In the wake of a bombshell report that exposed National Public Radio’s extreme left-wing bias, Indiana Rep. Jim Banks is introducing a bill to defund the media outlet.
“NPR’s new CEO is a radical, left-wing activist who doesn’t believe in free speech or objective journalism. Hoosiers shouldn’t be writing her paychecks. Katherine Maher isn’t qualified to teach an introductory journalism class, much less capable of responsibly spending millions of American tax dollars,” Banks says.
“NPR was a liberal looney bin under the last CEO John Lansing, and it’s about to get even nuttier. It’s time to pull the plug on this national embarrassment. Congress must stop spending other people’s hard-earned money on low-grade propaganda,” he added.
Earlier this month senior NPR editor Uri Berliner wrote an article for the Free Press exposing the far-left bias of NPR, including that the Washington D.C. bureau employs 87 registered Democrats and zero registered Republicans.
Berliner was suspended for five days without pay before resigning.
