Do you have figures for the percentage that come from individuals, how
much
from advertising (which the NPR folks like to call corporate support), how
much from the generally left-leaning foundations, and how much from
gummint
broadcasting bureaucracies? I recall hearing that the latter category is
about 10%.


Do your own research!

So you made the assertion above with nothing to back you up?

Why not, you just did the same thing, "I recall hearing that the latter
category is about 10%", recall from where?

Although I personally have supported our PBS and NPR, even though they
are in another country, and have both watched and listened to many
pledge drives, so, yes I'm pretty damn certain that they get funding
from actual people.

Ever notice who gets mentioned last when an NPR station talks about where
its funding comes from? While it's accurate to say they get some funding
from actual people, that statement is at best incomplete.


They get most of their funding from actual people, who are actually
breathing, who actually vote, who actually drive cars, which is at best an
incomplete statement.

I did my own research! Try it sometime.
