Several House Republicans are introducing legislation to prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) following the suspension and resignation of an editor who revealed overt levels of partisanship in the company's newsroom.
Several House Republicans are introducing legislation to prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio following the suspension and resignation of an editor who revealed overt levels of partisanship in the company's newsroom.
"American taxpayers should not be forced to fund NPR, which has become a partisan propaganda machine," Tenney said Friday in a news release. "My legislation, the Defund NPR Act of 2024, ensures no federal funding is used to perpetuate the media bias that has taken over NPR. As a former newspaper owner and publisher, I understand the importance of nonpartisan, balanced media coverage, and have seen first-hand the left-wing bias in our news media.
"Too many media outlets push their slanted agenda instead of reporting the news," Good told The Federalist. "National Public Radio has a track record of promoting an anti-American narrative on the taxpayer dime, while suppressing dissenting viewpoints. My legislation would ensure no taxpayer dollars are used to fund the woke, leftist propaganda of National Public Radio."
"NPR’s new CEO is a radical, left-wing activist who doesn’t believe in free speech or objective journalism," Banks said Friday in a news release. "Katherine Maher isn’t qualified to teach an introductory journalism class, much less capable of responsibly spending millions of American tax dollars."
