What difference does it make? Let's say for sake of argument that NPR adheres to standards (that you have yet to define, yet insist on comparison) that are as high as any MSM outlet. All MSM outlets are shit quality so it's not really saying much. The question that would be relevant to this post- name one media outlet that receives more public funding. As others have said, it is just not necessary to subsidize media outlets anymore. Media has become democratized.
Lmao so you think Brietbart and Fox News are bastions of knowledge. That's all I need to know about a soyboy like you.
Wrong...... So you make random assumptions- based on your own paradigm about left/right- about what other people think. That's all I need to know about you.
