ONE THING MISSING FROM THE NPR "SCANDAL"

I've read several accounts so far but only the AP seems to have printed a reasonable complete version of what Ron Schiller said about NPR's funding:

"It is very clear that we would be better off in the long run without federal funding," Schiller said, saying it would allow the organization to become an independent voice and clear up the misconception that it is largely government-funded.

Schiller conceded that if the funding were lost, "we would have a lot of stations go dark."
