Let's be clear. It was Republicans who did this.
Coming back again to say, MAGA will never love you. Republicans are responsible for your money troubles, not the people of the united states. Maybe you should speak plainly and name the perps instead of hiding like cowards.
Fuck you. We can't afford rent or food. Stop begging ppl for money
Republicans eliminated public media funding.
Bill Gates saved PBS.
We love NPR. Maybe a wealthy donor or another org can finance NPR, while we get the traitors out.
I don’t want to brought together with fascists.
congress works for Israel not us
It took me two seconds to raise my sustainer amount and it is the easiest decision for a donation to make. The amount of informative and entertaining media I have received from PBS, GPB, and NPR in my lifetime has simply enriched my life. NOVA inspired me to enter a science field, GA Outdoors 100%.
Huge NPR fan, I increased my monthly contribution this month
Gee after all that pandering you still got cut. So sad.
After years of saying I'll do it one day, I finally became a donor this week to my local NPR station WHQR.
I did! Made a pledge to Louisville Public Media yesterday. Increased my monthly donation KET too.
Yet another example that the GOP led by Trump are not in anyway for freedom of speech and or media. They just cut funding to silence people!
I am repaying debts while supporting students and family through scholarships and financial assistance.
I’ve cancelled all for profit streaming services and I’m devoting that money and more to the most valuable on air orgs: NPR and PBS.
Republicans eliminated funding not Congress, I guess playing both sides isn’t working out to well.
I doubled my support and will be adding to that.
Pass
Castration of all Republicans with a beaver.
Done👍💙
Please give and make sure to REGISTER and VOTE.GOV
If we can't have public media, we're going to have other kinds of media. And that is what is exploding now. They cannot stop this.
what congress is doing to itself is that its majority will be at stake come 2026 and the republicans will not be in hesitation to regret acts of authoritarianism like this one.sorry America. You'll be in good hands sooner than later.keep holding on together
Join me in supporting public broadcasting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am a monthly donor with my local PBS station.
We urge all NPR STATIONS to advertise in other countries Worldwide. hunt for Donors in other countries. NPR Stations Must Launch a 2 1/2 month Recession. Starting now!
All the reasons she outlined are the same ones that the administration finds objectionable. DJT doesn't want people to see others as just like themselves. He doesn't want people brought together. He wants them torn apart.
Donate if you can. No way can anyone stop that and try to damage PBS NPR

This is a classic case of FAFO. I get news from multiple sources, conservative and liberal, and will check stories against opposing outlets. NPR is one of my Liberal sources. Somehow they don't see themselves as liberal but for the better part of 3 decades they've been sliding more and more left.
My rant was deleted. It was fun. Perhaps relevant. Meanwhile, Trumpanzees voted to decimate PBS and NPR.
Ive been a sustainer for years. It's easy and even small monthly donations make a difference. If you've got kids or grandkids, love cooking and art, travel or documentaries then join up with your local station. Millions need PBS.
This morning, I tripled my support to public broadcasting— NPR, WNYC, and PBS! !! (New member, finally, to all three 😌) Thank you for your reporting and for protecting our 1st amendment rights. 💙
You should have never been funded we don't fund Fox News why should you be funded!
Stop conceding to fascists. REPUBLICANS cut your funding. Stop trying to find a middle or centrist ground. REPORT THE TRUTH. The Republican Party, Conservatives, the Right, MAGA, cut funding for NPR. They HATE you. They're anti-science, anti-democracy FASCISTS. Call a spade a spade. Or we lose.
Propaganda
Republicans fear open minds. For a reason.
We shall!!!..and will call Margaret Joe Terry Realto…!! And along with Pete Schweddy and his … well ..they are made from a secret family recipe… nothing like a Schweddy ….so join them next week when… well .. they are fragrant..and salty
I’m a sustaining member of my local NPR station, but at this time, I would not want my donation going towards helping any local red state NPR station.
I signed up and so should you. They couldn’t control public media so they’re trying to kill it. We must not let this be. Consider replacing a streaming service you never watch with this.
Pony up folks. No more coattailing…

Except you haven't since at least the Bush era.
Very very long time listener and from a family of supporters. You lost us all as you kept normalizing their behaviors, kept making excuses for him, gave platform to the most insane takes possible and presented them like they were fact based. Poor choices have caught up with you, and it’s a shame.
