Leftist TV and Radio Finally Defunded

A former NPR Radio reporter writes:

The Senate voted this morning to claw back $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding for NPR, PBS, and local stations. Pending final approval in the House, the federal government will, after more than half a century, no longer be in the business of supporting NPR.

The vote is a victory for Republicans who have long had National Public Radio (NPR) in their sights. But it is also a victory for those of any political stripe who believe the government has no business funding the media.

I didn’t use to count myself among them. But over the past year, under the leadership of a divisive new CEO, instead of taking criticisms of its coverage to heart, NPR instead doubled down on agenda-driven journalism.

Yes, the govt has no business funding partisan political programming.

PBS and NPR used to ask for donations on the grounds that they offered objective and unbiased reporting. No more. They are completely on the Trump-hater Woke Left.

It is funny how it likes to hire Black broadcasters, when it has no Black viewers/listeners. Its customer base is the Whitest of all the networks.

It is not just 60% anti-Trump. It is 100% anti-Trump. In ten years, it has not hired one pro-Trump employee, or broadcast one pro-Trump story.

Here is an example from yesterday, a PBS story on transgender soldiers. It has about 20 seconds of a Trump announcement, and 8 minutes criticizing the Trump policy.
