If it's a taxpayer funded entity, shouldn't the employees be payed comparable to what tax payers get paid? They should get around 75K/yr. because that's about what a taxpayer gets, more or less. 500K is way too much for doing something they love to do, they should just do it for free since it's a public entity.
I have heard much about NPR, and it is not a competitive station as their money comes from the people-it shouldn't and they should have to advertise like any other station.
Total propaganda and completely unbearable. A total waste of taxpayer money. Cut it yesterday.

They always justify outrageous salaries for certain people.
Some college coaches make close to a million dollars under the guise of 'retaining talent'
Tax payers make $75,000? There many that make much less.
SHEESH! The regular listeners should be shocked at this level of pay!!
That is the problem of gov't. No economic basis for spending.
Hence money laundering.
Look up who they donated part of their $ to; bet it was not Trump.
The regular listeners would be libbys for the most part.
Do you really think they give a rats ass about the amount of money those anti-American indoctrinators earn.
As long as npr keeps spewing their socialist drivel the sheep will continue to tune in and many will make donations to that far-left shitshow...
I think some listeners would b/c they hate "the rich".
If they hate the rich then they hate the majority of the politicians of which they vote for...
And they seem to love Gates, Soros, Fauchi, etc
NPR
Not Paying Republicans
Shut it down.
It's criminal!
Nothing more disgusting than greedy, rich communists.
Wow! Peter Sagel, who hosts a one-hour? show, once a week, gets $400,000+! Totally outrageous (as if any of them weren't outrageous enough!)
One show a week equals $8,403.11 an hour.
They are not getting paid by the hour, they are getting paid to compromise their integrity and outright lie.
And with all that cash, they have the gall to run regular ads ("sponsorships") and subscription drives.
And they still beg for donations on air
I listen to them every once in a while, when I'm on the road driving. It's all marxist propaganda 24/7.
I dared question them on Twitter under Dorsey and got almost an immediate ban. I'm sure others did as well.
GTFOH! Who would have thought NPR news commentators make so much?
