NPR freezes hiring as sponsorship revenue tanks
In an internal memo, NPR Chief Executive Officer John Lansing said that the media organization, which is both publicly and privately funded, needs to reduce spending by millions. ...

Recently, it seems as if people have grown tired of NPR's political leanings, despite its characterization as an unbiased source.

NPR should get no public funding whatsoever. It spews the most horrible propaganda day after day.

Go woke, go broke. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

All Things Re-Considered, check it out. Best new podcast I've heard this year. Boghassian (SP?) runs it.

More from the Postmillenial article:

Currently, the organization is expected to come up at least $20 million short in sponsorships this fiscal year. An NPR spokesperson told the outlet that a large portion of the revenue comes from corporate sponsorships.

So which corporate sponsors have cut their funding and why?

Lemme guess...FTX ain't paying anymore.

As one Polish writer said long tine ago, the radio is the best invention of the humankind because you can achieve silence with just a turn of the knob.

LOL! Twitter just labeled NPR as "state-affiliated media" and NPR is BIG MAD because that's how propaganda outlets in other countries are labeled

Twitter added a warning to NPR's Twitter account on Tuesday, declaring it as "state-affiliated media," a label that's typically been reserved for foreign media outlets that represent the official views of the government, like Russia's RT and China's Xinhua. ...

NPR was previously excluded from this tag because the government doesn't have direct editorial oversight of the news network. However, we all REALLY know that they are nothing more than a regime mouthpiece, and Musk apparently recognized this fact too and removed the exception for NPR.

Also, here's another important note from Forbes.

Twitter responded to a request for comment late Tuesday with a poop emoji, an automated response set up by CEO Elon Musk. ...

That's brilliant!
I listened to NPR all through out the Obama administration, just so I would know what hairbrained half-baked commie schemes and shenanigans were coming next. I noticed a pattern. NPR would opine about Trannies pole dancing for kindergarteners one day, then a week later the Democrats in Washington would make a human rights issue out of Trannies right to twerk for 5 year olds.
But when Donald Trump came in office, I noticed something about the produced content.
It seemed to me that every single broadcaster on NPR was holding their nose trying their best to do a South Park imitation.
That's when I quit listening.

I'd call them a bunch of cunts, but since they are all trannies, now, I guess I have to call them a bunch of gashes. Nice, but not quite the same ring tone.

Elon has big cojones. He is butting heads with the rulers of the country.

I use to listen to it in the 90s even then it was very left leaning. With Obama it went crazy far left. It's only a matter of time before all they talk about is magic crystals, witchcraft, and lizard people.

It's false opposition. Elon Musk is a defense contractor. The people that run this country keep up in so many fucking wars, 99.9% of Americans can't even tell you who we're bombing now.
