Do not resuscitate: Conservatives look to defund NPR



President Donald Trump has been urging Republicans to defund NPR and PBS — and conservatives aren’t taking his suggestion lightly.

After a hearing by the House DOGE Subcommittee, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) is introducing a bill to pull all government funding from the “chronically biased” outlets, which he claims have been “pushing Democrat talking points under the fake banner of ‘public media.’”

Jackson’s bill, titled the “No Partisan Radio and Partisan Broadcasting Services Act,” would cut off all government funding for both outlets, and those for the bill aren’t being easy on NPR CEO Katherine Maher.

“You’re a rabid progressive, and do you not think it’s a problem that your political leanings make it seem to the American people that you’re not biased?” Rep. William Timmons (R-S.C.) said to Maher during the hearing.


“Let’s talk about the newsroom. You have 87 registered Democrats, not a single Republican in your editor board. I mean, how does that work to give us the perception that you’re doing your job of actually delivering unbiased information?” Timmons continued.

“Well, I would agree with you that that number is a concern if it is accurate,” Maher replied.

“I’m stuck on the fact that she thinks this is a ‘concern,’ that there’s 87 Democrats and zero Republicans,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments. “You know, like 60-40 would be a concern, 55-45, maybe a little bit of a concern, 65-35, a real concern.”

“100-0 is a plan,” he continues. “You’re doing that intentionally.”

Is NPR’s woke CEO Katherine Maher WORSE than we thought?



NPR’s president and CEO, Katherine Maher, has made headlines after the publicly funded media company punished journalist Uri Berliner for exposing the network’s leftist bias.

Now, Maher’s also under fire for her past outrageous statements about free speech.

And while that’s all bad enough, Maher may be even more nefarious than conservatives are just now finding out.

“She would be a very important tool in the hands of the government, and she’s being paid by National Public Radio,” Glenn Beck says. “She is a tool of the government in many ways.”

Blaze News staff writer Joseph MacKinnon has some enlightening details.

“At first blush, she looks like just another shrill leftist. She has the obligatory photo wearing the Biden campaign hat, and she has an unhealthy obsession with race,” MacKinnon says. “But you keep digging, as Rufo has, and you realize really quickly that there’s something more going on here.”

“From 30,000 feet,” he continues, “she looks like not just a tech savvy media queen but someone who spent a lot of time around color revolutions.”

Not only is Maher also a World Economic Forum World Global Leader, but she’s worked with the World Bank, various NGOs in tech comms and foreign policy spaces, and the National Democratic Institute.

The National Democratic Institute is a spin-off of the National Endowment for Democracy, which according to MacKinnon is an “organization that tries to transition unwilling regimes to become liberal democracies.”

“Can I redefine that a little bit?” Glenn asks, adding, “It’s a CIA front.”

“Whether or not she has CIA on a card somewhere tucked into her desk, she might as well have been,” MacKinnon says.
