Money Drain

NPR got money for nothing:

The grant was intended to improve NPR’s “fairness, balance, objectivity” and ensure NPR meets its “obligation to include diverse viewpoints,” CPB explained at the time: “The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) has awarded a $1.9 million grant to NPR to help further strengthen its editorial operations and meet the challenges of producing 24/7 news content on multiple platforms that consistently adheres to the highest standards of editorial integrity – accuracy, fairness, balance, objectivity, and transparency, and the obligation to include diverse viewpoints.” “Specifically, the grant will enable NPR to fill 11 new positions,” including “two content strategy analysts to provide data around the mix of content being produced and its impact,” CPB noted in its announcement. Nonetheless, the Media Research Center’s NewsBusters division continues to disprove the “nonpartisan” NPR thesis several times a week.

Bias got a lot of bucks...
