1st amendment forbids the Congress from passing laws to restrict freedom of speech. NPR is not ran by the government, although they get 8% of their funding from the govt.
Im not sure, But when you are hired by an employer, they have every right to dictate whether or not you work for a competitor on the side.
LMAO.. Has twitter taught the left nothing? Or maybe this is just another way of avoiding reality? Or maybe it's just a involuntary DNC reactionary propaganda reply beat in to their base by the MSM?
No question federal government is content to use private media for purposes of propaganda. I really don't like it when it is government supported media. Government has no business there at all. Not even a little.
No argument there. I don't care that they threw him out. I don't care that they are biased. I care that government is involved in it.
Some sources say they get more than 80%. Take your pick. I don't think government is messing with their freedom of speech. It doesn't need to. NPR is completely loyal to government. That is OK. That government contributes financially is not OK.
IN what sense are they "completely loyal" to the government? NPR, not the government, provides the content?
The content is always in line with what government likes. Government likes liberalism. They do liberalism. I'm OK with it. I'm not OK with government financial involvement.
So, if Speaker Johnson tells them to print something like "Biden sucks", they'll do it because they are so loyal to the government? I don't think your statement makes much sense.
NPR is completely loyal to progressivism and the Democrat Party, which makes it loyal to the government because the Democrats want the government TO BE the Democrat Party.
Really? FUNDING.. They are going to support and tow the line to those that butter their bread, of course
And this is the new CEO for NPR. A horrifying twisted monster. She is pretty though. We're warned, when Satan comes for us, he won't have horns and snarl at us. He might even be someone like this depraved uni-party activist.
Feel free to blather on about NPR funding, but the truth of the matter is they receive a great deal of money from the federal government, even if it's not directly allocated.
It is completely disingenuous and false to lie about NPR receiving only 1% of its budget from the government.
They get 40% of their budget from a fund overseen by a committee appointed by the administration. While this may be slightly indirect, it is about as direct as you can get. Maybe worse than direct payment.
I found an article that gave both sides of the story... https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244...lden to,not involved in editorial decisions."
