Yes NPR is fucked. However Elon's companies have received $20billion in public funding since 2008. Which he has used to pay himself and hire thousands of H1Bs. He's bringing this up to deflect from the fact that he is trying to bring in millions more Jeets into the US to take American jobs.
i disagree they provide nothing.. they provide worse than nothing.. deluded people who believe their bullshit, strife, division, lies.. all negative things.
If you scroll down towards the bottom of page you will find the information on
Public Radio and Federal Funding:
Federal funding is essential to public radio's service to the American public and its continuation is critical for both stations and program producers, including NPR.
Public radio stations receive annual grants directly from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) that make up an important part of a diverse revenue mix that includes listener support, corporate sponsorship and grants. Stations, in turn, draw on this mix of public and privately sourced revenue to pay NPR and other public radio producers for their programming.
These station programming fees comprise a significant portion of NPR's largest source of revenue. The loss of federal funding would undermine the stations' ability to pay NPR for programming, thereby weakening the institution.
Elimination of federal funding would result in fewer programs, less journalism— especially local journalism —and eventually the loss of public radio stations, particularly in rural and economically distressed communities.
Stations receive support from many sources, including:
listener contributions,
corporate sponsorship,
in-kind and direct support from universities (when licensed to a college or university),
foundation grants and major gifts,
grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
in some cases, state and local governments
On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments.

Yea but npr provides literally nothing, elon at least made cars and shit.

The granddaddy of the government propaganda machines. Always free on the airwaves and geared toward the lower class/poor.
I know everyone wants to just cancel it, but I say make NPR full MAGA instead.
That's an acceptable alternative.

Turn the spigot off!

Lettuce e-liminate it.
Wag the dog! Comes to mind!
Shut it down. I couldn't even stomach 5 minutes of a broadcast on Saturday. Fire them all then MAYBE start over.
What a rip off.
PBS is no different
