After a rather intense hearing carried out by the House DOGE Subcommittee Rep. Ronny Jackson, a Texas Republican, is set to introduce a new piece of legislation on Thursday to yank every penny of government funding from what he referred to as the “chronically biased” media outlets NPR and PBS.
Jackson claims that both companies have been “pushing Democrat talking points under the fake banner of “public media.” To that I give a hearty “Da*n right.”
Both of these networks have been using money yanked from the paychecks of hard working Americans to create pro-Democratic Party propaganda to help move the progressive agenda a little further down the road like a sick and twisted version of kick-the-can. Imagine using tax dollars to confuse the snot out of little boys and girls with transgender ideology designed to leave them stressed out about whether or not they’re actually male or female.
It should not be tolerated.
According to Fox News, “Jackson’s bill – titled the ‘No Partisan Radio and Partisan Broadcasting Services Act’ or simply the ‘NPR and PBS Act’ – would fully cut off any direct and indirect government funding for both outlets, forcing them to compete instead of being propped up by the government.”
“This comes amid Elon Musk’s sweeping cuts to wasteful government programs through the Department of Government Efficiency. The move also follows a high-intensity House DOGE Subcommittee hearing in which NPR’s Katherine Maher and PBS’ Paula Kerger attempted to explain why their outlets still deserve public funding,” Fox said.
Maher conceded during the hearing that NPR really screwed things up with their coverage of the now infamous Hunter Biden laptop, going on to say, “We made a mistake.” When the controversy first erupted just days out from the 2020 presidential election, representatives for NPR referred to the story as unserious and a distraction.
“We were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner,” Maher added. And then, in a desperate bid to keep the network and her job, she stated she felt regret for comments made about President Donald Trump, referring to him as a “fascist and deranged racist sociopath.”
Too little, too late, Maher. You blew it.
Meanwhile, Kerger’s PBS was slammed for producing such programs as “Real Boy,” which follows a transgender character exploring sexuality. DOGE Subcommittee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., bashed PBS as “one of the founders of the trans child abuse industry.”
Following the NPR and PBS leaders’ testimonies, Greene called the outlets “out of touch with everyday Americans,” saying: “I think from what we have heard here today, the American people will not continue to allow such propaganda to be funded through the federal government with their hard-earned tax dollars.”
Jackson told Fox News Digital that though NPR and PBS were originally founded to produce non-biased, informational and educational content, the outlets have since “turned into taxpayer-funded propaganda machines for the radical left, pushing Democratic talking points under the fake banner of ‘public media.’”
“Hardworking Americans are sick of footing the bill,” Jackson stated. “It’s time to cut them off and stop forcing taxpayers to pay for their liberal lies!”
The president himself has made it clear he’s open to stripping the funding from NPR and other “biased” outlets funded with American tax dollars.
“They spend more money than any other network of its type ever conceived, so the kind of money that’s being wasted, and it’s a very biased view, you know that better than anybody,” Trump explained. “And I’d be honored to see it end.”
Defund NPR. It should survive on its own.
