So apparently Congress is going to cut more dollars in funding, to NPR, than NPRs total 2005 Revenue?

How could Congress cut $223,000,000 from an entity whose total revenue is only a little over $159,000,000?



I guess it's ultra-liberal math or something...
Are you just doing this for the sake of arguing and insulting liberals now?

That's just NPR. The cut that was recommended by the Appropriations subcommittee (of which I'm assuming you're referring to) was for public broadcasting in general; which includes many more program distributors than just NPR.

But I guess you're just doing 'ultra-conservative' math or something...
