damn this is uncool

Guess it’s a good thing that NPR barely gets any funding from the federal or state governments then. All this does is get people to donate more to PBS and NPR.
someguy3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Next they’ll try to ban it.

They got that fancy new law to kill non-profits that I’m sure would be useful.

‘people’ except what you end up with is billionaires and their foundations
