> 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.<p>> On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments.<p><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/178660742/public-radio-finances" rel="nofollow">https://www.npr.org/about-npr/178660742/public-radio-finance...</a><p>"Less than 1%" is still more than 0. Sounds like NPR is, in part, Government-funded Media, making the Twitter label accurate, at least on face value. If they don't want to be labeled as such, they can't accept government funding. I'm sure if the US government attached strings to their money, NPR would roll over and do whatever is asked.
NPR is propaganda.<p>If NPR was as upstanding as some want to believe, and if this money isn't meaningful, then it should be easy for NPR to give the money back and distance themselves in a way that leaves no room for question.<p>NPR's actions demonstrate how corrupt and depraved they are.<p>The enemy of the people deserve everything that happens to them.
