Why not count the grants? If NPR doesn't need government funding, why are Liberals all up in arms over their budget being cut? How is it fair to free press outlets, such as the New York Times, to pay taxes that go to a state ran media outlet that competes unfairly against them? I thought Liberals were supportive of free press. Why not just support truly free outlets, instead of propaganda machines, such as RT, NPR, and others?
