BREAKING NEWS: House votes to pull NPR funding.

By a vote of 228 to 192 the U.S. House has voted to cut taxpayer funding to National Public Radio. “We need to get NPR out of the taxpayers' pocket,” Rep. Marcia Blackburn (R-TN) said in the final minutes of debate. The bill faces a tougher climb in the Senate however, and the White House this afternoon said it “strongly opposes” cutting NPR funding.
