- It’s not only an innocent question, it’s a noble one: WHAT IF, speculated a life-long reporter, National Pubic Radio concentrated more on reporting the facts fairly and accurately and less time on ever more left-wing propaganda for an ever-shrinking viewership? FIVE DAYS UNPAID SUSPENSION! And therein lies the fault line between Classical Liberals and Modern Progressives.

Why are taxpayers paying for NPR?
That’s a good point
Mando... Like the 7 trillion budget. No one wants the fluff
NPR: National Propaganda Radio.😡
National Panhandler Radio.
That's good. I'm going to use that!
Proletariat
Defund NPR
No, the people should seize their airwaves and sell them to the highest bidder with the proceeds going to the government.
I hate it that my taxes pay for NPR propaganda.
Defund NPR.
You're going to hear "NPR/PBS federal funding is just a tiny bit of their budget....."
Great!!! Then they won't miss it will they???
Interesting that they say that every time there is a move to try and defund them, yet they will fight tooth and nail to try and preserve it. So apparently not that small of a piece of their pie.
How can one scam some serious money out of them?
It's about 30% when you combine direct federal funding with the much larger federal block grants to states in support of keeping a public system in place. It funnels right to NPR.
Losing 30% income would be devastating to the affiliate stations and many would go out of business. And the govt should allow it to happen. Theu can use C-Span in an emergency.
4.29.24. NPR/Pravda
Exactly. Been saying that for 20 years now.
I quit NPR when their President Jefferson expert Clay Jenkinson said he couldn’t support Donald Trump running for the presidency because Trump didn’t sound presidential. NPR has never given DJT a break from their lies about him. I’d like to ask Clay Jenkinson if Biden sounds presidential enough to pass his muster?
NPR is not free. We are paying for it whether we listen to it or not. Just like so many other government agencies. Paying if it benefits US or not !
Government propaganda radio. Guess who pays for PRavda? The people, whether they read it or not. Sounds familiar?
NOT any more for a long time.
10% of NPR funding comes from government, the rest is donation or private grant. Just sayin'. With only 10% funding it should be easy to eliminate it.
It costs the unsuspecting brain cells
I don't listen to NPR because I don't give the insanity an audience, I will not listen to people who are devoid of reality and claim the moral high ground for that lack of reality. And lastly I will not be insulted daily by listening to their propaganda , which I pay for, just so they can tell me how I have sinned because of my political affiliation, yet they are the pious of us all.
To paraphrase Heywood Banks, "If it weren't for their delusions, they'd have nothing to believe."
Fun fact. In the 1980's, a Cleveland lawyer was watching public broadcasting and was yelling at the television screen so much that his then girlfriend told him, "If you know so much about how it is supposed to be done, why don't YOU do it?" Almost immediately, the lawyer was on the phone with the local PBS station asking for a job as a host. If you are a regular viewer of Bill Whittle, you probably also tune in very frequently to that lawyer who later returned to South Central where he had been a major Calivulcanologist (a scientist who specializes in that socio-political-economic volcano commonly called California), because that Cleveland lawyer was none other than our own Larry Elder!
Nice! Here in SoCal waiting for El Durski to be a regular on AM again, hopefully back in the afternoon drive home spot like he had on 790 KABC and NOT the stupid wasteland of 9PM that Salem (870 KRLA) gave him. Take care!
@@fly1327 I call the place Cali, because I had the misfortune to be brought up there, and I wanted to be in Jersey.
I used to listen to NPR until I returned from a military deployment & listened to a spot about sexual harassment in the military, then a spot about how great the medical care is in Cuba, & finally a spot where the George Bush administration was evaluated by an author who wrote a hit piece on Bush. That’s the last time I listened to it. - Tom Doughty
thank you so much for your service to our country. BTW, I can't figure out how anybody can say that NPR has been anything but "leftist" since the mid 80's at least. I quit listening when Reagan was doing a great job bringing the country out of the Carter disaster. I used to donate to and listen regularly back in the 70's but the country should quit extracting money from its citizens to support the one sided commie crap that NPR calls 'news". I am really not surprised that Scott still listens to the crap radio. He says he is conservative but doesn't always play the man. imo
I to use to listen to NPR when I drove a big rig , back then they were liberal ,but somewhat balanced , then after the war in Iraq they went all left , all the time. Sounds like they are a lot worse now.
