Fox News quotes me in a story about NPR and PBS

Fox News quotes me in a news story about how NPR and PBS are continuing to receive government funding despite the so-called shutdown.

Here’s the relevant passage:

However, one expert we spoke to said loopholes enable the CPB and other nonprofits like it to receive federal funding while still claiming independence.
“CPB is a nonprofit corporation that is technically separate from the government. So is NeighborWorks, a nonprofit that receives congressional appropriations, just as CPB does. NeighborWorks helped cause the housing bubble; CPB provides the propaganda that anesthetizes the public, preventing people from laying blame for failed policies at the door of the government,” said Matthew Vadum, senior editor at the Capital Research Center. 
“Keeping a distance by incorporating these entities affords the government plausible deniability when the two nonprofits mess up.”