Maybe your testimony to Congress, in which you bent over backwards to placate the far right's conspiracy theories and apologized for telling the truth about Donald Trump, didn't quite have the effect you were hoping for. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...
Proud donor for the last 15 years ♥️ NPR
NPR needs money. Stephen Colbert needs a job. Seems like there should be a really simple solution to both problems.
I'm paying Close Attention to this. ALL TV and Radio stations Depend on Funding - and Each One Conducts Operations To Get and Keep That Funding. IF PUBLIC TV and Radio Conduct Operations That Prioritizes PUBLIC FUNDING - Then I Will Double My Recurring Donation. Otherwise - I Will Stop Donating!
One of the most important donations of our times. History will look back unfavorably on this administration.
Hey dummies, stop the mealy-mouthed articles. Stop being so servile to fascists and I’d be happy to start my monthly donations again. Here’s an example of your recent slop. Why is there a pic of Schumer?!
Trump killed NPR. Because truth terrifies tyrants. Public media holds power accountable—and fascists like Trump can’t have that. This isn’t policy. It’s propaganda warfare. He wants blind loyalty, not informed citizens.
It's up to us to save NPR, Big Bird, Democracy, the concept of "no man is above the law", struggle for freedom for Ukraine, saving Palestine, saving the Dept of Education --- I didn't vote for this. But, if we all pitch in, maybe we can limp into the 2026 midterms and fire the Republicans.
Done
I have never heard a non-biased report from NPR. Totally a left leaning propagandist operation
Hey Liberal rich fucks! This is your time. Step up. Save all that is ripped away from this regime. If there is a billionaire who is liberal solve homelessness. Wait a second. Sorry. Humanity. Capitalists. I forgot. When it comes to money…
I don't watch public media, and have not in more than 10 years.
NPR News is bad. Very, very bad. It’s nothing but meaningless “he said she said” analysis-free reporting plus the occasional anti-democratic party opinion piece from a random lefty as a desperate attempt to keep some liberal street cred. It’s worse than The NY Times, which is saying something.
you folks have spent the last 20 odd years pretending the gop is a normal political party as they've gotten more extreme with each passing year - what good did it do you?
Just Donated To NPR & PBS
Here’s an idea. And while we’re at it, let @stephencolbert.bsky.social host the whole thing!
NPR/PBS is a dedicated propaganda tool of the progressive wing of the Democrat party. They are not unbiased or uniting and I am glad to see them defunded. If they bring value to the market they will survive on revenues they produce (or beg). If they do not survive, then the market has spoken.
😒
It’s so “funny” to me that Trump thinks NPR is some left mouthpiece. Every time I’ve listened to NPR on my car rides to and from work in the last few years (at least since Trump1), I listened until there is a Repub mouthpiece telling lies. This has taken only a few minutes each time. Each time.
love NPR please follow and donate
Republicans in Congress? Facts , truth , words matter. Pleasing Trump and Maga will help you but will piss of many donors like me . Truth is not biased.
PLS stay strong! Used listening 2u via AFN, now "sealed" due 2 OBSEC (Understand, its just sad, miss it.. A Prairie Home Companion... CarTalk.. SundayPuzzle). Wish I could give, but I cant even have a smartphone. You are SO much better than Ger PublicMedia, (exc WDR5!) They give all money 2 FIFA 😫
We need NPR!!
Have you apologised for covering up "Hunter's Laptop" yet?
Gladly
You need to knock your salary way down AND show that you will defy the current administration. I mean your head is literally on the chopping block.
I’m a subscriber.. have been since POLDARK..
So what’s left of your culture is doomed
Fucking groveling in front of congress was a waste of time, as was all of the both sides BS that NPR has churned out over the last decade. Also, bootlickers like Nina Totenberg have done real damage with their fawning disguised as reporting.
Give monthly what you can. It all helps.
We need to protect public media. They give a voice to our collective power and connect us to an open field of coverage. You see what is being done in oligarch hands…
All in for sometime now!!
Kinda sounds like it doesn’t.
Yeah they dont want us together.. so we have to reinvent new systems and find ways to pay for it.. like tax deductible contributions to some entity that we can use as PBS and that they would habe trouble stopping.
