Been waiting 40+ years to see NPR defunded. Doubt it will happen.
CPB needs to be completely defunded and their FCC frequencies put up for auction.
Good to go for it, but doubt it will happen, too many Rino Republicans in the House and Senate. If this situation was reversed and NPR was pushing conservative ideology, the Democrats would succeed in having it defunded even if they didn’t control the House, Senate and/or presidency.
Bill will get written, and die in committee, or die in the Senate, or die in the House, or get vetoed by the senile pedophile warmonger misogynist corruptocrat.
Good virtue signaling, but that’s all it is.
“Blackburn, who spoke to Fox News on Wednesday, plans to cut off any government funding to the far-left organization, she said.”
How about ALL far-left organizations, like NGOs, that take federal money for starting wars and advancing the Leftist Agenda overseas?
This will 100% not happen. Repukes are useless.
When Trump wins and if the Rs somehow hold the House and take the Senate, watch all of the latter two to forget all about these show vote bills and act as if they never heard of them.
Never forget in January 2001, expecting NPR to carry G.W. Bush’s inauguration, as I was away from home and hoped to listen on the radio. How disappointed I was. Not even a mention of it. Have never bothered with NPR since.
In the modern era, there is precisely ZERO justification for government funded and controlled media of any kind.
Bttt.

If NPR is de-funded, where will I go for news about health care in Cuba?
Thank you Marsha Blackburn!
As As a side note,Maher reads like a handful but nothing substantive.
It is remarked she is cia (?)
I read her bio and its nothing but one stellar organization after another but no real accomplishments noted.
If National Propaganda Radio cannot be defunded, then at least fund with equal advantage a conservative outlet in similar fashion.
A separate entity that parallels the NPR scheme should be possible. Staff it with 87 MAGA people in the newsroom to offset the 87 libs at NPR.
What NPR needs is a healthy dose of philosophical DEI. Embrace it or lose your funding.
If they can’t stand on their own feet, then they don’t deserve to exist.
get ready for the “they are trying to kill big bird” trope
“Presenting the view from the left...but EVERYONE has to pay for it...this is National........Public.............................Radio.”

We shouldn’t have to have any part of funding of an organization that broadcasts nothing but hatred towards our political party. It’s wrong on every level. Pull all the funding and let’s see if it can survive on it’s own legs.
It’s only fair, but of course fairness never comes into play anymore when democrats are involved.
