Leave NPR alone.
Quote: Grants do not work the way you seem to think they do. There are generally few "strings" attached to them.That's the problem. To begin with, the money provided for those government grants are not coming out of the Washington lawmakers pockets. That money is coming out of the taxpayers pockets. To throw our money away like that without some responsible oversight as to how it's spent is one reason why our country is $1.5 trillion in debt.
I don't care how government grants work, the money is still coming out of the taxpayers pockets, (Washington finds it pretty easy to throw other peoples money around). NPR has a history of intolerance toward opposing viewpoints and open debates. Why should my money fund that kind of forum? NPR should be cut off from the taxpayers dole.