EVERYTHING these elected officials are doing is MEANT 2 DIVIDE. They relegate immigrants & minorities 2 being murders, rapist, members of drug cartels. They make the determination about whos a cheat & who steals. Funny, they refuse 2 recognize themselves. They project onto others everything they R.
Can we see a video from the head of your DEI office? Oh yeah... Was a supporter for 35yrs until you bent the knee without so much as a whimper. You reap what you sow.
Pennsylvania stands with you #HandsOffNPR #PublicMedia
A portion of NPR’s funding fell victim to cuts by the American Fascist Party, the AFP aka the GOP, where factual reporting is viewed as a hoax perpetrated by those radical libs.
Yall went soft on trump and his administration still fucked you. This is a lesson.
Being stenographers for the AmeriKKKan state, not working out? Own it.
I would say he wants free speech to be gone!
How about no!
Already a donor, donated more monthly - easy to find money we waste on things not nearly as important! #NPR
Follow autism striker sensation videoproofed better feet than Ronaldo on youtube Jan Dust youtube.com/@jan-dust?si... AUTIST JAN DUST IS BETTER THAN RONALDO
What they did is really outrageous, they had no mandate at all and rammed thru changes that ARE ridiculous We need to get these Jan 6 Crooks out of Congress permanently and undo these changes in 2027
State controlled media has never been good idea though.
Well jeez NPR, I’d have definitely considered it before you guys published so many uncritical and unserious stories on Trump’s fascist accomplishments. Hope it all works out for you. Byeeee!
I'm a donor. I'm hoping you will focus on putting all this in context and speaking truth to power.
Done 💪💙 🇺🇲
I remember 2003 when NPR clamored for invasion in Iraq 🖕
The State shouldn't be funding the media. Look at what it has gotten us thus far. www.facebook.com/reel/1029514... and www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=... When the State is pushing you to kill your own children - that's a problem.
I did and the screen went blank….
If she really cared about the mission of the organization, she’d resign. Her performance in front of Congress has tarnished NPR’s reputation. News organizations should be objective, not neutral. She doesn’t seem to understand that.
Nothing left to lose and you’re still gutless. NPR is canceling itself.
all of these billionaires have non-profit foundations lean on them
You may want to join me in blocking this pot-stirring bot kinda loser.
I donate. Though @npr.org you do need to read each and every comment. Their concerns are valid.
I have a long list of public radio stations I listen to from around our nation, not just my area npr station but many for programing that I cant get anywhere but through their channels. I wish I had money enough to truly support them all. I will do all I can to keep them.
You shouldn't have given the Republicans an inch in your congressional hearing, Katherine. You noted "mistakes" and "regrets" in NPR's coverage. The only mistake was appointing a weak leader like you.
NPR For the Truth in Broad Casting
Donald J. Trump and his handpicked psychopaths eliminated public media funding.
PORTISHEAD / SOS (2016) youtu.be/WVe-9VWIcCo?...
I grew up on PBS and shows like Sesame Street, Arthur and Mr Rogers Neighborhood. I WONT let them be defunded
I love my local station but NPR's sanewashing of Trump during the election cycle turned me off. I'll be watching to see if that changes. Then maybe some increased giving, if any of us are still able to.
Lol, remember when she tossed Trump's salad at the congressional hearing? All for nothing.
Just a reminder to donate to your local public stations and PBS and NPR!!!
I’m glad because for years now NPR has stood for Nice Polite Republicans As you’ve laundered rightwing lies and perfidy thinking by aiding Republicans lie, cheat and steal you’d be safe. Welcome to the dustbin of history.
NPR is dismantling public education, one charter school ad at a time. #SupportPublicEducation #SupportScienceNotReligion #EndPublicFinancingOfReligiousSchools
False. Public media does not bring us together. It is highly biased, alienating half of us.
I canceled my Paramount Premium and will now donate monthly to NPR and PBS.
💯🔥👍in 2025 the billionaires got their dictator. #ETMFR #guillotines historically just vote doesn’t fix fascism. the democracy has fallen. #andthentheycameforme anti fascist/anti rascist.we all must fight back!
The repubs want to control us, they want a society of haves and have nots. They HATE everything that PBS supports!
