ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION
“The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-a strong backer of the Affordable Care
Act-gave NPR
$5.6 million to report on health care between 2008 and 2011, and the Ford Foundation, which is committed to
fighting economic inequality, gave $1 million to public radio's Marketplace to report on that subject. ‘Nearly all
funders have some kind of ideology and agenda,’ [David] Callahan observed. "’And whatever media grantees say about their editorial independence, all non-profits are wary of biting the hands that feed them.’"
