Absolutely ...I listen to a local NPR sponsored radio stations because of the great progressive music..I have to shut it off as soon as their leftist liberal "news" and commentary programs start..damn shame they can't keep their politics to themselves..it makes me sick that my tax dollars fund their horses**t..

I also enjoy Tiny Desk Concerts, Wait! Wait! (though it took a pretty big shift in the last year), and reruns of Car Talk.
So pretty much I like the programming that is basically what podcasts are doing without public funding.

NPR and BBC have been spewing Globalist Soros/Rothchild propaganda since Obama's first term.

You haven't been listening very long, it's ALWAYS been like that.

Ill admit I've been a listener of NPR for a while - but what has been going on at this network the past year is nothing but shameful - virtually every Terri gross interview somehow evolves into a Russian collusion accusation piece against trump - I've turned it on and almost every time the narrative comes up before i count to twenty . interviews anymore are a joke as a person will be interviewed for something and the interviewing reporter will take everything the person says and try to summarize it into some sort of negative trump ending line - honestly its disgusting how regularly it is done . I honestly can't see how its possible this is taxpayer funded in any way . it is nothing short of negative propaganda and should be cut off immediately - put the money towards mental health or veterans - anything would be better spent

Never should have been funded in the first place. Forced funding of anything means it won't serve those funding it.

The last election brought out the worst in Terry Gross. She couldn't understand how anyone could support Trump once they heard his locker room talk about putting his hands on women and that shocked and horrified her and she kept playing the part of the debate where Trump is questioned and practically accused of committing rape. She was probably so obsessed with Trump, because deep down she was wondering when it was going to be her turn.

Absolutely. Their bias is propaganda and is so fucking cringe.

Its bad enough to hear lies on fake news, but to hear it on NPR and pay for it is over the top-I l turned NPR on the other day and the news was so "Clintonesque" I had to shut it off
