Back in February, there were reports that National Public Radio was going to be cutting its workforce due to a drop in ad revenue.

Now that time has come.

NPR has a long history of political bias against the right, so conservatives won’t lose any sleep over this news.

FOX News reports:

NPR hit with massive layoffs, cancels 4 podcasts

National Public Radio was the latest media organization to implement mass layoffs, leading to the cancelation of multiple programs.

NPR itself confirmed Thursday that it had cut 10% of its workforce on Thursday, impacting roughly 100 employees, adding that it tends to roll back the workforce from 1,200 to an estimated 1,050 employees, the “largest reduction in staff since the 2008 recession.”

“We literally are fighting to secure the future of NPR at this very moment by restructuring our cost structure. It’s that important. It’s existential,” NPR chief executive John Lansing told NPR’s media correspondent David Folkenflik.

The liberal outlet also halted several podcasts: “Invisibilia,” “Louder Than a Riot,” “Rough Translation” and “Everyone & Their Mom.” None of its radio shows were canceled.

The cuts come after NPR assessed that ad revenue was set to drop $30 million in 2023.

“Every person on staff cares deeply about public radio’s mission and has worked hard to contribute to it. This is a painful time for everyone in this organization,” an NPR spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.

According to NPR, most impacted staff will remain on the payroll until the end of April.

Conservatives on Twitter noted that NPR’s situation was predicatble.

Can you believe NPR just laid off 10 percent of its workforce? Who doesn’t want quality reliable information like this? https://t.co/5LdZ0yPnfY

NPR is funded by American taxpayers despite zero scientific evidence of any benefit to society. https://t.co/OHS7nKnrcD

“Limited scientific evidence” that biological men have a physical advantage over biological women.

NPR is beyond flaming garbage at this point. There’s ZERO evidence that NPR is a news organization. https://t.co/wBb28qKTBL

Maybe rich Hollywood liberals can step up and fund NPR on their own.

An Uber driver was carjacked and fatally shot in Los Angeles County Friday morning.

Former US Marine Aaron Orozco, a husband and father of two, was murdered Friday morning during his Uber shift after he picked up two black men.

According to reports, Orozco stopped at a 7-Eleven for an unknown reason. It was at this time that Orozco and the two black male passengers got into an argument.

One of the passengers pulled out a gun and shot Orozco in the chest/torso.

One suspect stole Orozco’s Honda Accord and drove off. The other suspect took off on foot.

Both suspects are still at large.

Uber said it canceled the rider’s account.

Fox 11 Los Angeles reported:

The Uber driver who was shot and killed by two passengers during his shift in Lynwood Friday morning was identified by family as former Marine Aaron Orozco.

Orozco was a father of two. His family told FOX 11 that he was based out of Camp Pendleton and completed three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He started driving for Uber at night so he could care for his children while his wife, Sandra, worked as a nurse.

“We were married for 10 years, but we’ve been together since high school, high school sweethearts,” his wife told FOX 11.

“I haven’t even told my kids yet, they still think dad is going to come through the door,” she added.

In four years he’s had no issues until the early morning of March 24 when he picked up two men.

Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said during the ride, Orozco stopped at a 7-Eleven store in 2800 block of Imperial Highway for an unknown reason. At some point, the passengers and Orozco got into an altercation and one of the passengers pulled out a gun and shot him in his upper body.

A store clerk witnessed the shooting and contacted authorities. When first responders arrived, Orozco’s body was found lying on the ground in the parking lot.
