NPR is repulsive - nothing "public" about them, and that's been true since the 70s. Now that con is fully out there for all to see. Look at who their corporate funders are! I think they're worse than mainstream commercial media because their entire posturing is such a lie. And there's so many things they refuse to address, or that they will bring up only one side of.
They've got a very definite agenda, and it's NOT public information.
In 2022, NPR received only 12% ($16,268,014) of its revenue from individual donations, and 39% ($135,292,987) of its revenue from corporate sponsors. Obviously, it is corporate radio, not public radio.
Anyone who listens to NPR frequently (as I do) will notice that they sell and carry advertising which is different in one important way from that carried by commercial broadcasters.
How much are they paying you, Vonu, for all this propaganda? Probly enough that you could afford some psilocybin mushrooms—they might help you out. Open up that pea brain you’re working so hard to justify still having.
"They've got a very definite agenda, and it's NOT public information."
Amen. I it were "public", it would be *continually seeking* to understand its audience and any changes that occur in it, then transmitting crystalized and coherent summaries of those findings back to that audience as well as to elites.

What’s that Rickie Nelson song, “O, o poor little fool, I was fool o ya.”
Did you forget to take your meds this morning?
Nope. Took em’ all. They’re mushrooms so I rarely forget. Great healers mushrooms.
Also, I would bet the individual donors are not average joes
Define "average joes," since that could be confused with the one in the White House by the really confused and/or ignorant.
You would know more about it if you listened to a pledge drive by a NPR affiliate.
I have in the past and it’s impossible to listen to for more than a few minutes before my brain begins to swell up. Id prefer donor data to see
All of the affiliate stations retain such data in compliance with FCC regulations.
Ask to see their public file.
Listening to NPR, assuming one has a working BS filter, fine tunes it.

In journalism, discovery comes before assertion.
I guess you have never worked as a volunteer in any NPR affiliate.
I guess you believed the bullshit they fed you when you were naive enough to volunteer for an NPR affiliate.
Only the very stupid have ever done that, honey. People on here aren’t stupid. Some are a bit crazy maybe, but not stupid. 😝
I prevented more of it from getting on the air than you have ever has the courage to vet.
