Midknight Review -- new and revised: NPR only gets 1% of its funding from the Government? 3% ? Maybe 10 or 15 percent ? Maybe the Government owns NPR, in effect???

We are commonly told that NPR only gets one to three percent of its funding from the Feds. So why do we have this headline:

Michael O'Brien / The Hill:
NPR says it's ‘imperative’ that its federal funding not be cut

The fact of the matter is this: NPR has more than 900 affiliate stations. There has to be a system in effect that funnels Federal funds from the affiliates back to the Corporation that is in addition 1 to 3 percent NPR admits to receiving from the government. If not, it would be a simple matter for NPR to make a 1 to 3 percent expense adjustment and move on. In fact, George Soros should be able to match the deleted funds. The apparent fact is this: NPR receives much more than what it admits to, hence the problem mentioned in the headline.

Point of post: the Marxists among us have more of a communication system in place than anyone had previously imagined. NPR is a critical aspect of that system. Those 900 affiliates? Compare this to the 730 stations in the Limbaugh kingdom. NPR is huge.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
