Marjorie Taylor Greene has a bone to pick with the media.
She didn’t pull any punches.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene exposed one damning fact about the media that Democrats wanted hidden.
NPR CEO grilled by House Republicans
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficient (DOGE) are trying to root out wasteful government spending.
There may be no better example than National Public Radio (NPR).
Taxpayers are forced to cover part of the costs for NPR to run a left-wing propaganda outlet.
NPR and fellow taxpayer-funded outlet PBS were put under the spotlight during a hearing of the House’s Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blasted NPR CEO Katherine Maher over her lengthy history of left-wing comments and support for censorship on social media.
“Your public statements and social media posts reflect left-wing ideology and blatant opposition to free speech,” Green told Maher. “Let’s walk through some of your statements so the public can understand your personal views … Your fellow Americans just elected Donald Trump as President again this past November. You called him a ‘deranged racist’ and ‘sociopath.’ You posted on X that ‘America is addicted to white supremacy.’ It’s appalling.”
NPR bills itself as a non-partisan outlet but it’s being run by a far-left ideologue.
Greene called out her history of supporting censorship, including complaining about the First Amendment.
“Miss Maher, many find your pro-censorship and anti-free speech views more concerning than your politics. The only speech you like seems to be speech that you agree with. In 2021, you called the First Amendment ‘the number one challenge’ in American journalism because it makes it hard to crack down on bad information,” Greene said.
Maher claimed that she supported free speech.
“You said in a [2022] TED Talk that our ‘reverence for the truth might be a distraction.’ You’ve also expressed support for deplatforming individuals you view as fascist,” Greene added.
Republicans are virtually non-existent at NPR
Former NPR editor Uri Berliner blew the whistle on the bias at the taxpayer-funded outlet in an article for the Free Press last year.
He discovered that all of the NPR’s 87 editors were registered Democrats.
Maher claimed that NPR plays a vital role in America by “delivering unbiased, nonpartisan, fact-based reporting.”
She said with a straight face that she had never seen any bias in the network’s reporting.
Representative William Timmons (R-SC) asked Maher if her previous comments indicated that she was biased.
“Do you think that the public statements you have made on social media create a challenge in your leadership for what should be an unbiased public information system? Did they come up in your job interview? Like, do you see a problem?” Timmons asked.
Maher said her beliefs never came up in her job interview.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting gives NPR nearly $300 million annually in taxpayer money.
President Donald Trump should defund NPR and PBS to end this egregious waste of taxpayer money for the Left’s propaganda.
