An oft repeated myth.

I was listening to an interesting discussion of what the attack on NPR is about. Big city NPR would be unaffected, their listener base and local sponsors can pay for them even without Fed funding. What's at risk is the rural small town NPR stations. Rush, Clear Channel, Beck and Hannity are LOSING LISTENERS. Where are they going? NPR? Which has recently started longer range AM broadcasts? I knew Rush and Beck were losing listeners but Hannity as well? There is a God. The (R)'s are afraid that rural, Red State America might hear some truth! And they desperately need the truth. Talk about getting sold a can of worms. They are getting screwed over big time.

If conservative talk radio were losing to NPR even in small towns, then NPR clearly wouldn't need government funding at all. Course your premise is a bunch of hooey. Government funded news is propaganda, by definition.