I was an avid listener and occasional donor to NPR prior to 2016. The refusal to call trump a liar and the verbal gymnastics NPR went through to legitimize trumps lunacy was sickening and drove me way from the content. NPR put NPR in this situation.
We stand with NPR.
I guess the fence sitting you've been guilty of the past few years didn't work out like you planned. See, you bent your integrity in an effort to survive, but you came away with less than nothing. I hope this serves as a lesson. Give them no quarter.
Haha, trying to get a liberal to pay for something without using someone else’s money is futile. You are welcome for the quick death you do not deserve.
Already did yesterday!
Shutup🤡 Yall been dividing since Traitorous Muslim Brotherhood Hussein Obama was Installed out of Nowhere to Destroy our Country from within.
I would like to, but I would like some commitment out of NPR to stop appeasing Trump first.
Trump is so thin-skinned! He's weak yet many "Bow to a Bully-In-Chief." Stop bowing & start punching back!!! I will not just hand over my freedoms, my voice, my obedience! We (men & women) Are A Band Of Brothers! We Are AMERICA, By God!To Save The USA WE MUST PUNCH THE BULLY & MAKE HIM BOW DOWN!
what a boring empty cultural life the government envisions.
You have yourselves to blame for not calling out fascism well enough frankly. Hopefully once you collapse we can set something better to find publicly. You know, a news organization that isn't scared to speak.
Congress didn’t do shit. Republicans/Trump did it. Start telling the truth.
Watch the French series Astrid. Worth the $5 or more a month.
NPR and Public Media are the most American thing there is. That's why Republicans and Trump wanted to gut it.
NPR is full of LEFTIST HACKS!!! NPR HATES Conservatives - and it shows. It would be a public service to take NPR completely off the air.
I'm sorry for you, but maybe you should reflect on how useless it was to try to accommodate fascists that have explicitly hated you for decades
We proudly donate monthly to PBS. Think we’re going to give them what we used to give to Paramount+/CBS as well.
I'm tapped out &, if the rancid orange traitor steals my SS money, broke. Please, someone donate for me, for us all. This is real. Reject fascism! Revolution is now or never! 🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍💙
I'll give my money to Democracy Now!.
Thank you NPR for all you do!! I’m now a monthly contributor to Texas Public Radio..plus I’ll keep my annual donation active! #PublicMediaForTheGood
@npr.org I must admit I was a little frustrated because prior to the senate and house votes you had mostly normal program. Yes you mentioned the cuts but you made them sound like a done deal before they were. You and PBS should have canceled normal programming.
I increased my contribution to my local station by 25% in response.
I’m doubling my monthly pledge. Hang in there! 🩷
it's already got heavy #Resistance - #steadyon!
NPR is a partisan hack!! If you like there dribble, pay for it!! Don’t take it from my tax dollars!!
Or, hear me out... rich democrat celebrities could fund this easily.
From what I’m reading, I didn’t realize how close to the mainstream media you have become. There was only one candidate in the last election and you reported there were two. No more donations until that kind of reporting changes.
🎯🎯🎯
It will be back in 4 years....just around the time these sleezeballs begin their sentences at Leavenworth unless cheeto keels over first.

Absolutely, Katherine. I would love to have as a guest on Reasonably Spontaneous Conversation, a show I have been doing since 1979. Some of those early shows still exist. tardanmedia.com/rsc-la/ Current shows are on RSC=Global and Current Conversations. dennis@tardanmedia.com
😃 Please donate to support Public media
What a shame it is that @npr.org both-sided Dems and RusPubs and sane-washed DonOLD Dump while making Joe Biden look like a geriatric buffoon. You drum rolled Dump into office not once, but twice, and I know, because I donated and listened to you, never again. I'm ok with you dying. Time to move on.
I renewed my support of NPR and PBS earlier this year.
Opinion: NPR should team with Blue Sky to make a new Social Media Network where its audience verifies its identity to participate publicly on it. It’s something other platforms should have done 10 years ago to limit chat bots. Maybe they can bounce back…
I’ve donated monthly to Cap Radio in Sacramento for decades. In May I added a monthly to NPR.
Katherine needs a shot of Draino...
I’m a supporter and tried to give more on an appeal via email. It was loaded with another fund request. NOT GOOD. Please correct. We need you!
Well you've both sides-ed yourselves into being defunded.
