Imogen<p>I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, if NPR only gets 1 or 2 percent of its funding from the Federal Government, it would be in their best interest to walk away. That can be made up elsewhere and it would remove any talking points. In the long term they would be better off. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPR</span></a></p>
