WNYC is NOT a Public Radio Station
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're hopelessy biased on all sorts of topics. But I wish people would stop calling them a public radio station. They might use that designation, but it is patently false.

From their own website:
Before January 1997, both stations were owned by the City of New York and operated by the WNYC Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by private citizens committed to the cause of public radio. In 1995, the WNYC Foundation purchased the two WNYC radio licenses from the City of New York for $20 million and WNYC, New York Public Radio is now run as an independent, not-for-profit organization. Grants and listener contributions cover more than 60% of the operating budgets for the two radio stations.

They used to be a public radio station. but they pissed off Rudy Guiliani--their de facto boss--so much by bashing him at every opportunity and refusing to pay any heed to his demands to balance out the content, that he sold their asses off.

A "public" radio station means it's owned by the commonwealth, not by a foundation privately operated and funded by people outside the body politic.
