I used to depend on NPR, but then you acted like inclusive and informed opinions are just as valid as fascist ones. I realize you're for the public but your responsibility is to inform the public, not validate anti-American ideals.

I really enjoyed Marketplace and their constant important reporting on inflation and painful consumer prices during the Biden administration. Why'd they stop?

Wish we could help can’t help we’re getting screwed to a lot of money costing us to survive

Where did that money go? It’s hot like he is giving it back to us…

Of course he did. He only likes lies!

I gave $500 to both my local stations but now I’m wondering whether it should’ve set up $100 a month instead

Hey those golf outings aren’t going to pay for themselves. Did you know that by my calculations, Trump has spent approximately 250,000 “donated annual salaries” of a President on golf.

Well now we have no reason to hold back on calling him out for being best friend and probably a customer of a sex trafficker.

This is your cue to stop both-sides-ing and have the courage to speak out unambiguously against fascism. People might be more inclined to support you if you weren't constantly sanewashing this authoritarian regime and its actions.

Finally. People who like the kind of journalism NPR does can now support it themselves. The rest of us are off the hook :)

I'll donate to actual journalism. Excited to watch NPR's both sides coverage die because they couldn't properly call out the fascism.

And your donations are tax deductible!

😡

Should probably post this on Twitter to get those republicans to pony up. You know, the ones you desperately courted for the past few years? See if they will empty their pocketbooks for you.

That being said, I'm genuinely sad that public news are losing their funding just because they didn't praise dictator enough.

Full fascism. Are you indifferent?

They're not going to stop. They don't care if fascism takes hold for some reason.

Even in complex times, NPR strives to report facts, without bias, in a way that Americans can understand. However, the organization allegedly sacrifices babies to its alien overlords under liberal chemtrails. NPR has not yet corroborated these allegations. MTG could not be reached for comment.

You are right, they are sad. This isn’t doing directly, but the inability to be honest that we have a center right party (democrats) and a crazy extremist party…. That’s the problem.

😡

Also, donald trump rapes underage girls as well as adult women.

Done.

1 or 3 Mega Hollywood Stars or even a Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce could put up 10 million each and Fund NPR. THAT WOULD PISS OFF DOUCHEBAG DONNY BIGLY !!!

Now life has thrown me more than I can handle, and I would never reach out if this weren’t urgent. It weighs heavily on my heart — but I still trust in our compassion and shared humanity. Your kindness could make all the difference. If you can help🙏💙 gofund.me/0af928df

BOOOOO!

You bent the knee and he still shit on you. Be smarter

Now you have the freedom to report truth and facts w/o fear of pissing off Republicans. Get to it.

Done

I’m going to need you to step up to defend democracy. Can you do that?

Not donating to bullshit journalism. NPR signed their own death and I'm excited to watch that happen.

Their journalism is scared to call the right what it is. I'm not helping save them. They didn't help save democracy.

What’s the business plan?

How many Democrats voted for this? Any Republicans? You guys think you should ever mention that? Make it so no one whoever listens to your station can be confused about who the assholes are? Because you're not there yet. Not even close.

So the crisis wasn't when they promised to do this in Project 2025 and then lied about that not being the plan and then you both sided it? Oh. Did your PR person who's supposed to be running a news organization resign yet?

Buy a gun if you can own one legally lobby captured politicians have left democracy undefended in order to make a profit and now fascist or at the top

I can't imagine my local station dissapearing. It is truly the only way I can keep up with the world. I can catch 20 min of fox news in the morning for local weather and a couple highlights, then NPR on my drive to work and get deep dives in a short period. It is a comfort to hear balanced news.

Just another way of getting America to shut up about Trump’s / Vought’s fascist government operations.

The good news is that WUNC just had a 3 day fundraiser that took in more than 1 million $$. Unfortunately smaller stations in less liberal places will not be able to mirror this!

Is this you GTFO fund, fascist?

So does this mean you guys will start covering trump as a racist authoritarian?

We’ll support you, as long as you return to your original mission of being an independent voice. For years, NPR has reacted to threats of funding cuts, by trying to appease the right with “both-siding” issues, and look where it’s got you! Promise/Deliver the truth and the people will support you.

Wasn't worth reporting on the No Kings Day protest though. Not newsworthy.

Don't look at us. We're struggling to afford healthcare and food!🤷🏾‍♀️

How much to make you stop running cover for the GOP?

Congress passed the act. Trump signed it.

I’ve been a member of KQED for several years, because they’ve been chipping away at PBS’s funding for a long time.

I gave up on you guys in the first few weeks of the Trump administration because you kept having on Republicans from Texas instead of covering this administration’s return like the crisis it was. LOUDLY. Of course, I blame Trump and the Republicans but it’s NOT business as usual in the U.S.

How to figure out the Trump budget: “ Does it help Americans?” “Yes” “Cut it”

This. I'll happily watch NPR fail.

OMG GOP WTF

I wonder why… Give this some heat folks; bsky.app/profile/awak...

You'd get a lot more public support if you actually treated the crisis as a crisis, not business as usual. As it stands, your capitulation to the fascists has killed the support of your most ardent donors. Shame on everyone at NPR that decided to comply in advance. Your reward is this bill.

Why did you run stories that elided trump’s plans during the campaign? Why did you, and why do you continue to, put out “both sides”takes? NPR is one of the better outlets but still complicit through their own inaction

GOP fascism

The path to dictatorship.....

Can we see a preview of what sort of reporting NPR will be working on going forward?

Defund us. Defund you. Defund everything but them. The “Golden” Age

Can you put a donation meter up so we can see how fast we blow past 1.1 B?

Lol NPR got what they deserved. I heard so much pro Trump nonsense before the election. They wanted this
