[quote=jstoesz]for the record I love NPR. Especially the This American Life and Radio Lab and planet money…programs. You all must check it out. Especially on your 6 hour drives to the mountains (maybe that is just my former self talking). But why in Gods name is my tax money going to pay for it? To be honest, I don’t even mind the lefties…There is some damn fine programming. Oh and their music website is absolutely amazing![/quote]
It’s called establishing culture.
Sure NPR could go commercial, and next thing you know it’s 18 minutes of ads an hour.
why do we spend tax money on parks, libraries and fountains?
Look, where my tax money shouldn’t go is to wall street. I have no problem with it going to fix the things I need.
