Pointing out NPR's blatant bias here has always been sure to invite biting personal criticism. NPR is a liberal sacred cow but now the curtain has been pulled back. From their own staff to liberal darling James Carville criticisms and admissions of bias and lack of objectivity abound.
Level headed people were never fooled.
Excuse me while I dodge slings and arrows of indignation.

HR 8083, aka the Defund NPR Act, was introduced in the previous session of Congress by Rep. Jim Banks, R-IN.
Banks is feared by the leftists in Congress. He was proposed by the Republican minority leader for Pelosi’s Jan. 6 committee. Speaker Pelosi, however, refused to allow him and others of Rep. McCarthy’s choices on the committee. She chose Liz Cheney whose father was called a war criminal by Democrats. Banks was also the target of a left wing plot to kick various Republicans off the ballot.
Rep. Bob Good, R-VA, co-sponsor of the bill said NPR has a history of promoting “anti-American narratives.” That was underscored by a former editor at NPR, Uri Berliner, who resigned from the network after writing an op-Ed essentially outlining the far left, close minded bias at NPR since CEO Katherine Maher took over (NBC Montana 4/19/24).
NPR has become an echo chamber for the most extreme of leftist thinking. Taxpayers should not waste another penny on them. Rep. Banks' bill should be at the top of the DOGE list this year.
