Technically Democracy just means "rule by the people" which can be in any form that effects this result.
There are ways to have democracy without even having elections.
The only good thing NPR ever had on was "Car Talk" with Click and Clack, the Tappit brothers, brought to you by Dewey, Cheatem and Howe attorneys at law. I'm not even sure they play that show anymore. I haven't listened to NPR in decades.
I can’t wait until we relegate EV’s to just another car choice rather than the only mandated option, and get back to perfecting the good old fashioned internal combustion engine. Imagine our future with some kickass American muscle, albeit cleaner, and with better steering.
Right-of-center figures have periodically called to eliminate government funding for NPR almost since its founding. Proponents of the cuts argue that the government should not be funding a media outlet and that NPR tends to have a political bias towards the left. Defenders of NPR have argued that the organization provides an essential service and requires a relatively small annual subsidy from the government to survive.
Okay, NPR; here is the deal: Accept the funding cut, and the label might be removed if that is enough.
I'm pretty sure the CCP would call their system a democracy as well. These idiots wouldn't know a Constitutional Republic if it hit them between the eyes.
I love the butthurt, whining tone of their statement. "state media" is and appropriate label, though I would have added a blurb about Pravda or Goebbels there to make it more factually correct.
Their tweet needs to get blasted with a libk to this podcast bit, disenchanted old school liberals discussing the moment they stopped listening to NPR and even started up an organization to collect other people's stories. LOL
The "our democracy" mantra is such a blatant dog-whistle for establishment power at this point that I'm surprised they still use it.
So am I, actually.
They'll keep using it for as long as sheep keep parroting it.
I thought that the USA was meant to be a constitutional republic. But I'm a Brit - what would I know?
The two aren't mutually exclusive terms. Democracy just means you have democratic elections aka everyone gets a vote.

"Democracy means government for the people from the people by the people...but the people are retarded."
They’ll keep using this rubbish as long as assorted weirdos continue to donate to it.
why would i want to be involved with a “democracy” with people who hate me?
Like 2 wolves and 1 sheep voting on whats for dinner
Hear, hear!

My old coworker called them national communists radio.
I do miss the Car talk guys
That was radio not NPr
They play reruns. Unfortunately, one of the hosts (Thomas) passed away in 2014.
As a complication of putting up with liberarl ijit shit (PLS)
Ironically that's one of few things the left and right had common ground in. Now they are pushing EVs on car guys and its red pilling them...

It's telling that GM is investing $60M into EVs....and $1B into new V8s.
That first sentence is pretty much all we need to know.
10%? Like 10% the big guy gets? Kek.
Everyone has to get their 10% of my money. They're just another rag that spreads mis/disinfo that my money goes to fund.
"Disturbed."
This is not good whichever way they go.
Either they are not disclosing state funds and therefore lying.
Or, they are saying state funding is bad and not respectable journalism policy.
Okay, NPR; here is the deal: Accept the funding cut, and the label might be removed if that is enough.
"All" instead of the elegant "Ladies and gentlemen."
Because "ladies and gentlemen" is not inclusive enough.
LOL
NPR - The closest thing to the Soviet Pravda

oh snap.. unacceptable for twitter to label NPR that way? rofl
how the turns have tabled.
Drag Diane Rheam out the grave, prop her up for Weekend at NPR.
Stealing From Taxpayers by another name.
What the hell does the "N" in NPR stand for?
New, as in
New (World Order) Public Relations.
Illuminati Radio, paid for by the people, against the people.
Nazi?
I’m so sorry Elon disturbed you NpR 😂
literally has "National Public Radio" in the name...GTFOH
Me thinks you protest too much! All your advertisers are clutching their pearls. Fainting like an actress on the old talkies...
NPR stands for the NWO PROPAGANDA REPORT

It is LITERALLY state affiliated, more than ANY OTHER media group
Now please do the Canadian networks!
Own it, shortcake.
It's a Republic NOT a Democracy ! Democracy is tyranny ruled by the majority
What is it the whipper-snappers say these days?
Seethe.
Cope.
😂🤣😂😁😁👌👌👌
NPR= foggy bottom mouthpiece
I had to read this in "Waaaah waaah waaaaaaaahhhhhhh"
Mmm where does NPR budget get funded from??? Didn't we see a call out about one of these bills that gave NPR millions???
"Independent, fact based journalism..."
Also
"...our democracy."
Fact check: REPUBLIC.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
LITERALLY called National Public Radio.
The only "disturbing" thing about this is that NPR still exists.
That says it all! Reminds me of fact checkers on social media.
What does the "National Public" mean then?
