How are they allowed to recieve government funding when they offend half the population with their leftist, communist, only support democrats programming ?

And Pacifica Radio is a communist run front organization. Amy Goodman is a red diaper doper baby who has gone on air and called for revolution and violence and gets away with it.

There is something really wrong with this country when these two radio station get away with their agenda and get paid to do it by the  same people they are trying to destroy!

NPR is to all practical purposes untouchable. What is scary is the likely hood that the Fairness Doctrine will be reintroduced if the Dems get the presidency in 2008. That will be "more power to NPR and the drive-by media."

The fact is NPR doesn't need government money to operate they are funded by the biggest left wing activist organizations like The Pew Center, The Tides Foundation etc,etc,,,

They are part of the shadow government, leftwing totalitarians, the lott of them.

Newt and his gang had the chance to defund the left in 1994 when they took back Congress.  And they had the bills drafted and then at last moment caved.  I felt sick to my stomach and realized that we, the true conservatives had been sold out again.  

I don't know what Newt, et al. got in return for funding NPR, NEA, PBS, etc. but I doubt it was worth it.  These worthless organizations don't need our money but they certainly put it to good use subverting America with taxpayer money.

NPR has alot of names if any of you are familair with Stephen Colbert and have bought his book (I have) he has said a few things about NPR.

Nancy Pelozi Radio

No penis radio

Nazi Palestine Radio

Natalie Portman Radio

Nader Presidential Radio

quoted directly from his book I did not make any of this up no one go after me or sue me or anything like that thanks.

No Point Radio?  Radio for Eggheads?  Does their listenership go beyond the academic campus?

When i turn the dial on my radio i can smell that LIBERAL stink a mile away.  Those commies are compromising our American Heritage and Freedom by supporting violence in the middle east.  They cloud the issues when the truth is obvious.  Its a good thing that they are improving though, as Walmart is beginning to underwrite some of their programs, and the ford foundation and clear channel are donating tons of money.  hoepfully that will spin things in the right direction, and better represent us as Americans who respect Freedom and Democracy as represented by the patriotic actions of these businesses.

Gee, wouldn't it be nice to have the public radio stations our taxes pay for actually represent our views?  I don't listen but if what you suggest is true then great.  But the question is, why is the government running and funding a radio station to begin with?  Stop funding the left!  They can raise their own money and launch and run their own radio and TV stations.

actually only 11% of the funding comes from the federal government, which leaves plenty of room for corporate influence.  see what they are doing is beginning to subvert the liberal agenda by pushing their coverage to the right.  think of NPR as a tool to work against the liberal elitist agenda.  why else would a good christian company like walmart be funding them?

Well, I am suprised that only 11% of their funding comes from the federal government.  But that leads to the questios of why is my tax money going to support these communist shills?  They certainly don't air programs I like and the feds don't subsidize Rush or Mark.  And if they can raise 89% of their own budget why can't the raise the last 11% and get federal tax subsidy free?  Either way, no federal money ought to be going to support this and about 10,000 other things we currently waste money on.
