NPR receives very little directly from CPB, but CPB support for member stations in part pays their fees to NPR.

PDQ: "They say that NPR and PBS receive almost nothing from the Federal goverment" -- who's "they", and I don't think anyone said anything about PBS, except in response to this statement.

A loss of the CPB entirely (which is the Gingerich-Palin plan) would affect a lot more than just NPR.
