What the lefties will never understand is choosing to privatize these programs has little to do with saving money (although it will) and more to do with breaking ties between the established government elites and thier propaganda factories. Public radio that acts as if it is funded by the public alone through pledge drives shouldn't need any government funding. They should answer only to the public and if the public gets sick of the endless lefty mind control and stops donating money than it and any other program like it should go under. If the public is no longer entertained and has woken up to the fact that it is NOT informative than it should fail and not be saved by government funding. The left will never understand this because they still think it's news and not using government money to keep it running is irresponsible. The opposite is true. We don't need NPR telling us how to think and if they want to keep trying then the leftist can pay for with donation. My taxes are not needed.
