As if this week wasn’t bad enough for the Democrat Party and their mainstream media allies, the DOGE subcommittee is currently holding a hearing on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), where the CEOs of both purported “news” and information outlets are in attendance as witnesses.
Specifically, the hearing is titled “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable,” which is a good indicator that it’s unlikely to go well for PBS President/CEO Paula Kerger and NPR President/CEO Katherine Maher.
The chairperson of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has been one of the most outspoken voices on the right on the issue of taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR, both of which have been on the radars of Republican members of Congress for decades but about which little has been done policy-wise to hold them accountable for their left-wing biases.
Needless to say, Rep. Greene came loaded for bear, with an opening statement that made clear how she – and many Americans – view both networks, dropping facts galore and asking questions that needed to be asked:
The “news” that these entities produce is either resented—or, increasingly, tuned out and turned off— by most of the hard-working Americans who are forced to pay for it. They no longer view NPR and PBS as trusted news sources.
As matter of fact, these people – they’re a threat. In fact, when Elon Musk put his hand over his heart, extended it, and told the American people his heart goes out to them, PBS News posted the clip, called it a “fascist Nazi salute,” and described how it was similar to the same “Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies.
Not once did PBS or NPR report on the numerous accounts of Democrats making the same gesture.
