Why are the American people funding a state-run propaganda machine? It’s bad enough when regime media uses their own money to spread lies, but it’s downright insulting when “we the people” are forced to bankroll our own brainwashing. This has been the argument of NPR critics for years, with countless pushes to defund the left-wing outlet, especially as they churn out fake news and progressive propaganda under the guise of “neutrality.”

It’s laughable.

But now, thanks to President Trump’s historic landslide victory and the creation of his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy (and Ron Paul)—we finally have a real shot at cutting NPR off from taxpayer funds. It’s time for them to stand on their own two liberal feet, without leaning on the wallets of hardworking Americans.

And this move comes at a damning moment for NPR, fresh off a scandal where they suspended a journalist for daring to call them out on their radical left-wing agenda. It’s clear—state-run media has no place in a free society. With DOGE’s investigation, there’s real hope that NPR will finally be forced to either fund their own fake news or start reporting real news that appeals to everyone. Either way, the days of taxpayers footing the bill for their propaganda machine may soon come to an end.

This is yet another perfect example of why NPR should not be taxpayer-funded.

CATO:

Uri Berliner, a 25-year-long journalist at National Public Radio (NPR), recently resigned from his job after being suspended because he wrote about the entrenched left-wing/woke mindset at NPR, calling it a “progressive silo.” Berliner’s tell-all confirms what media critics have long known, and reveals why taxpayer funding of the news media is not a good idea.

It would not matter whether NPR was liberally biased or conservatively biased. The bottom line is that if politicians (bureaucrats) control the funding of the news, then the news likely will be politicized.

NPR, a non-profit media organization, was founded in 1970 by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which had been established by Congress in 1967 under the Public Broadcasting Act. NPR receives funding from private donors, corporate sponsors, foundations, and federal, state, and local government. The federal funding comes from the CPB, which provides grants to local radio stations that, in turn, pay to use content created by NPR, such as the news programs All Things Considered and Morning Edition.

According to NPR, “federal funding is essential to public radio’s service to the American public, and the programming fees from the local stations “comprise a significant portion of NPR’s largest source of revenue.” (NPR’s emphasis.) “The loss of federal funding would undermine the stations’ ability to pay NPR for programming, thereby weakening the institution,” the news outlets’s website insists.

The loss of federal revenue would result in “less journalism,” added NPR. Yet Berliner’s revelations suggest our tax dollars are sometimes paying for propaganda and not straightforward journalism.

Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on Fox Business, telling Maria Bartiromo that DOGE will be investigating NPR as a potential black hole of taxpayer waste.

BREAKING: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announces DOGE may defund NPR.

“We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR, that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda.”

Rep. MTG is leading a House subcommittee that will work with Elon Musk/Vivek Ramaswamy’s Dept. of Govt. Efficiency.

The folks at NPR should be nervous right now. After all, the guy who made Twitter run far more efficiently after he cut 80 percent of the staff, is now eyeballing them.

The folks at NPR must be losing sleep right now. After all, DOGE is headed by the man who made Twitter great again by slashing 80% of its bloated staff—and turning it into a success story.

Elon Musk knows how to run lean, mean, money-making machines, and he’s bringing that same strategy to the US—trimming the pork fat that’s been dragging us down for decades. From where we’re sitting, cutting off funding for “fake news” is the perfect place to start.
