Cutting funding to NPR — which claims to be unbiased but skews heavily left-wing and is fiercely opposed to President-elect Trump — has long been a popular policy among conservative voters. The outlet receives only a portion of its funding from the federal government, with additional donations coming from state governments and private donors.

NEW: Cutting Funding To NPR Is On Government Efficiency Committee’s Radar, MTG Says

It's unfair to keep funding NPR when the employees are so heavily one party.

Excellent! Then there should be no objections to dropping federal funding.

Every penny counts. So they save two or three million when they are trying to save 2 trillion dollars a year. If you cut million you may save billions but I do not see that as adding up to trillions.

If anyone can do it, Musk can. They question when with him is when, but no one questions that he can do what he says he will do. I think they are going to tear this government down and build a new one. Even Daniel talks about this. Even

Isaiah 9:6​

  • "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

So we all look forward to the Kingdom age. Everything we ever dreamed a government should be.

Gov funding is less than 1% of their budget.

That's pretty misleading.

At the same time, however, it is misleading for NPR to assert, in rebutting Musk, that it receives but 1 percent of its funding from the federal government. The reality is more complex — and should raise questions for those who care about the future of “public media.” ​
​
NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law. Here’s how it works: Under the terms of the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act, funds are allocated annually to a non-governmental agency, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, overseen by a board of presidential appointees. That corporation, in turn, can choose to support original programming produced by public television or public radio — but, by law, must direct much of its $445 million funding (scheduled to top $500 million next fiscal year) to local public television and public radio stations across the country, via so-called “community service grants.” ​
​
Here’s where things get tricky. Local stations, if they want to broadcast “All Things Considered,” “Fresh Air” and other programming produced by NPR or competitors such as American Public Radio, must pay for it. Indeed, in its consolidated financial statement for 2021, NPR reported $90 million in revenue from “contracts from customers,” a significant portion of its $279 million and much more than 1 percent. Such revenue was exceeded only by corporate sponsorships, which totaled $121 million. One can think of these funds as federal grants that have been sent from Washington — but returned to it.​

I gave up on NPR when they didn't cover the scandal's related to Arthur Daniel Midland. Every other media source was talking about the legal issues that ADM has faced over the years, including price-fixing, whistleblower retaliation, and antitrust violations. However, from NPR not a word. They were of course a major contributor to NPR. I've never trusted them since.

So does the Trump administration plan to stop all the indirect funding or are they just making a big deal out of the 1% they plan to stop? I attended a church that owned a TV station and that was a point of contention for me that they would be involved in the very thing they preached against in the Sanctuary.
