PBS & NPR: Cutting the cord

PBS & NPR: Cutting the cord - NetRight Daily:
"...NPR and PBS still receive over $400 million in federal funding each year. 
...Yes, like their “commercial” brethren, publicly subsidized broadcasters unabashedly sell sponsorships to corporations (horror of horrors) and foundations. 
...Or you may actually find some of the content offensive or insufferably biased. 
Consider this NPR annotation of President Trump’s recent address to Congress, which reads more like talking points from the DNC than a news report.  
Appropriate for Rachel Maddow or progressive talk radio — absolutely!  But this time, your tax dollars paid for it.
Yet, according to its own published “Audience Profile,” NPR brags to commercial sponsors that its audience skews heavily toward the wealthy and powerful.  
NPR listeners are:

• 74 percent more likely than other Americans to earn greater than $100,000 in annual income;
• 133 percent more likely than other Americans to be top management; and
• 148 percent more likely than other Americans to be C-Suite executives.

In other words, you may not watch PBS or listen to NPR, but your boss might and your boss’ boss probably does. 
And the CPB wants you to keep paying for them..."