DEFUND this propaganda machine. DEFUND NPR NOW. Call your senators.
_Do you remember Air America_
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣The best thing about Air America was hearing Rush mercilessly mock and ridicule them!
Voice of America. Air America was the CIA airline.
Yes, & I remember Sam Seder constantly referring to Rush as the "pig man"; & once I heard him say that Rush ought to be killed.
They wrote a Book about how Air America was making a real difference, about how they were bringing truth to America , two weeks later they were ,done ,closed , out of business , taking a permanent vacation . Lol yeah they were doing a great job .
@dangreene3895 they provided an excellent example for Rush to point out for far _far_ longer than they actually existed.
NPR removed its online public comment section in 2016, claiming they did not have the resources to police "trolls" creating discontent. Ironic that an alleged public broadcaster for the people removed the feedback forum by it's audience. Of course, the reason why is they could not abide its viewers and readers calling NPR out for omissions, politcal bias, and outright lies. NPR was shocked to discover its audience was smarter than they thought, so they had to silence them.
Nat Geo removed their members forum for the same reason. The massive backlash they were getting from people sick of hearing about global warming etc. They turned political and with an OBVIOUS bias. I dropped them just like we did NPR.
In the 1990s I used to joke that the NPR show “All Things Considered” should have been renamed “All Liberal Things Considered!”
Why should the average American fund this “stuff?”
Oh, and there is nothing democratic about the Democrats Party!
I always called in All Things Distorted.
@@paulfelkner6749how about “nothing important considered”?
I never listen to NPR; it only encourages them. 😅
I actually gave money to NPR! How naive I was.
I think this was clear as day when Juan Williams was dismissed for daring to ask a fair and balanced question.
NPR would/will still exist without taxpayer support. Time to let them go.
CPB/PBS/NPR Break up this tax payer monopoly.
I haven't listened to NPR in decades.
My Dad called NPR, National Perverted Radio.
National Pinko Radio
Scott is transitioning to Karl Marx right before our eyes.
NPR has always been infatuated with marxists. If you listen to NPR regularly over the last 40 years, you would have to be deaf to miss this.
The American people need to defund NPR.
NPR echo chamber
Jefferson said, "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." That is what I have against NPR and PBS. A man ought not be forced to support ideas with which he disagrees!
never interrupt the enemy while they are making a mistake.
Turn it up NPR!
I knew this 10+ years ago. They played NPR in the office I worked in. NPR could NOT broadcast as single positive thing about a conservative issue to save it's life. I HATE NPR and the fact that MY taxes are paying for it.
Alternate viewpoints will not be tolerated.
I work at a public radio station, and I hear it five days a week. Berliner is 100% correct.
And his whole point in the article was that only a narrow window of thought is now acceptable at NPR. If they wanted to prove him wrong they could have come out publicly and said we thought his article was thoughtful and well written. And while we disagree with his conclusion he's welcome to it. Instead they proved his entire point far more effectively than his article ever could. SMH.
I had a 25 year old truck with a broken radio. It wouldn’t allow me to change stations. The preset stations allowed me to choose between Ranchero music or NPR. I was equally disgusted with both options but had to go with NPR since I’m a music lover and don’t speak Spanish. Every single day NPR had stories about man made global warming and under served communities which exclusively focused on Black communities. Apparently, no other race is underserved.😂 Eventually, I had to turn it off.
If you notice the NPR stickers on Prius cars and look at the orange haired woman driving, you have your answer. Just TONE of NPR sounds like something from 1984. It makes my skin crawl.
NPR is definitely a place to hear radical feminist thought and propaganda.
