My wife listens to NPR (although not as much lately) so I'm familiar with it. You seriously think NPR is neutral and doesn't skew left? Its employees are like 98% Dem.

It’s telling that you think because their employees probably vote a certain way, that their reporting must ipso facto be skewed to some corresponding bias. Projection, as always with these people.

NPR is about as neutral as reporting gets. If you find biases there, take a long look in the mirror.

I don't dislike NPR or PBS, even though they lean left. I just see no need for the Federal Government to subsidize it any longer. It's no longer 1970, when you had limited TV options.

The reason for funding National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service eludes you? Really?

The subsidy wasn't about scarcity of bandwidth. Precisely the opposite: PBS and NPR were taking scarce spots away from commercial broadcasts, but Congress thought it important that we have PUBLIC broadcasting.

Also, the fact that there are 500 channels of shit now doesn't defeat the need for quality public broadcasting. Quite the opposite, actually.

I believe the government funding of NPR is another fox news myth.

Private individual donations account for over 32% of NPR's total revenue, according to a document from Oklahoma State University. Additionally, donations from businesses, universities, and foundations contribute another 44.4%. This means that a significant portion of NPR's funding comes from private sources rather than government subsidies, which make up only about 5.8%.

But we wouldn't want to dip into birthday parade funding now, would we?

Kinda like public colleges. Only 16% of UNC's funding comes from NC state appropriations.

Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His Staff

Vincent Scardina supported Donald Trump’s tough stance on immigration at the ballot box. But that decision came back to bite the roofing boss when ICE detained a third of his workforce. The six men, all from Nicaragua, were pulled over in a work truck on May 27 while heading to a job—and carted...

Sorry, not sorry.

Should be pointed at that the six men arrested were here LEGALLY.
Trump doesn’t give a shit that lives are ruined and businesses are destroyed.
And this obviously has nothing to do with ILLEGAL immigration if they are also rounding up and deporting people here with valid work visas.
This shit is evil and stupid on top of that.

I feel for the workers.

Vincent Scardina……the Trumplican roofing contractor…….who still supports Trump? He can go fuck himself.

I also DOUBT that he has paperwork showing his roofers are here legally.

He and his landscaping relative have been hiring undocumented immigrants for decades because they can pay them less and work them more.

Yeah, my sympathies are with the workers.

This is why people are protesting (comment not directed at you, Zoo).
 
My painters a couple years ago. I asked them how long they had worked for Carlos-the owner.. Proudly they replied
"I work for myself-am independant contractor"
So yea Carlos avoids payroll tax even I imagine
