NPR’s meltdown over losing $1.1B in taxpayer cash via H.R.4 proves the point: public media became a luxury liner for coastal elites, not a lifeboat for rural America. Maher cries about “irreversible loss” while stations in Trump country kept afloat by repurposed Biden-era funds.

Emergency alerts? Vital. Woke lectures masquerading as news? Not so much. Two-thirds of Americans support funding? Try two-thirds of D.C. bureaucrats.

If NPR’s programming were truly essential, listeners would fund it—not taxpayers forced to bankroll partisan echo chambers.

Follow the money trail and see who really benefits:
