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?