"The effect of the mass media is not to elicit belief but maintain the apparatus of addiction." -Christopher Lasch
"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed."
-Mark Twain
NPR's breathless whispering is the chosen tone of the Dims now.
"They're not reaching the people they purport to love".
Well ... who they REALLY love ... is themselves. Because they're so much smarter and better than we are.
In their own minds, maybe.
They've gone south since they canned Garrison Keillor.
I long for the days when I enjoyed Car Talk; Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me; Prairie Home Companion and the ilk.
Should be called National propaganda radio
I think Scott might be the guy who repeatedly touches a hot stove, hoping that ONE DAY the stove will wake up and not burn him. Personally, I'm glad he doesn't play around at train crossings.
Living up to the name National Propaganda Radio. Goebels would be proud.
A few years ago I believe I read that NPR would still be in the black if gov funding were removed. So it might not cease to exist, but at least it would be out in the open market & not subsidized by tax dollars.
That's only if one only removes direct federal funding. But when one combines that with the huge federal block grants to states in support of public broadcasting (which flows through to NPR), it comes to @ 30% of their organizational financing. Would be devastating to lose that. Thats why they always fight defending so hard.
Excellent video ! Thanks to everyone !
Not Particularly Relevant!
The history of NPR. they HOGGED up all the 50 kilowatt station so that local community and colleges can never have a FM station for their own.........
Radio Free America gets them here and NPR finishes them off.
I've always known NPR as National Propaganda Radio. I'm 65.
Even a word from these demons and monsters is too much. I literally can't hear their voices without repulsion. I feel assaulted, threatened. Anyone else?
Disgust and a justifiable hatred.
NPR Neo Pravda Radio
NPR should rename itself to National Progressive Radio to be true to their content.
We need to remove all public monies and taxes from NPR and PBS budgets. Any tax money going to a news group, ie the 4th estate, is akin to state propaganda and un-american.
Defund NPR!
Peter Boghossian did a 5-part podcast last year called “All Things Re-considered,” which took a critical look at NPR. Very good conversation.
Scott, yours is the beardiest beard to ever beard.
it;s looks unkempt
@@TheresaPowers birds are nesting in there, so it can’t be easy to control.
That's what covid does to some people apparently.
He looks like an Orthodox Bishop. 😂
I have a beard to hide my face, sparing the public. I don't know why Scott would wear one, tho.
My friend listens to NPR all day long. My only problem with it is she won't tolerate me scoffing at or rebutting the nonsense being broadcast.
"....far left and extreme left..." -- great statement !!
NPR- National Pravda Radio It's all true, we swear 💂
National Pinko Radio.
Way to GO --BRAVO for this segment on NPR's extreme lef😊tist bias,!!!
"all things considered", i think I'll change the station. I don't like being lied to, it's insulting.
It really was worth listening too but that was a long, long time ago before those pesky constitution lovers began waking up.
Back in the early mid 2000s I took a shuttle to the Metro to get to work and the driver always had NPR on. So one day I listened to a whole day of that crap as an experiment and what did I hear. Pro "right" war, pro eugenics, green, animal rights, anti smoking, anti drinking, anti liberty, pro managerial class, music by the three Bs and I realized who their prototype listener was. Adolf Hitler
Ok I am so glad that you and others are covering this. I felt so alone for years. I noticed how they have changed and would talk about it to my friends and colleagues but they didn't want to see it they called me names and abandoned me. Thank you!!!
What do you do when a german goes off the reservation. You of course suspend him from NPR.
I used to listen in the Car Talk day's, but no more!
If NPR is funded by the federal govt. or "we the people", why is there not equal broadcasting time / programs between left liberal and right conservative formats? It seems to me that NPR is NOT following their DEI policies. I am sure there are numerous laws on the books concerning federal entities discriminating against fairness in their operation. Looks like an opportunity to me.
If they followed the DEI policies, the station would change format to rap/hiphop and cantina music.
Scott needs to be with a major network doing journalism.
