My point is just that the programming itself isn't funded by the government, they need to raise those funds.

Their primary sources of funding aren't motivated by traffic though.

What if their left leaning funding sources dry up if they don’t promote some of these types of articles more frequently?


I expected this article on HuffPo, not NPR

If you are asking me if I think this tweet was done in good faith, then yes I do. Small scale advocacy group 100% has an incentive to engage in this way in lieu of meaningful resources.
