> in the late 90s, NPR and CPB member stations were caught selling their membership lists

The article specifically says partner television stations and apparently some sold their lists to Republican campaigns too ("including the 1996 presidential campaign of Sen. Bob Dole").

Your initial statement "NPR that sold it's subscriber list to the Democratic party" doesn't appear to be correct at all if this was the end of the story.



COV was the entity that solid it. cPB was behind the TV stations, PBS and NPr.


> COV was the entity that solid it

Assuming you meant "CPB" and "sold" here, no, it wasn't.

> cPB was behind the TV stations, PBS and NPr.

You'll have to be a lot more specific about what "behind" means here, though, because your entire (mis)recollection is based on it.

There's no interpretation of these events in which NPR sold anything, though.
