No. Government funding makes you part of the government, it doesn't matter who directed what. Its the same principle that makes universities subject to higher constitutional scrutiny than private colleges.

Don't know if there's any sort of requirement on NPR's part to continue to get federal funding. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
