There is no way there should be any federal money going to NPR. NPR has shown themselves to only represent a single political power party. I am opposed to bringing in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany style journalism into the US. "Soviet Union or Nazi Germany style journalism" That made me laugh. I keep telling you that you guys are near close to what Nazi Germany used to be. Of course you don’t believe it until it’s too late.

No, because Fox is a for-profit enterprise. There is no way there should be any federal money going to NPR. NPR has shown themselves to only represent a single political party. I am opposed to bringing in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany style journalism into the US. NPR gets very little of it's funding (~1%) directly from the federal government. Since 1967 the feds have funded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) currently with about $500 million per year, the bulk of which is directed to local stations. The 1967 law requires that the local stations use “23 percent of such amounts shall be available for distribution among the licensees and permittees of public radio stations solely to be used for acquiring or producing programming that is to be distributed nationally and is designed to serve the needs of a national audience.” 32% of NPR's funding comes from contracts with the local stations that use CPR grants to help fund these purchases. From what I have seen it in no way requires local stations to purchase NPR programming, only that it be of national origin. As it stands now listeners opposed to to NPR programming should contact their local stations. Additionally other organizations would have to be formed to produce the national programming the law requires and they would have to compete with NPR to get on the local stations. More information can be found in many places including this article published by "The Hill". thehill.com/opinion/campaign/3950550-the-truth-about-nprs-funding-and-its-possible-future/

Of course you don’t believe it until it’s too late. We know you do, but we also know that Fox creates false equivalency and feeds it to you, who believes it without question, then you parrot it back here. It is still false, which is why it can't stand any scrutiny. You throw %*$# against the wall then run away. It is the simplest thing in the world to disprove that NPR is anything like nazi or Soviet propaganda, but you wont listen. You also can't prove it is, but you run away if challenged.

Curious if you’ve ever watched island at war. It’s the real account of the island of Guernsey during World War II. The Nazis took the island over and they showed how life changed for the people living on the island. Of course every Jew was first marked if they were a store owner. It was found on the shop there in German soldiers would definitely not support that business. Then a few months later they loaded them up and took them away to what we assume we’re concentration camps. . Remember when Democrats wanted everyone to boycott any businesses that supported Donald Trump. Remember when they pressured people that dared to come out in support of him. Trying to ruin them? They investigated his closest allies in cabinet members.Nothing made them happier when those people were destroyed? This is you people and that is exactly what you’ve turned into. The Germans would never admit it either. Because they knew in their hearts they were right. And no one had the guts or courage to realize this was the first step in something horrible. Sound familiar?

Sound familiar? And just like the Nazis targeted the Jews, the court systems in New York have targeted a political opponent. I think you people seriously believe that these charges are all legit. That’s how !!!!###$$$!!!ed up you are. And just like the Germans at the time you people do not have the ability to check yourself but Mr. Berlinger did. And what did he get for it? What did his courage get rewarded? A five day suspension without pay because how dare he think for himself. You guys are screwed up.

Sound familiar? Ok, you must really have an issue with Donald Trump attacking businesses while President, right? Calling for boycotts, threatening legislation against them??? Name when Biden's done that as President. Every.Single. Thing. You. Falsely. Accuse. Democrats. Of. Doing. We. Show. You. Proof. Of. Republicans. Doing. It. And you say nothing, not providing any proof of your nonsense. Where's your proof of Joe Biden doing what you claim? Here are 61 businesses President Trump attacked as PRESIDENT: calling for boycotts and threatening legislation to "ruin them". Every day you post "hErE's dEmOcRaTs" blah blah blah. Someone put a list of businesses to boycott: ok, which Democrat did it? Was it an Independent who hates Trump, a Never Trumper? Is it an official policy or just something Hannity got you outraged about? Was it Biden? Kamala Harris? Was it an influential leader in the Democratic Party? Do you even know if it was someone in the US? Donald Trump is hated by much of the world. We have 340 million people in this country and you think ANY one person represents the Democratic party, if it fits your pre-conceived notion. Often, you'll cite examples of "dEmOcRaTs doing XYZ" without even knowing if they're Democrats. I look forward to your proof of Biden attacking 61 businesses while President. Otherwise, kindly STFU: respectfully. finance.yahoo.com/news/61-businesses-trump-has-attacked-on-twitter-181623705.html

"Soviet Union or Nazi Germany style journalism" That made me laugh. I keep telling you that you guys are near close to what Nazi Germany used to be. Of course you don’t believe it until it’s too late. I highly recommend this recently published book, “Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power,” which about Hitler's push for absolute power in 1932 and how it was aided by a number of establishment right-wing figures in Germany who were playing cynical games and should've known better. Some strong parallels to the US today. A cautionary tale of how a country with a functional (albeit flawed) democracy ended up handing absolute control to someone who could never claim a majority in an actual election and whom the entire conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following. An Imperfect analogy, to be sure, but still offers a number of similarities to contemporary American conservatism and the MAGA movement. Fascinating read. www.amazon.com/Takeover-Hitlers-Final-Rise-Power/dp/0593537424?ots=1&tag=thneyo0f-20&linkCode=w50&dplnkId=916576a5-5e53-4232-82f3-935a163119e9&nodl=1

We’re also not a party that is thick with antisemites right now.We also got suspended without pay people who don’t agree with our opinion.

An authoritarian figure (with serious mental issues) whose platform was essentially “make Germany great again?" Followed by a group of advisors/sycophants with clear white nationalist/proto-fascist sympathies? A leader who, over and over again, demonizes marginalized groups ("diseased," "vermin")? Who calls the media "the enemy of the people?" A following that includes a hard-core cadre of violent anti-semitic groups?" Any of yhis ringing a bell or two? You better check yourself, Herr Holiday.

Also, can we stop cheapening the term “Nazi” by yelling it out like every 5th post simply because we don’t like someone else's politics? It’s simplistic, reductive, almost always misapplied, and devalues how abhorrent actual Nazis were.
Here’s an idea: Visit the Holocaust Museum in DC, or visit Dachau. See what real Nazis really did. Perhaps then one would not be so quick to casually referred to someone with a different political ideology as a “Nazi.”
