bighairymike: Even NPR cannot stand on its own without government funding.

Umm: What percentage of government funding makes up NPRs budget? Take a guess.

No need to guess. NPR publishes that information (although evidently conservatives wouldn't take the sixty seconds it takes to find it).

On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments. Somehow, I think NPR would survive a 1% loss of funding.
