So what’s NPR, PBS, and VOA? Note that Trump is actively trying to reorient VOA to be Trump-friendly right now.

  They have editorial independence. At most they have financial dependence. And Trump's attack on VOA is failing because VOA is protected from him by law.

  NPR is an independent nonprofit organization. Most of its funding comes from member station dues, as well as donations, grants, sponsorships, etc. 2% of the parent organization's revenue comes from government grants. Member stations also receive some government grants but most of their funding comes from listener contributions, sponsorships, etc. The situation with PBS is similar but a bit more complicated to tease apart. The majority of PBS's funding comes from member station dues, but it also does receive some tens of millions from the federally-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) each year, and the CPB also supports those member PBS stations. PBS and the CPB also work together on program acquisition and development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBS
