Last I checked, they both get less than 10% of their funding from the government, and that amount is less than 0.5% of our military budget.
I’m not surprised by this, but it needs to be said:
They need an efficiency checker for their efficiency checkers. In and of itself, trying to defund NPR and PBS is just wasting money and time on virtue signalling, or the right’s equivalent. So doge is off to a great start, lol.
While this is broadly true, it’s important to remember that individual PBS and NPR stations can have pretty dramatically different funding breakdowns. Stations in big cities will barely even notice this, but stations in more rural areas can often depend pretty heavily on government funding. The last thing rural America needs right now is even less access to non-corporate media.

So if they only get 10 percent from gov, then no problem if that charity goes away.
They’re nonprofits. That 10% is probably crucial.
If people like them so much, then won’t be much of an ask to ask them to donate 10 percent more than they do now.
Plus they won’t have to worry about the big bad Republicans ever again.
