congress I am writing to ask you to stand up and call out the absurd, offensive, and harmful efforts by MTG and MAGA to defund NPR and PBS. Enough is enough - stand up and fight back - they are killing everything though this is about education, informed humans, etc… As a friend informed me - “DOGE Subcommittee Announces NPR and PBS Leaders will Testify on March 26 WASHINGTON—Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) today announced the Chief Executive Officers of National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) will testify at a hearing titled “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable” on March 26, 2025. The CEOs will be asked to explain why the demonstrably biased news coverage they produce for an increasingly narrow and elitist audience should continue to be funded by the broad taxpaying public. Both organizations have repeatedly undermined the trust of Americans by ignoring stories that were damaging to the Biden Administration, dismissing calls to perform more balanced reporting, and continuing to pursue partisan coverage. This hearing will assess whether the American taxpayer should continue to subsidize.”
