#1 I have heard that NPR is only funded 10% by the feds. I bet the number is higher if you count the money going from the Feds through leftist NGOs to NPR. I would be satisfied to just turn the money spigot off to both of them including the pass throughs. No need to shut them down directly.

SIMPLE LOGIC APPLIES

When any MEDIA - NEWS or Social Media accepts the DC Swamp
$$$$M's.

It loses impartiality.

Why?
Because DC given that $$$$ to buy allegiance.
Knowing the takers always be wanting to get more $$$$ and the various DC protections that come with it.

eg. Facebook censoring real technical data at the direct request of the Biden Controllers.

#4 I believe Super Hose is right about the funding. Probably 10% direct, 85% filtered, and 5% true believers.

1 suggested Welfare Fraud fix. - Require every single mother ID provide a list of possible dad's for any child covered.

Then ID and make the DAD pay his child support fair share. As a Taxpayer, why am I having to cover the costs for his multiple Sperm Donations.
Also require the voter plantations and Section 8 users adhere to strict tenant control policies.

In other words, the Baby Daddy should pay his part of the RENT and not stay free.