3 In 10 thought NPR was trustworthy. Makes sense, although I'm a little shocked that I'm so uninformed. I didn't realize that NPR is still on the air.
When driving in traffic, I have a habit of (sometimes) tuning in to NPR when I'm stopped at a red light - invariably, the story on NPR is from a "shopping list" of various liberal causes ..
from some homosexual playwright from eastern Europe, to abortion access, to transgender affirmation surgery of minors... their agenda is quite transparent (at least to me) !
We need to get rid of the CPB. If you want listener or watcher-supported media, then let the public vote with their dollars.
It is ALWAYS a BAD mistake to allow your government to fund, or run, a media business! A corollary to this law would be, NO single individual should own ANY stock or control in more than one media group, brand or outlet!!
A Journalist who is also a Jelly Donut. . .what are the chances??? Probably 100%
The slow march through the institutions
Scott's pushing the envelope with that beard.
Scott - next stop Duck Dynasty!
Anyone who doesn't think this had been going on since 1980 just liked the propaganda they were spouting.
A new CEO means nothing to narrow minded people who work for the government.
Time to shave Scott….
The NPR audience will be mainly made up of current and future PERS recipients.
I don't know where these fellows are coming from with their memories of NPR going nutzoid-left in the last decade. I remember it being the case in the 1970s. Very different issues and times, yes, but ideologically every bit as rigid and unyielding.
Driving rentals around CA and then at home in Europe 80's-90's, it was NPR/PBS for me.
But the Woke rot became a whiff then a stink rising to the ultimately unbearable. Same with BBC. Be careful in the shower Scott, when you reach down for the soap with NPR around.
NPR used to be amazing! It's a hollow shell of its previous self. It's time to defund it.
NPR garbage
the minute you have a zillion little "splinter groups" built on traits, it's time to file chapter 13 an shut the doors. The business failed.
Sorry guys, I've never known NPR to be anything close to fair. I seem to recall Regan wanted to defund it.
I liked the classical music and the car guys Click and Clack. Miss them and the music, not the stupid leftwing brainwashing.
13:35 THIS! The Paramount decision was the darkest day in the history of cinema.
Holy Moses!!!
The guy has a substake which is a pay to read blog site. His profile just boomed. He did not get 5 days off without pay. He got 5 days to earn a whole heap of money while reading job offers from conservative news sites.
I used to love listening to NPR, because I love classical music, and you could get an in depth take on world events that you couldn't get on commercial networks, (though they were still fairly liberal), but that's been nearly 40 years ago.
Edward Bernays would be proud of NPR
Sounds like working at Veterans Affairs.
The last woman with blue hair left listening is scott
Not "can't do it.". Think "won't do it."
I similarly eves-drop on NPR each morning as a means to get the low-down on what the enemy is up to. If anything, they certainly are consistent . . . and somewhat predictable.
I just can't watch or listen to MSM or NPR or PBS , don't have to, and my throat gets sore hollering at the radio or TV
As an adolescent in the ‘80s, I tried listening to NPR while we were in range on a road trip. It was slow, quiet, calm, and dictatorial, like when I had been in hippies’ kids’ kindergarten, so alarm bells sounded. Also, I was worried we would fall asleep and crash the car. I did find their delighted bias notable, having been suffocated by Reagan Republican culture. However, I learned fast that NPR was even more suffocating, to be expected from affluent Marxists of course, so I’m still shocked today that good libs never figured it out. One episode of Lake Wobegon was fun every few years though.
Watched on rumble
It's worse than this. Mr. Berliner mentioned the new CEO in his article, and talked her up in a hopeful way, that she was something of an outsider coming into the role from a completely different industry, so maybe she's exactly what NPR needs to break out of its echo chamber.
Not even a week later, she responded to Berliner's article, saying emphatically no, NPR and its current types of listeners are _FINE,_ thank you very much; that anyone who doesn't understand how great NPR is, the way it is right now, is just an ignorant jerk not worth reaching anyway; and that Berliner needs to go sit in the corner and think about what he said.
