NPR Hammered by Top Republican – After Huge Mistake, She Plans to Shut Them Down

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is planning to propose new legislative action that would threaten to cut National Public Radio’s (NPR) federal funding if passed, prompted by the news that it suspended an editor who went viral for exposing the outlet’s partisan uniformity in its newsroom…

She is specifically looking to prevent NPR from benefiting from public funds, due to what her office characterized as left-wing bias.

“The mainstream media has become obsessed with doing the Left’s bidding and taking down strong conservatives — and NPR has led the pack,” Blackburn said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “It makes no sense that the American people are forced to fund a propagandist left-wing outlet that refuses to represent the voices of half the country. NPR should not receive our tax dollars’.”
NPR stands for Nonsense Progressive Rhetoric. Pure fantasy entertainment, not to be taken seriously. This debate about their funding goes back to at least the Obama days, if not further. Cut off all public funds.

Remember when NPR refused to cover the Hunter laptop scandal, calling it a "waste of time"? NPR is a branch of the Democrat Party and needs to be shut down

Npr recieves about 1% of it's funding from federal sources.
@Carla gee... Christine Gregoire's office told me it was between 10%-15% back in 2009 or 2010. Libs can never get their collectivist story straight. So if it's less than 1%, they won't even miss it when the tax fund valve is shut off, right?

Yes. Its sad that the truth has become a leftist, propaganda tool..Just because the right has never been as much as 50% of the population doesnt mean theirs shouldnt be the only voice heard..😷

@graphite Actually, someone did. A female police officer caught up with him and shot him dead as he advanced on her with his knife. If he had a gun no doubt he would have shot at her..As tragic as this is, and it seems the man had "problems", if he had gone in there with firearms it could have been so much worse. But thank you for caring..😷

I've been hearing defund NPR and PBS for years. Planned Parenthood is another. Somehow, with Republican help, they always get funding.

Finally someone trying to address this wrong. It won't work because Republicans are too weak. But it's a nice thought.

Funding should've been cut years ago
