However NPR has no more or less value than any other commercial media news outlet..therefore it does not deserve public funding.

NPR was more informative with raw news before the Bush Administration bastardized it. In it's current form it's news has been sterilized to the point of uninformative. But NPR still has great programming like Car Talk, All Things Considered, All Songs Considered, Fresh Air, and Talk of the Nation. I wouldn't throw NPR under the bus, just because the Bush Administration screwed with it's news segments.

I shudder the thought of living in America without PBS and NPR.
