Well, NPR doesn’t get a lot directly from the government, but a lot of the local affiliate stations do (Which they, in turn, use in part to pay NPR).

Exactly. The 2% isn’t the end of it, just the most prominent step right now. The effort is to remove NPR’s “protected” status by killing the funding. Once the funding goes, then the next front in the war will be either shutting down the affiliate stations or at least barring them from broadcasting NPR.
