From GOOGLE AI OVERVIEW:
"Based on the most recent information available, NPR reports that it receives about 1% of its funding directly from the federal government. Some sources, including The New York Times and Oklahoma State University, cite a figure of 2% for NPR's direct federal funding."

So they cannot remain in operation with losing just one to two percent of their funding? Hum, sounds like the old Twitter that was so overmanned that even after Musk eliminated about 80% of personnel, was still able to operate. But then again, it has been/is being operated by liberals so am not surprised.
