Outrage over NPR's firing of Juan Williams

97% of NPR's funding comes from private donations from all over the country.

That's all well and good, as long as none of our tax money is helping to support it.

All of Fox News' funding comes from - Rupert Murdock.

...and none of Fox News' funding comes from the taxpayers.

Fox News doesn't receive any direct funding from the federal government. But neither does NPR. Yes, you read that right: NPR gets absolutely no direct federal funding. Zilch, nada, zippo.

Oh come on! That's absolute Bull! NPR is still on the receiving end of taxpayers support. When taxpayer supported public broadcasting espouses an intolerant agenda that does not allow for open debate, then federal dollars should be cut off. All federal taxpayer funding, direct or indirect, should not be flowing to NPR.

Fox News doesn't receive any direct funding from the federal government.

...unlike NPR, Fox News doesn't receive federal taxpayers support of any kind, direct or indirect, as also stated by the "Jed Report"...
"It makes as much sense as my proposal to ban federal funding for Fox News. Which, for the record, was a proposal made in jest. I really don't care if federal funding for Fox is banned. Because there isn't any."
