NPR folks can’t seem to make up their minds. Does it need the government funding or not? Because every time this comes up, the NPR defenders diminish the impact by saying only a small fraction of funding comes from the government, but now it’s somehow a showstopper if the funding stops?
The corporation for public broadcasting has been manufacturing consent for made up wars since their inception. I’ve heard them read CIA press releases verbatim on-air without even minimal pushback. And their corporatization for the past few decades has only exasperated the problems, while cutting out any content of value. Fuck’em.
