Why are Americans still paying for NPR?

Why are the taxpayers still subsidizing NPR? Does anyone know?

They spew their daily left wing, uppity, radical, Marxist, Statist rhetoric drumbeat. And actually that's fine with me. I don't object to their competing for the brain cells of my parents age citizens. Bring on the competition! Let's see who's ideas will prevail. But don't make the taxpayers subsidize their minority view and give them a platform and an air of authority.

Let NPR sell advertising like the defunct Air America and the other Communist pseudo-news outlets! Now more than ever, while the economy is in the toilet, lets cut out the PORK and not require the majority fund the minority point of view.

I'm just sayin'...
