President Trump’s bold move to defund NPR and PBS has sparked fierce support from conservatives. Carl Higbie tore into the networks on his show, calling them mouthpieces for left-wing propaganda. He celebrated Trump’s executive order cutting taxpayer funding, saying it’s time to stop forcing hardworking Americans to bankroll biased journalism.
Higbie didn’t hold back, slamming NPR and PBS for pushing fake stories like the Russia collusion hoax and downplaying the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. He argued these outlets have abandoned real reporting to push a radical agenda. Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for networks that mock their values, he said.
The White House confirmed the defunding order targets NPR and PBS, which together rake in over half a billion dollars yearly from public funds. Conservatives cheered the decision, saying it’s wrong to force truck drivers and factory workers to pay for coastal elites’ news. This is about fairness and stopping the left’s grip on public airwaves.
Republican Rep. James Comer backed the move, recalling how NPR once did a hit piece on him by copying liberal blogs. He grew up listening to public radio but says it’s now unrecognizable—a shadow of its former self pushing lies. Defunding these networks is a no-brainer, Comer insisted, since they’ve become propaganda machines.
Higbie mocked NPR’s leadership for apologizing during recent hearings but refusing to change. They admitted fault on major stories like COVID’s origins yet still demand taxpayer cash. Why reward failure? It’s like paying a mechanic who wrecks your car, Higbie joked.
The push to cut funding has united Republicans, who see it as defending free speech from government-backed bias. Let NPR and PBS survive on their own if they’re so popular, conservatives argue. Real journalism doesn’t need subsidies—it earns trust by being fair and accurate.
Trump’s team, including budget director Russell Vought, says this is just the start. They’re slashing wasteful spending across the board, putting America first. Defunding corrupt media is a patriotic move to drain the swamp and restore honesty in news.
Across middle America, working families are cheering this victory. They’re tired of being lectured by out-of-touch reporters who hate their way of life. By cutting the cord on NPR and PBS, Trump is standing up for the silent majority—and putting the elites on notice.
