You think you managed to pretend I didn’t make a simple request.
Are you the one that was upset that I said that “NPR gets some money from the government.” instead of “The government doesn’t control NPR. NPR gets some money from the government.”? Your other comment was removed.
you are part of a group of people who intentionally misrepresent
No, I am not. Every institution of higher education in the country receives money from the federal government or state government, but that doesn’t make them centers for brainwashing students or pumping out propaganda. One organization having a relationship with or a connection to another does not mean that one organization controls another. It is not evidence of a conspiracy. The planet is not controlled by the Koch brothers, George Soros, and/or the lizard people.
NPR receives grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
According to CPB, in 2009 11.3% of the aggregate revenues of all public radio broadcasting stations were funded from federal sources, principally through CPB; in 2012 10.9% of the revenues for Public Radio came from federal sources.
Funding isn’t held hostage for the purpose of controlling content or anything like that, but NPR receives funds from the CPB, and the CPB receives funds from the government. I’m not sure why believing otherwise is so important to you.
A whole host of things are state-afilliated. That shouldn’t be conflated with ran by the state, or operated by the state, or controlled by the state, which is probably the concern. lemmy.world/comment/4454636

National Public Radio (NPR, stylized in all lowercase) is an American non-profit media organization … It differs from other non-profit membership media organizations such as the Associated Press, in that it was established by an act of Congress.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR

I recognize that twitter has its own stupid definition of what they mean when they label something as state-afilliated, and I don’t think NPR meets those standards.
