NPR receives a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce. This funding amounts to less than 1% of revenues.
My point is that having news organizations be held to account publicly for their biases through congressional means only makes sense if their coverage is being paid for by the government.
"Germany spends $142.42 per person on its public media. Norway spends $110.73, Finland $101.29, Denmark $93.16. Leave Scandinavia for Western Europe and you see the U.K. at $81.30, France at $75.89, and Spain at $58.25. Heading a bit east? The Czech Republic’s at $60.08, Estonia $55.70, and Lithuania $32.71.
Only trust the Anglosphere? Try Australia $35.78, New Zealand $26.86, or Canada $26.51. How about Asia? Japan spends $53.15, South Korea $14.93. Africa? Botswana’s at $18.38, Cabo Verde $15.22.
And then there’s the United States — which spends $3.16, per person, per year, on public broadcasting. Ten quarters, four dimes, five nickels, and a penny."
Please, just stop with your nonsense.
Edit: looked up the source for your claims. The article says Musk is 100 percent correct and was written by a contributor to Brietbart news. Looks like another person is about to get blocked.

In 2020 NPR got 23% of its funding from the federal government, and in 2023 PBS got 39% of its funding from the federal government.

None of that refutes anything in the article lol
Good grief, engaging politically with you people is such a mistake
Arguing in bad faith is a mistake. Blocked.
Learn from it and improve! There’s always time to grow.
I appreciate your work.
