The NPR, PBS Grift Has Ripped Us Off for Too Long

For years, American taxpayers have been on the hook for subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as "news."

As President Trump has stated, taxpayer funding of NPR's and PBS's biased content is a waste.

Here are some examples of the trash that passes for "news" at NPR and PBS:

• In 2024, NPR ran a Valentine's Day feature around "queer animals," in which it suggested the make-believe clownfish in Finding Nemo would've been better off as a female, that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites," and that "some deer are nonbinary."
• In 2024, PBS produced a documentary making the case for reparations.
• In 2023, PBS's Washington Week roundtable covered up Joe Biden's clear mental decline, with far-left "journalist" Jeff Goldberg claiming Biden is actually "quite acute."
• In 2022, NPR educated the nation on the "whole community of genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts" and "trans-ceratops."
• In 2021, a PBS station aired a "children's program" that featured a drag queen named "Lil' Miss Hot Mess."
• In 2021, NPR reported on the "cousin of diet culture" known as "healthism, which is the idea that we have to be healthy" - as if that was a bad thing.
• In 2021, NPR suggested doorway sizes are based on "latent fatphobia."
• In 2021, NPR lamented that "animals deserve pronouns, too."
• In 2022, NPR ran a feature titled "What 'Queer Ducks' can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom."
• In 2020, PBS show Sesame Street partnered with CNN for a town hall aimed presenting children with a one-sided narrative to "address racism" amid the Black Lives Matter riots.
• In 2020, NPR explored "the racial origins of fat phobia."
• In 2017, NPR ran a story titled "Cannibalism: It's 'Perfectly Natural,'" in which an author describes eating another human's placenta: "It was really the prep that made it taste good. Granted, the [husband] was a chef and so he knew how to prepare it osso bucco style and used a really nice wine I had brought. It smelled great. It didn't taste bad."
• In 2017, PBS aired a panel devoted to what it "mean[s] to be woke" and "white privilege."
• In 2017, PBS produced an entire movie celebrating a transgender teenager's so-called "changing gender identity."
• In 2015, NPR dedicated an entire segment to the "population of anthropomorphic animal enthusiasts known as 'furries.'"

NPR and PBS have zero tolerance for non-leftist viewpoints:

• In 2020, NPR refused to cover the explosive Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the runup to the election, baselessly claiming there were "many, many red flags" and its "assertions don't amount to much."
  • NPR wrote: "We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners' and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions."
• When a 25-year veteran NPR reporter and editor spoke out about the network's refusal to report on the Hunter Biden laptop - and their obsession with liberal causes - they suspended him.
  • The editor found that registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans 87 to zero in their newsroom.
  • NPR prolifically reported on the Russian collusion hoax, with the editor describing "[Adam] Schiff talking points" as "the drumbeat of NPR news reports."
  • NPR management asked its editors to avoid the term "biological sex" when discussing transgender issues.
• NPR CEO Katherine Maher once called President Trump "racist," shared a photo of herself wearing a "Biden for President" campaign hat, serves on the board of a Soros-funded activist group, and described the "reverence for the truth" as a "distraction."
• In 2023, a study found that congressional Republicans saw 85% negative coverage while congressional Democrats saw 54% positive coverage on PBS's flagship news program.
• According to a 2024 study, PBS news staff used 162 variations of the term "far-right," but only six variations of "far-left."
• Media bias rating agency AllBias - which surveyed nearly 24,000 readers - found NPR's bias aligns with "liberal, progressive or left-wing thought and/or policy agendas."
• In 2010, NPR terminated journalist Juan Williams, who said it was because he was not a "predictable, black liberal."
• NPR repeatedly dismissed the theory that COVID-19 originated in a lab - a conclusion now deemed likely by the FBI, CIA, and Department of Energy.
  • April 2020: "Scientists Debunk Lab Accident Theory Of Pandemic Emergence"
  • May 2020: "As Trump Pushes Theory Of Virus Origins, Some See Parallels In Lead-Up To Iraq War"
  • May 2021: "Many Scientists Still Think The Coronavirus Came From Nature"
  • March 2023: "Virologist says COVID origin report could make it harder to study dangerous diseases"
  • September 2024: "New research points to raccoon dogs in Wuhan market as pandemic trigger. It's controversial"
• A 2024 Media Research Center study found that PBS's coverage of the Republican National Convention was 72% negative, while coverage of the Democratic National Convention was 88% positive.
