Where we read the following, with my added CAPS:
"NPR's revenue comes primarily from fees paid by our member stations,
contributions from corporate sponsors, institutional foundation
grants, gifts from major donors, and fees paid by users of The Public
Radio Satellite System. WE RECEIVE NO DIRECT FEDERAL FUNDING FOR
OPERATIONS. The largest share of NPR's revenue comes from program
fees and station dues paid by member stations that broadcast NPR
programs."

NPR Derives 41% of Funding From YOUR Taxes
How Public Is NPR's Funding? Options
By Mark Browning
De-fund NPR! In the wake of the firing of Juan Williams by National
Public Radio, we've once again heard conservative voices issue that
call. NPR representatives respond, as they always do when their
dependence on government purse strings is noted, by arguing that only
two or three percent of the service's money comes from the federal
government. NPR apologist Norah O'Donnell recently threw out a one to
three-percent figure on MSNBC.
Norah's New Math Grossly Understates NPR's Fed Funding
http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2010/10/22/norahs-new-math-grossly-understates-nprs-fed-funding
We don't see these people volunteering to give up that three percent,
but we have to admit that this amount of funding is not the gigantic
boondoggle we might prefer to oppose. Is this three-percent number a
fair claim by the NPR crowd? Apparently, in a very limited sense, it
is, but in a more comprehensive analysis, it is nowhere near
accurate.
To understand NPR funding, we have to recognize that public radio is a
two-tier operation. There is, on the one hand, the network itself, the
Washington-based producer of programs that actually terminated Juan
Williams' contract. On the other hand, there is the collection of some
nine hundred NPR affiliate radio stations who bring this programming
to radios around the United States. We cannot hope to understand NPR's
finances without understanding the stations as well, so let's begin
there.
According to information available from the NPR website [Oct 2010],
http://www.npr.org/about/aboutnpr/publicradiofinances.html
local radio station money comes from the following sources:
32.1% Individual contributions
21.1% Business contributions
13.6% University funds
10.1% Corporation for Public Broadcasting funds
9.6% Foundation money
5.6% Federal, state, and local government funds
7.6% Other
At first glance, this distribution of funds seems to confirm that
public radio's support does not come in large amounts from the direct
allocation of tax moneys. After all, 5.6% is not a gigantic portion of
the budget, is it? But let's look more closely. That 10.1% that comes
from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is 99% provided by -- you
guessed it -- the federal government. Those university funds, whenever
they are provided by a public university, represent taxpayer-provided
dollars. We can safely assert that three out of four university-
supported stations are publicly funded, which means that more than 10%
(three-quarters of that 13.6%) is taken from the taxpayer's pockets.
So far, we find that NPR member stations count on direct or indirect
taxpayer money for some 25% of their funds -- and that's before we
consider some of the largest portions of their budgets.
Obviously the support by individuals, businesses, and foundations does
not constitute taxpayer funding, right? Not so fast. These donations
are tax-deductible; thus, they are subsidized by the government.
Granted, not every gift is actually reflected on an individual or
business tax return, and not all of those that are itemized wind up
offsetting high marginal tax rates. Still, it is reasonable to
believe that on average, these gifts result in deductions at the 25%
tax bracket. Since these three categories add up to roughly 64% of
station funds, we can reasonably argue that 16% of that money (64% x
0.25) is subsidized by the tax code.
In the end, then, local NPR affiliates derive something like 41% of
their funding from taxes, either directly or indirectly.
What about the entity that generated all the buzz for firing Juan
Williams? Interestingly, despite their conflicting 2% and 3% claims,
the NPR website says, "We receive no direct federal funding for
operations." Of course, that sort of statement leaves open the
possibility of receiving direct federal funding for other purposes.
What are those? They don't volunteer that information easily. What
they do point out prominently is that the biggest source of money is
from member stations. Local stations pay dues and fees for the
programs they rebroadcast. This money, recorded as Station Programming
Fees (40%), Membership Dues (1%), and Distribution Services (8%),
accounts for nearly half of NPR's funds.
Why is this significant? You do recall that some 41% of local station
money came from taxpayers, right? If 50% of funding comes from money
that is 40% derived from taxes, then another 20% of NPR's budget
comes, indirectly, from taxpayers. Twenty percent! That's a long way
from the 2%-3% figures, isn't it?
The next huge chunk of NPR income comes from "Sponsorships." These are
the things that, in any other media outlet, would be called
advertisements. We could argue that sponsorship money is tax-
deductible and therefore partly taxpayer-funded, but, lest we look
like double-standard-wielding lefties, we would have to make the same
argument for the ads that car companies run on ABC and CBS. Let's face
it: virtually every large corporation in America enjoys some form of
government largesse. That's what happens when government tentacles
reach into all portions of our lives.
On the other hand, there is much more clarity when we look to the 10%
"Grants and Contributions" category that represents direct taxpayer
gifting (most prominently by way of the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting) and indirect taxpayer support by way of tax deductions.
Is it reasonable to say that half of that 10% comes in one way or
another from taxes? I think so, but I'll settle for saying that this
category adds just 3% to the total. This brings our total of taxpayer
support for the entire NPR budget to around 23%.
Given that only 89% of the NPR income pie comes from external sources
(the rest coming from investment returns), it is not unreasonable to
assert that more than 25% of NPR funds from outside sources actually
comes from taxpayers. That's not an overwhelming portion of the
budget, but it's a long way from two to three percent.
As annoying as I find the bias at MSNBC or the New York Times, I will
respect to the end their right to be as biased as they'd like. What
they do with their money and whatever funds they can convince
advertisers to kick in is their own business. The same does not apply
to the likes of NPR. That's your money and my money going into their
coffers and funding that unbalanced message. We need to demand that
NPR either be pushed away from the public trough or be required to
present a modicum of evenhandedness.

