I listen to NPR sometimes, and enjoy some of their weekend programming. It is ridiculous, however, to use Federal money to support an organization that is so heavily biased. Republicans should not have their tax money used to support left-leaning "news" programs that continually criticize their viewpoints every day. They should have to support themselves.REPORT COMMENTS

Agreed. I used to listen every morning. Love the lack of commercials (for things other than themselves). However, over last 8 years, anyone with half a brain would realize they lean heavily one way. What truly worries me is that I don't think they even realize it. Let them fund themselves, and believe me, there will be plenty of liberal funding for them. I've had enough. I'd rather wake up to the buzzer than listen to slanted truth.REPORT COMMENTS

National Public Radio should be neutral but chooses to be bias. Therefore is not providing a service to the public. I use to support NPR but now strongly support privatizing NPR because it behaves like a private organization and not a public organization.REPORT COMMENTS

I have listened to NPR for over 25 years, through both Democratic and Republican Presidential administrations. At no time in the past have I seen the radically one-sided reporting that they now are delivering regarding the Trump administration. Almost every story they report has some form of direct or indirect anti-Trump message. It's childish, over the top, irresponsible, and so self-righteous it's unlistenable to anyone with even slightly more moderate views. They obviously don't care, and with overly-obvious layers of disdain and contempt, continue to dole out the anti-Trump diatribes, day after day. I am now unable to listen, and don't want my tax dollars funding this radical organization!REPORT COMMENTS

They are now officially unhinged. They've started a new program called, "Indivisible" in Nashville all about the first 110 days of the Trump administration, and it's all one-sided against Trump. Every story they run, 90% of them, are anti-Trump. It's time to drain this swamp. NPR's shouldn't use my tax dollars to spread fake news and a one-side agenda about the administration. Kill NPR funding now!REPORT COMMENTS

I listen to NPR every day; however, I do so to hear the viewpoints of the liberal left. Over the past few years, I have noticed an increasingly left leaning bias in their coverage, with little to no effort to disguise it. They no longer even speak of viewpoints that are not their own as being legitimate, but now simply mock all view points that are not those of their station (for instance: Bernie Sanders, Religious Freedom, and Freedom of speech?from a non liberal). I plan to listen to NPR for years to come, but this organization MUST be defunded at the Federal level. It is simply wrong to fund such a one-sided and spiteful organization with federal tax dollars. Once my tax dollars are no longer wasted upon them, I do plan on supporting my local PBS/NPR station on an annual basis, because then and only then can we actually hold them accountable for the change that Must occur.REPORT COMMENTS

Quote from Juan Williams on The O'Reilly Factor, "Michelle Obama, you know, she's got this Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going. If she starts talking...her instinct is to start with this blame America, you know, I'm the victim. If that stuff starts coming out, people will go bananas and she'll go from being the new Jackie O to being something of an albatross") So, he accused the first lady of being the leader of the Black Panthers (Stokely Carmichael reference) and none of you have a problem with this? Well tell you what, let's get Juan Williams, who has been a contributor on FOX News since 1997 (even before he was employed by NPR) to go back on any news channel and claim that Melania Trump is a Neo-Nazi and see what you all say about the news agency he said it on - and about Juan Williams himself.REPORT COMMENTS

The purpose of NPR and PBS has long since outlived their useful purpose. In a digital age, the public should not be paying for public broadcasting.

"Without, or with, offence to friends or foes, I sketch your world exactly as it goes." This was the mantra of my hometown paper. If NPR truthfully followed this in their reporting and programming, I wouldn't have near the issue that it does. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, I am sure that the amount of tax dollars spent on NPR isn't much. But it is one of the many frivolous wasted dollars that could go towards reducing the obscene national debt. Eliminate the waste.REPORT COMMENTS

It is an inappropriate use of my tax dollars to fund such obviously left-leaning radio programming that is not at all representative of the public at large. NPR is perfectly welcome to promote its left-wing views, just not using my tax dollars. The government should not be doing this any more than it should be promoting one religion over another. It is a clear injustice that should be corrected. Please take appropriate action.REPORT COMMENTS

There are many talk radio stations for the public to choose from that cater to tastes of most citizens. NPR has outlived the need to exist on tax payer dollars. If they want to remain on the air NPR needs to support itself in the same manner as other stations via advertising or donations. The government should not be funding this.REPORT COMMENTS
