At the request of Republican Senator Jim DeMint, the Congressional Research Service investigated the funding of NPR and PBS, and determined that about 14% of public broadcasting money comes from American taxpayers. The issue arose in the wake of the firing of Juan Williams by NPR for his less-than-positive statements about Islam.In other news, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law says she converted to Islam during a trip to Iran.
