NPR, formerly National Public Radio,[1][2] is a privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that serves as a national syndicator to 797 public radio stations in the United States of America.[3]

NPR is a nationally acclaimed provider of news, information, and entertainment programming, and is the media industry leader in sound gathering and production. The world's first noncommercial, satellite-delivered radio network, NPR is an independent, private, nonprofit membership organization funded primarily through its own service-generating activities.

NPR was incorporated in 1970 pursuant to the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, but it is not a government agency. NPR is not a radio station itself nor does it own any radio stations, but NPR programs can be heard on more than 800 public radio stations across the United States.

We got us a couple of geniuses here.

Say, CF915, do you or a close relative work for NPR, by any chance?

Not at all.

The OP was mocking Christiefan for his faux outrage over GE's legitimate use of the tax code to avoid paying tax.

He also appears outraged that Fox pays taxes, just not enough.

Thanks for dropping in, though.

Evidently, the genius doesn't understand the difference between a for profit commercial organization and a private, publicly funded non-profit organization. Either that, or he's so childish and intellectually dishonest that he just can't concede the point.

Most likely both.

"CPB is technically a private, non-profit corporation, but in reality, it is a pass-through for federal funds to public broadcasting. Federal funds, through the CPB, are the largest single source of funding for public TV and radio broadcasting. Most of the funds go to Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and NPR, both of which were created by CPB.

According to the independent Congressional Research Service, Congress appropriated $420 million this year (FY 2010) for the CPB."
