I agree with this concept generally but I have a little bit of misplaced confusion in regard to NPR. If you look at the correlation of where NPR gets its money from, relative to how bad their "journalism" (or whatever the proper term is for their product now) there is a pretty good trend that as the % of their funding come from fewer larger private donors things go from good (depending on your opinion) to really really disastrously bad. Now it is true some correlations are spurious and this may be one of them. But if it is not, then by pulling out our small individual funding are we continuing the trend and making things worse? I mean I stopped my NPR donations too, and I know not what the right answer is, I am just voicing an unresolved thought that has been plaguing me for a couple of years now in the hopes that someone with better perspective on this issue might see it and provide me with some better food-for-thought to resolve it.
