It has been extremely evident over the past several years that the news coverage and other content from NPR is far from politically neutral. If they can't maintain neutrality, they should not get public funding. I don't see how this is controversial. If they were producing a bunch of right-wing or right-coded content, the author of this article would be rejoicing about it. If their content is valuable to their audience, it should be able to stand on its own. The only thing I am a little bit sad about here is PBS and some of their educational content for kids. Some of that stuff was top-notch. Hopefully this can find some way to also stand on its own.

If y'all view NPR as biased, I'm afraid there's very little hope for you.

You'd be better served watching RT news, truly unbiased and glorious like its unfallible motherland.

NPR and PBS are not the only beneficieries from CPB funding. In fact, CPB funding only accounts for about 1% of NPR's revenue. NPR is definitely biased but will be fine.

Who won't be fine, however, are the thousands of radio and public TV stations across the political spectrum for whom CPB funding makes up a substantial portion of their funding.

Every dollar counts for these stations, and seeing our administration decide that public media should die (or, more likely, get swallowed up even more aggressively by Clear Channel/Sinclair) because they're too "woke" is a real shame.

Also, CPB was the sole grantor of the NextGen Warning System program, which is ending once CPB shuts down.
