Current's The Pub

Newsbusters editor Tim Graham concedes that he has no evidence that a foundation influenced NPR's news coverage. But he also argues that's beside the point. "If you're Ploughshares, when you give money to NPR, you know what you're getting," Graham said. "You know that you're not going to get a Fox News. You're going to get what may be seen as the opposite of Fox News." This week on the The Pub, Graham and host Adam Ragusea debate this and other conservative complaints about public media. Also on the show, we introduce you to Suzanna Kruger, a biology teacher at Seaside High School in Oregon who used to regularly assign her students Nova videos to watch online at home — until they started running up against the new Passport paywall.
