Rumor has it that some important people pay attention to this website

Could this be the EO of all EO’s???

National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities need to go.

Has to be one of the biggest wastes of federal funding.

It’s only a waste if you don’t subscribe to commie viewpoints.

Taxpayer funded leftist propaganda is quite a bargain if you’re a leftist.

At least if they're going to fund it, then 50% of the workforce and broadcasts need to be from the other viewpoint.

Just simulcast Steve Bannon and Dan Bongino and Alex Jones half of every day and watch the ratings explode.

It’s anti-American garbage. Let Soros fund that crap. Why should the normal American tax payer fund that commie propaganda?

I’ve been listening to npr for nearly 30 years, since the mid 90s.

It is the worst of political discourse and propaganda. It’s not just Democrat Party talking points, it’s today’s Democrat Party talking points. It’s full blown cultural and political Marxism. It’s like reddit for radio. Every single issue and story is viewed and reported through the lens of race and gender. There is zero real broad discussion or analysis across the political spectrum. Of all the media I consume, and I consume a lot, it is the most narrow minded.

Same reason Planned Parenthood does, money laundering back to the DNC.

It's kind of sad because I remember when it was neutral, very professional, VERY boring news. That was a long time ago.

Now it is just pure State propaganda for the Democrats.

I’m hoping Trump ends its funding as well as PBS’ by the end of the week. CSPAN can stay since that is actually a public service, but those two need to go from taxpayers funding.

Can I inquire as to why you continue to listen to it? I am truly just curious. I listen occasionally as well.

Why? Congress doesn’t have the stones to cut funding to their local public radio station.

You must have caught the first few broadcast in 1970 because they have been leftist since 1971.

Ok, but you are getting a little long in the tooth for double shifts at the chicken house.

Haven't worked there in 15 years numbnuts.
At least it was an honest job, unlike lawyering.

ETA. And it was a poultry plant, not a chicken house. Someone used to fine legal distinctions shouldn't make that kind of mistake.
