The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds a lot of NPR programming.

Let Bill Gates buy NPR and call it MSNPR...

Zionist sponsored

NPR is refusing to report on Atlanta Jewish Times calls for the assassination of Obama.

AJT committed a crime

in a Zionist world, racist murder goes unpunished.

Why use a two camera setup for just one person? I don't get it.

You listen to npr so you know that npr hardly ever, almost never tows the government line and receives very little, I think 9% of their funding, from public money. Also their bias is minuscule as compared to any corporate media source from either side of the spectrum, in short it's the fairest news outlet I know of. Like it or not, npr represents one of the last bastions of journalist integrity in modern media even if they do lean left. Which, as I mentioned, isn't much as compared to the rest.

[SpacePopeIII]

To me the problem with the BBC and NPR is their bias. I think the point behind government news is to deliver unbiased news, and if it was funded JUST by the government then there should be no real bias. Where as say, if the CokeaCola corporation gave them money then they might have a reason to like Coke more than Pepsi (if they did a report on soda)

[dmbry]

But it's not "the government" news, it's the people's news. Hence, public radio, paid for with public funds, not government funds (even if it's distributed by them, it's our money).

Where's my $10,000,000 a year? :(

I find it very odd that many of you conservatives/libertarians have no problems with private organizations giving you biased information, yet when the government does it you throw a fit. I say let both of them have a voice and you as a listener have a job to hear both sides of the story. In Canada we have a lot more media public media, however we still have private media to call B.S on public media scandals. Thank you Penn on another great video, you are truly someone who hears both sides.
