    Given the small amount involved NPR should easily give it up and go private.

    It's the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that needs to be defunded. NPR is Penny's on the dollar compared to the CPB taxpayer funding.

    I imagine even if he wins the lottery, he'll lose because those entities will just increase their contributions.
    Then they will not miss federal money one bit. Thanks for letting us know. We need budget cuts.

    NPR and other public broadcasters are mouth pieces for the left. Let the private citizens and corporations fund public broadcasting.

    If you listen to NPR you are misinformed.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
