Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is pushing to defund NPR’s budget, which taxpayers subsidize by nearly 11 percent.
Blackburn’s effort supports former President Donald Trump’s belief that NPR must be defunded due to bias within the network.
NPR editor Uri Berliner resigned from the network Wednesday after he revealed NPR’s Washington, DC, office employed zero registered Republicans and 87 registered Democrats.
NPR’s chief news executive, Edith Chapin, denied her employee’s claims, citing nuance and inclusion.
Should have been defunded long ago!
Their bias has been evident and extreme!
