Not with my money
I listen to NPR on the way to, and from, the train every day. It wakes me up early in the morning and keeps me awake when I’m coming back home tired from work. It is almost certain that one of the segment aired on NPR during the 15-20 minutes I’m in the car will upset me so much that I will be fully awake and upset. Here is an example how the public radio, who demand the right to funds its activity from my tax money misrepresent one of the pillars of my world view.
It is OK for a radio station to misrepresent issues. It is OK also to report unfairly and even to bend the truth. The only thing that I really object to is the fact that I am being coerced to pay for this. What ever the flag the people behind NPR carrying, it is not mine and the notion that the station, and its affiliates, are entitled to receive the tax payers money - simply because they need it - is immoral.
