I wish that were true. But 2% number is essentially disinformation. NPR gets a large portion of its budget from affiliate stations, which are funded by the government.
kinda true but also misleading without adding more facts. vermont public receives ~10% of revenue from the CPD ($2,044,000). they spent a total of $2,253,926 on "Program acquisitions" in 2024. it's not clear from their financial report how much of this goes to NPR license fees. so you are sharing as much disinformation as anybody. https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/5b/64/62bb42da4ec8b5f858176dc4...
Similar to the one he made to Harvard? Do they even have to make such a thing explicitly these days? I would just assume they won't fund anything that's critical to the current government.
"Defunded" NPR gets less than 2% of their income from the government. Defunding them isn't as big of a deal as claims appear.

An odd claim, since NPR getting defunded is itself a retaliation from the current administration for not reporting positively enough about Trump.
Oh yeah I'm predicting a claim will be made I disagree with. But I can imagine the mental gymnastics, post a prediction and watch for the outcome.
Usually there's a shakedown, did Trump ever make NPR an offer they "couldn't" refuse?
