One time there was a woman one saying children can identify with their "true gender" as young as 3! Possibly even before they can speak! It's insanity!

Honest question: when you say defund, what does that mean? They're funded by donations and sponsorships mostly, and zero government money from what I see on their website

This is also on thier web site The IRS Form 990 is the annual federal information* return filed by all charitable corporations that are exempt from income tax.* The amounts in these statements are presented in accordance with IRS regulations, which in some cases are at variance with generally accepted accounting principles. Both NPR, Inc and NPR Foundation are 501(c)(3) organizations and are each required to file Form 990.

In addition to Form 990, NPR and NPR Foundation are each required to file form 990T to report any unrelated business income.**** ****start taxing this multi billion dollar propaganda company owned and operated by foreign entities, they lie to get their donations and don't pay taxes on anything, So we are funding it I would also say stop donating to it.But that's just me

Hey, thanks for your reply and apologies for the delay in my reply. This is definitely helpful to understand the concept of defunding people are talking about. What I am getting out of this is that we can't blame them for being a 501c3, it's a smart move on their part even though an obvious way to go about it, and it seems like the change to be made is less about 'How do we target this not-for-profit that we disagree with' and more about how to we strategically modify the 990 & 990T to increase transparency and accountability for accepting foreign money and how that money is used. It would not be ideal for say Saudi Arabia to hire a US citizen to found a nonprofit and then send a billion of their oil money to flood the airwaves with anti-US propaganda and limit the transparency of that arrangement. America should protect itself of ideological warfare from anti-American nations.

I agree with the idea that they spew fear-mongering marxism garbage all day, but, at the end of the day we have 1st amendment and our country was founded on dissent from the establishment, which is parallel to what they're doing and not a bad thing.

How do you think we should we should manifest the 'defunding' of NPR & similar orgs?

I would also say that tax exempt charities are not allowed to represent a political point using UN-taxed charitable funds, I be-leave that's in the tax code, hopefully there's a CPA that can school me on that thanks in advance

I listened the other day to an interview with a bird spotter - no more than 30 seconds in...’racism'. Not kidding: https://www.audubon.org/news/black-birders-week-promotes-diversity-and-takes-racism-outdoors

I’ve been playing a game for over a year: Listen to NPR. Turn off NPR at the fist mention or Racism, Sexism, Transgender/Gay anything...I’ve not listed to NPR for more than 10 minutes in the time I’ve been playing.
