have you seen France lately? It looks like America in 2020 where rioters killed people and burned buildings for months.

America's Pravda Getting What They Deserve...

Why it's time to pull the plug on NPR and PBS – for good
Brandon Gill
In just a few short months, President Donald Trump has delivered like no president before, leading a seismic governmental realignment back toward accountability, efficiency and America First values. He’s carrying out the agenda Americans elected him to do in November.
In Congress, we have a duty to act with urgency and resolve to provide the legislative backup that the commander in chief needs.
On the House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee, where we are working to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse of federal funds, I am laser-focused on rescinding every dollar of federal funding for state-sponsored media. This is the Land of the Free, not China, Russia or North Korea, and yet over $535 million in taxpayer dollars keep National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) spewing leftist activism and labeling it journalism.
In a recent DOGE hearing, I confronted NPR's CEO Katherine Maher. What the American people saw was stunning.
Under oath, the head of NPR couldn’t explain away her old incriminating tweets – some citing her support for racial reparations, racism against White men and downplaying the violence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. Her record reads like a Marxist playbook. Her answers were evasive, her tone defiant and her priorities decidedly un-American.
When pressed about double standards in NPR's news coverage, she dodged accountability, insisting NPR is fair and balanced – while the facts tell a different story. Under the misnomer of being "news," NPR has blasted fear of "fatness," defended censorship, platformed disinformation and actively blacklisted dissenting conservative voices.
It’s no wonder that Maher was chosen to spearhead NPR’s agenda of relentless bias, as scathingly exposed by former NPR editor Uri Berliner.
Let’s be clear: NPR and the federally funded Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) aren’t neutral media institutions. They are propaganda machines forcing a worldview that sneers at middle America, celebrates fringe ideology and defends the very institutions that have failed everyday Americans. PBS has repeatedly pushed critical race theory and gender ideology in the classroom, exposing minors to salacious drag queen programming – all on the taxpayer’s dime.
The days of using our tax dollars on state-sponsored propaganda are coming to a harsh end.
I applaud and thank President Trump for his leadership on this critical issue by ending funding for NPR and PBS via executive action. Now, Congress must back up Trump’s agenda and use every tool at our disposal to defund these outlets permanently.
That begins by immediately passing a rescissions package to claw back every last cent of the over $1 billion in future funding already earmarked for NPR and PBS. These funds are sitting in the pipeline – approved years in advance, quietly shielded from scrutiny. We can, and we must, cut it.
I commend Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for supporting this fight and backing our effort to end federal support for these propaganda outlets. But Congress must bring a rescissions package to the House floor as soon as possible.
President Trump has called for bold, historic cuts to the bloated federal bureaucracy. Defunding NPR and PBS is one of the most commonsense places to start. These aren’t just budget line items – they’re symbols of everything Americans can’t stand about Washington: elitism, bias and unaccountable institutions feeding off taxpayer largesse.
This isn’t solely about clawing back past funding. We must pursue long-term legislative reforms to block future appropriations to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) – both direct and indirect. Public radio and television stations shouldn’t serve as backdoor funding vehicles for partisan advocacy.
I’m proud to lead this fight alongside the president, the speaker, my colleagues in Congress and on behalf of the tens of millions of Americans who are sick of seeing their hard-earned dollars hijacked to underwrite the Left's culture war.
Let’s finish what we started. Let’s pass the rescissions package. Let’s end taxpayer-funded propaganda. And let’s remind Washington that the American people are no longer footing the bill for their own humiliation. It’s time to defund NPR and PBS – for good.

No surprise that Empty Greene voted on a bill she didn't read and is now whining about what she voted for because reading a bill requires reading.

