11. I hate to tell you folks this....
But the percentage is a lot more than what shows up on the chart.

Every donation to NPR is tax deductible.

So that means there is an incentive for people and corporations to donate to NPR and PBS and that incentive comes from the federal government.

If that incentive was removed, there would be a drastic drop in sponsorship.

I just don't understand why everyone on the right is so upset about Juan Williams. He is a hack who should have been let go a long time ago from NPR. He is a self promoting ideologue and tainted the network right from the get go.
