Talk about rage quitting. They'll be back.
And whether it's unpopular or not, CPB gets federal and state grants for part of their operating budgets . Technically state funded or affiliated in the same way auto makers get government contracts.
I don't know why they are mad about the designation. Whether it implies bias or not, it's true they get state funds, ergo they are state funded media.
- bfeynman 4y agoWait wasn't the whole debacle that Twitter had special access to govt and received money for them regarding postings? Isn't twitter then also state affiliated media?
- freitzkriesler2 4y agoWahwahwhatabout! We're talking about NPR, not Twitter. And the designation doesn't matter.
- colpabar 4y agoDo you mean the twitter files conspiracy theory? That didn't happen, and if it did, it was totally normal, and if it wasn't, it was justified.
- orwin 4y agoThe issue is that they are marked as state affiliated, not state funded. And i support every company that receive state funds, directly or via tax breaks to be called 'state funded company'. That would have interesting repercussions.