Why do you think you get a say in what other countries choose to fund media wise?
Maybe those countries think USA currently has kind of effed up media policies and are turning imperialist by shutting off public funding for public interest journalism... "Maybe".
Cue Dwight repeating more of the same hysterical BS about lies and propaganda and completely avoiding the actual question (because he has no answer to it)

why do you think you get a say in what I can say about what any country's choice whether to fund media? In other words, you can't tell me what to think.
NPR, PBS, CBC, and the BBC get hundreds of millions a year from the taxpayer and they are all far Left outlets. I suspect you and the Left would feel differently if they were far Right, whereas I would feel the exact same way if they were far Right outlets. I am against the government using taxpayer money to fund domestic propaganda of any kind. That's the difference between us.
Besides, NPR receives approximately 1% of its funding directly from the federal government. 15% for PBS. The CBC in Canada is less than 1%.
Times have changed. Government needs to distance themselves for even the appearance being in bed with a certain political party. NPR can say what they want, I am not against their right to spew the garbage they do year after year. Same goes for Canada.
Remember, you got Hareeballs agreeing with you. Time to pause and reflect.

Russia Russia Russia !
Lol . Doesn’t take long to dismantle your regurgitated BS .
If you’re going to post about Beattie perhaps look at his coverage of the Jan 6. pipe bomber which Dems seem to have no interest on his identity dipshit .
The below statement my wife gave to The Times (UK outlet) only begins to correct the record------- Kirillova told The Times: “Far from being Kremlin-aligned, Putin publicly denounced my uncle and his ownership stake in Bashkir Soda, whereupon the Putin government stole his company from him. He has lived in exile from Russia for five years. I am deeply disappointed that the Telegraph would omit these material and publicly discoverable facts that completely undermine the suggestion that my uncle or I am Kremlin-linked — the narrative backbone of the entire piece.”

Do you actually believe that?
You are talking about the only widespread outlets that actually try to be balanced at all.
You have been tricked into hating on your own protectors, to protect your political cult leader from scrutiny. Be ashamed Dwight.
Becasue you posted it here in public.
Now why do you think you get to be foreign censor?
Don't you see how brainwashed you have been about other countries yet??
Remember how you thought Melbourne people agreed with you and would vote out their govt? But the opposite happened.
Remember how you claimed Australia agreed with MAGA loonies and that was proven by Dutton about to win the latest election? But his party lost in the biggest historic landslide ever.
Will you ever stop and consider that you don't have a clue what other countries think or should do?
Or ever consider that YOU are the one sucked in by fake news and lies? Not your imaginary evil lefties?Last edited by Optional; Yesterday, 08:22 AM..Comment -
Do I actually believe what? All those far Left outlets do get millions of tax payer dollars to push a liberal ideology. Its wrong no matter if they were pushing a conservative one. That is my point.
NPR’s Katherine Maher admits it’s ‘concerning’ that 100% of her editorial board—87 members—are registered Democrats, with zero Republicans. NPR’s blatant partisan imbalance is unacceptable—taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for a one-sided echo chamber.
87 Democrats 0 republicans!
How could anyone reasonable person think this is ok to send taxpayer dollars to?
Last year I hung out with a far Left friend from the Mid West while I was in the Caribbean still. Nice person, hates Trump. I spent a month at a huge house right on the Sea. Every morning for 2 weeks for 2 hours, NPR was on while I was hanging out in the pool. It was total Liberal nonsense without a shred of common sense. I wanted to drown myself how stupid it is.
Its the same in Canada and the UK.
I don't follow your line of reasoning on this topic.

KJP is leaving the Democrat Party, as outlined in her new book "Independent."
She tells her story of feeling disillusioned with Democrat politics after serving in two Democrat administrations, and calls for thinking "outside the party lines."
Hilarious. I had to lie for years, and now I’m writing a book about it.
Very Fake Tapper like .Comment -
A Florida meteorologist just went on air and said he can’t accurately report the weather anymore, because Trump’s DOGE cuts gutted the satellite data he relies on.
So not just defunding science, but sabotaging public safety.
And for what? So a billionaire surveillance firm can get another contract while Americans can’t even get a hurricane warning on time?

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians—so far. It’s all part of a sweeping effort to decriminalize political corruption. Here's what you should know...

All this bullshit it’s 100% a lie
“Grocery prices are down, gasoline prices are down…we had numerous states, 1.98 a gallon just in time for memorial day weekend.”
There is not ONE place in the country where gas is lower than $2.60. He literally lies about everything.
And Corporate media just continues to spread Trump’s lies, and refusing to call him out for them.
