We're only a few weeks into the 112th Congress, and Republicans in Congress are already attempting to pull the plug on public media.

While deciding how to fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year, House Republicans were able to zero out all funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the nonprofit responsible for funding public media including NPR, PBS, Pacifica and more.

1. Sorry -- NPR "Pulled the plug" on everything I believed in about 15 years ago.

They can go pound sand now.

Maybe they can get funded by The Heritage Foundation,
the Hoover Institute, David Frum, or the Cato Institute --
they're really good friends with them!

2. NPR Has the niche position of advertising corporations

instead of their products, in the event of a loss of federal funds, why wouldn't they just charge their corporate customers more?

3. What shame. NPR is another victim of being politicized. nt

6. NPR got Corporatized then got Politicized.

In other words they became too big for their britches to be classified as public tv. That was their ruination. I used to think NPR rocked. Not as much anymore but they need to get away from the bigness, be more humble.
