[DONSURBER.BLOGSPOT] But this story that makes me wonder why we have NPR. It's not as if cable news is not overflowing in news channels. In fact, in many parts of the country -- including my home state of West Virginia -- NPR is hard to get.

Sirius XM offers far more choices and a far better range of voices than NPR.

Why as a taxpayer am I paying for nonsense stories aimed at tearing down the president?

The network says it receives no direct federal funding and that government provides only 5% of its budget.

West Virginia faces a half-billion-dollar budget deficit.

Zero out NPR. Let the organization take a 5% hit in its spending instead of making taxpayers dig deeper to keep alive a redundant and leftist network.
