NPR is not a government entity and the executive branch punishing the press because the truth hurts the president’s feelings sets a disastrous precedent.
If you think it’s not a government entity, why are you arguing they should receive state funding? Pick a lane.
All right two things here. First of all he doesn't think it's not a government entity, it's not a government entity. That's a statement of fact. Secondly since when does State funding not go to non- government entities? When was that a rule?
Since when is a government obligated to fund an organization that isn't part of that government?
Since the elected Representatives of the legislative Branch authorized it. Like they do for all funding for non-government organizations. Of which there are hundreds. There's some Schoolhouse Rock videos that might explain it better.
Authorization =/= obligation, very simple really
I see so you're under the impression that after legislation has been passed there's no obligation to follow it. You must be really enjoying the current political climate.
Correct, legislation authorizing funding for a thing does not obligate anyone to continue funding that thing in perpetuity, fucking duh. I hate Trump but one of the few silver linings to his presidency is the dismantling of our many propaganda outlets. Fuck NPR, cry about it loser.
There it is.
Fuck this insincere prick.
Lol nothing insincere about it, you're just butthurt because you love US propaganda like a good little patriot. If you want to spread that brainrot so badly you can pay for it yourself.
