“Too many media outlets push their slanted agenda instead of reporting the news. National Public Radio has a track record of promoting an anti-American narrative on the taxpayer dime, while suppressing dissenting viewpoints,” Good said in a statement to The Federalist. “My legislation would ensure no taxpayer dollars are used to fund the woke, leftist propaganda of National Public Radio.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is weighing a number of options to sever federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which doles out grants to NPR, Fox News reported this week.

NPR Senior Business Editor Uri Berliner, who was with the network for 25 years resigned this week after he was suspended for a tell-all essay he wrote about the leftist hivemind of NPR.

So the question is: Why is the American taxpayer paying for this Pravda?  

Some lawmakers are saying enough is enough. 

U.S. Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., is introducing a bill to defund NPR. The bill’s draft, exclusively provided to The Federalist,…

LOL. Republican’s make these exact same statements every 4 years, then do absolutely nothing. I don’t understand why anyone would believe this crap.

I have no idea what you are whining about like a spoiled little girlie Communist.

The page opens for me, and I never paid them a cent or created an account.

IThe site asked me to subscribe to read the information, I will NOT pay for another opinion. Can’t believe, even after I said “please” you called me a “spoiled little girlie Communist” and “Mr Marx”. No PERSONAL ATRACK there. You give Free Republic a real lefty feel.
