Vivian Schiller “warns” Republicans that cutting funding to NPR could shut down 900 radio stations

nprsuxHey Vivian. You aren’t doing yourself or National Progressive Radio any favors with this veiled threat. This is actually a good thing and even more of an incitive to cut off NPR’s funding! Let George Soros and Arianna Zsa Zsa Huffington float the bill for NPR! According to Fox News, Schiller, the NPR CEO and President Vivian Schiller is “warning” that radio stations in rural and undeserved areas offer

“more than 38 million Americans with free over-the-air programming they can’t find anywhere else.”

38 million are subjected to the propaganda network? ugh. All the more reason to defund.

“The public values and increasingly relies on the trustworthy news and information that public radio provides,” Schiller said in a statement. “The growing number of public radio listeners speaks to the hunger for independent local media sources that help make sense of what’s going on in their own community and around the world.”
