Defund NPR And PBS — Or Spread Taxpayer Money Around Fairly

Plus: Should we deport people based on things they said? My conversation with Martha MacCallum today

Many of us have fond memories of PBS and NPR. Sesame Street. Masterpiece Theater. Fresh Air. Taxpayer funded media, when done right, can do a lot of good.

But the days of fair and balanced public TV and radio are long gone. Neither NPR nor PBS any longer even pretend to represent both sides. And, as Rep. Jim Jordan pointed out yesterday, both spread disinformation on the Russia Collusion hoax, Covid’s origin, and the Hunter Biden laptop, which were three of the biggest stories of our time.

President and CEO of National Public Radio Katherine Maher testifies during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing at the U.S. Capitol on March 26, 2025 in Washington, DC. The heads of NPR and PBS appeared before the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency to address allegations of bias in their programming against conservatives.
