I have been a leadership circle donor as a public educator and single mom (i.e. not with $ to burn). When NPR states that ‘protests don’t make compelling news stories’, I question my decades of giving.

I give monthly to WUCF orlando. NPR had Bannon on because you need to get out of your silo and hear what they are saying. A) to protect yourself, B) to be able to contradict them and the followers. If all you listen too is left wing media you are no better than Fox viewers.

Respectfully, there is a difference to reporting what MAGA leaders say and giving them a legitimate platform on which to spew their bile. I will still support public radio, but that was an extremely bad move in their part - and it won’t save them from the gov’t.

You're caving to Trump every day. You accept Trump's framing on all issues. In that sense, yes, I can count on NPR, but that's also not much different than commercial media. I'm just about to stop my monthly donation to KUNC, and CPR because you're just another state media.

NPR Morning Edition had Steve Bannon on yesterday, and PBS News Hour has Chris Rufo on right now. What the fuck is wrong with you??? What possible reason is there to platform these lying assholes??? Fuck you, you pathetic worms.

NPR has FAILED on so many levels with this administration that I'm shocked you are peddling for donations. Didn't your president retract her comment that the turd was a fascist?? Maybe YOU should be allocating her SALARY to donations! $800, 000 is a lot of money for fundraising.

Not a dime. Don't care. From giving voice and amplifying idiots to interviews with Megan Trainer, to... Cowboy Carter tour is news? What the actual fuck? No. Also inskeep making fun of someone for not knowing a coffee drink? Go fuck yourself

Do you know what capitulating to abusers/fascists get you? You still get hit over and over again, only now you have fewer friends. What has compromising your integrity to appease conservatives gotten you? Fewer donations, and they still cut your funding out of spite.

Can you teach your young correspondents/reporters to stop answering questions “Yeah” and the actual answer??? It’s more annoying than peppering their response with “ummmm” every third word.

Donald Trump said he wasn't cutting Medicare or Medicaid! Well he just cut my medicare. They're now taking 182 out a month to pay what Medicaid was paying before! That's both cutting Medicare and Medicaid! I didn't vote for this!!! So they're taking from me to pay for tax cuts for the rich!!!🤬

I need to start donating again. I apologize that I had to cancel this year. But I had to find a new job & get back on my feet first. I just got a new job & things seem to be improving for me. I'm hoping to start my donation again by June. Maybe earlier. 🙏🏼❤️
