While NPR does not receive any direct federal funding, it does receive a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce.

Well my link says they are liars.

Funny considering ....

Who funds the Corporation for Public Broadcasting?
the federal government
CPB is a private nonprofit corporation that is fully funded by the federal government. Ninety-five percent of CPB's appropriation goes directly to local public media stations, content development, community services, and other local station and system needs.

As of 2017, NPR got 38 percent of its funding from individual donors; 19 percent from corporate sponsors; 10 percent from foundations; 10 percent from university licensing; and about 4 percent from the government.5 days ago

So only 4 percent of their funding comes from the government. Lol corporations fund more funding for the station.

Because PBS is commercial-free, many people mistakenly believe public funding provides the bulk of our resources. In fact, federal funding provides only about 15% of the revenue for the public television system. That's an investment of $1.35 per taxpayer per year.

     Musk has honed in on a major element of NPR’s pique: its claim that the federal money it receives is insignificant. “Less than 1% of our operating budget” is the canned line parroted by NPR whenever it is challenged on its ties to its D.C. financial backers.

     Yet any calls to remove that funding immediately lead to a swelling hue and cry that place the “99% independent” assertion in serious doubt. It turns out the big government purse strings are far tighter than NPR wants to admit.

     In a telling series of April 13 tweets seeking to defend her former employer NPR, Schiller noted just how state-affiliated a publicly funded broadcaster can be. “It is true that NPR received a de minimis amount of funding directly from the federal government, less than 1% of total revenue budget,” she wrote. “That said, NPR gets about one third of its funding in the form of programming and membership fees from its hundreds of local member stations. And those stations collectively receive well over $100 million from the US government” via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

     Hilariously, Schiller doesn’t even take a breath before adding, “to be clear: NPR news coverage is in no way influenced by that funding. Zero, nada. nothing. You may not like the coverage all the time, but it’s not because the journalists are pulling their punches for fear of fed funding loss.”

WOW!  I did not know that Trump actually championed a budget that completely would defund public broadcasting.  Just for that, I'm voting for Trump in the primaries.  Good reporting there, ROG!!!

National Public Radio (NPR) is a national nonprofit media outlet created and funded by the federal government. Though the organization claims to strive for objectivity, many media watchdogs consider NPR to have a left-of-center bias. 1NPR’s funding has been a point of controversy since its founding in 1970. NPR is officially a private company, but up until 1983, it received over half of its funding from the federal government through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). In that year, NPR nearly went bankrupt after years of financial mismanagement, and in the subsequent restructuring process, the organization was put under tighter controls by the CPB in exchange for loans. From the late 1980s, NPR generated increasing amounts of its revenue from charitable donations and licensing fees, though a significant portion of the fees come from private local stations which receive funding from CPB and state and local governments. Presently, NPR receives funding for less than 1% of its budget directly from the federal government, but receives almost 10% of its budget from federal, state, and local governments indirectly. 2NPR is based out of its Washington, D.C. headquarters and maintains a west coast office in Culver City, California. These locations produce radio shows which are then syndicated to over 1,000 local, independently-owned “member stations.” Member stations pay annual fees to NPR, can brand themselves as NPR affiliates, and vote on NPR’s board of directors. Many member stations are partially or entirely financed by local or state governments. Member stations also do local reporting which is sometimes picked up by NPR and distributed nationally. 3NPR has international offices in 17 locations, including London Beijing, and Dakar.

Yeah one percent of their funds come from the government. So i guess we can call oil companies on Twitter publicly funded. Along with airports trucking companies and farmers.

As always, you read what you wanted to read. No ****. That was a lie that they claimed. They are receiving a **** load more. God man. 

Do you enjoy looking stupid?

NPR and PBS are not influenced by the government. The amount that the government pays to the CPB is tiny.
On any controversial issue, NPR always offers to air people on all side of the issue. Yesterday, they dealt with the accusations of Clarence Thomas accepting free vacations and such from Harlen Crow. They invited Thomas to speak on his own behalf, but he did not accept. They also invited Republicans in Congress to speak about this, but none accepted.

Musk is not any expert on free speech.
