NPR boss Katherine Maher got grilled by Congress this week over her far-left tweets and NPR’s obvious liberal bias. Taxpayers are fed up with funding this woke outlet, and Maher’s shaky answers did nothing to calm the storm.
Maher, who once called President Trump a “deranged racist sociopath,” tried to play innocent when asked about her radical social media posts. She claimed she “regrets” the tweets but couldn’t explain why she pushed extremist books like The Case for Reparations. Conservatives aren’t buying it. If she’s this biased, why should hardworking Americans foot the bill for her newsroom’s activism?
NPR finally admitted it was “a mistake” to ignore the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election. Even Maher had to own up to that blunder. But folks are asking: was it really a mistake, or a deliberate move to help Democrats? The laptop exposed Joe Biden’s shady dealings, yet NPR acted like it didn’t exist. That’s not journalism—it’s election interference.
Republicans slammed NPR for having 87 registered Democrats in key editorial roles and zero Republicans. Maher pretended not to track party affiliations, but nobody’s fooled. How can NPR claim to be fair when its entire staff leans left? This isn’t diversity—it’s a propaganda machine dressed up as news.
Democrats tried to distract by joking about Elmo and Cookie Monster, but conservatives stayed focused. NPR’s obsession with “systemic racism” and critical race theory divides Americans instead of informing them. Tax dollars shouldn’t fund lies that paint our country as irredeemably racist.
GOP lawmakers made it clear: NPR doesn’t deserve a dime of public money. If liberals want their echo chamber, let them pay for it themselves. Why should truck drivers and farmers in flyover states bankroll coastal elites who mock their values? Defunding NPR is about fairness and stopping political brainwashing.
Democrats fought to protect their pet network, claiming NPR’s needed for “rural coverage.” But rural Americans get real news from local radio—not NPR’s lectures on white privilege. This hearing showed NPR cares more about pushing woke politics than serving everyday people.
Maher’s performance proved what conservatives already knew. NPR is a lost cause, dripping with liberal bias. It’s time to cut the cord and let this outlet survive on its own—without forcing taxpayers to subsidize its radical agenda.