which NPR provides.

allow both or all sides of an issue to be discussed and when haven't
they treated conservatives with respect?

The last thing the ruling elite (Koch Brothers, the Olins, the Scaifes,

I feel the same about the Marine Corps.
We already had that argument during the Enlightenment; the Social
Contract, which is the basis of democratic republican government,
ensued. It says we surrender some personal liberty to advance the public
good. The Founders were heavily into Locke and Rousseau, I suggest you
follow suit, so you don't come off like a moron around here. Some of us
pay attention, Mr. "Libertarian".
Every time you buy an advertised product you are subsidizing Fox News.
Companies write off advertising while wage earners pick up the slack in

behind and squeeze us coming and going. Your bumper sticker wisdom won't

The ultra right wing Koch Family Foundation is an underwriter of NPR
programming (ever hear an all-classical NPR station in the South?). When
NPR News reported that the Kochs were financing the TEA party and a
hundred million dollars in attack ads against democrats and health care,
Dave and Charles went a little funny in the head and ordered their
stooges (Limbaugh, Hannity, et al) to go after NPR.
It has nothing to do with liberal bias. It has everything to with
telling the truth while bravely biting the hand that feeds.
Do you ever have any proof of your ramblings or are you just another
Gary Rozelles or Ray Fischer sock puppet?
The Social Contract is based on the notion of allegiance, that is to
say 'voluntary' acceptance, not imposition. It should become
increasingly clear that people are opting out of impositions and
resisting obedience. The Social Contract is based on individuals not a
collective. There is no collective, only individuals.
You can call those who disagree with you morons, but Does that not
misses the point political equality in a big way?

The Kochs operate oil refineries in Alaska, Texas, and Minnesota, and
control some four thousand miles of pipeline. Koch Industries owns
Brawny paper towels, Dixie cups, Georgia-Pacific lumber, Stainmaster
carpet, and Lycra, among other products. Forbes ranks it as the
second-largest private company in the country, after Cargill, and its
consistent profitability has made David and Charles Koch�who, years ago,
bought out two other brothers�among the richest men in America. Their
combined fortune of thirty-five billion dollars is exceeded only by
those of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower
personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and
much less oversight of industry�especially environmental regulation.
These views dovetail with the brothers� corporate interests. In a study
released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst�s
Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the
top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a
report identifying the company as a �kingpin of climate science denial.�
The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid
ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related
to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think
tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded
opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies�from
health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program�that, in political
circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus.

You begin to get the idea.
The as long as anyone is forced to pay for NPR freedom eludes us.
TV will turn you into an idiot. If you need to show a movie to make a
point your message needs some distillation.
I'm willing to go down that road.
Yeah, but fools like you, which have difficulty with
reading/comprehension, it helps ...

Credible information is essential to a healthy democratic republic.
Misinformed voters are dangerous. Triumph of the will and all that.
Do you seriously think ad supported media will fairly discuss campaign
finance reform, when they are the ones who sell all the expensive air time?
Do you think a magazine whose #1 advertiser is a car company is going
to push mass transit?
Get real. The point of "public broadcasting" is freedom from outside
commercial interests. They can tell the story straight up the middle and
let the pieces fall where they may. NPR is the only media NOT controlled
by business interests; that's why the oligarchs and their thugs hate NPR.
Rest in Peace, Nash Roberts.
