[Growler]

Bubblehead, the fallacy in this argument, from my perspective, is this:

First off: I'm not arguing the leanings of the organization one way or another; my question would be just as appropriate if I were asking a Liberal about a right-leaning, tax-supported radio station.

You assert that NPR is a "liberal propaganda tool" supported by tax dollars; therefore, by dint of that support, is a mouthpiece of a liberal-controlled government. Yet NPR has existed for far longer than a liberal has been in power, through Republican and Democrat administrations and Congresses. My question is: Why?

If the station were indeed a mouthpiece of one side, would it not stand to reason that the other side would immediately move to shut it down - by withdrawing that tax-dollar support - once the power balance shifted, as we know it inevitably does? Why would any such tax-supported institution survive not just one, but several reversals in power in the government?
