Katherine Maher, Executive Director and President of NPR (National Public Radio), and Paula Kerger, Executive Director and President of PBS (Public Transmission Service), are scheduled to testify why “the coverage of demonstrably partial news that they produce for an increasingly narrow and elitist audience must continue to be financed by the broad contributing public,” according to a press release of the subcommittee.

Less than 1% of NPR funds come directly from the federal government, although other funds indirectly come from subsidies and dollars assigned to the local member stations that then pay NPR rates.

“They spend more money than any other network of their ever conceived, so the type of money that is being wasted, and it is a very partial vision, you know better than anyone,” Trump said. “And I would feel honored to see what ends. We are well covered. Look at all the people we have here today. We are well covered, and we do not need it, and it is a loss of money especially. I don’t even know what Doge recommendation is. I guess your recommendation is to close them. ”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-G., Who Presidents of the Doge SubcommitteeHe said he believes that Maher and Kerger should justify his need for federal funds.

“I want to know why NPR and PBS think they should receive a single penny of the American taxpayer,” Greene said.

“These partisan stations, called ‘Media’ dropped the ball on the laptop of Hunter Biden, the COVID-19 origins, and could not properly inform Russian collusion deception,” he added. “Now, it is time for their CEO to publicly explain this biased coverage. Federal taxpayers should not be forced to pay for unilateral reports, which attacks the middle of the country to protect and promote their own political interests. I hope to work with the Trump administration to stop allowing the misuse of taxpayers’ funds to the purposes of the partisanes.”
