    NPR is public funded. Is this a real tweet? Is he that stupid?

      Not a joke- isn’t is augmented by “listeners like you” but “public” radio in that it’s tax payer funded?

        It’s hard to pin down an exact number from the various sources I could find, but consensus puts the number anywhere between 4% and 12% of NPR’s funding comes from federal (direct and indirect) sources.

        The vast majority of their funding comes from private donations
