Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : As NPR media reporter David Folkenflik noted in his coverage, government funding contributes less than a single percent to the national network's funding; however, local affiliates, which are extremely important in the diminishing local-media landscape, depend on it more.
40% : Meanwhile, it's no surprise that the anti-wokeness activist Christopher Rufo, who has claimed that schools can be "hunting grounds for sexual predators", is leading the call for Maher's ouster.
29% : "LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE," Donald Trump wailed on social media.
18% : One wonders if the network did its due diligence before making the hire; her years-old social media posts call Trump a racist and seem to shrug off the rioting during social justice protests.
