Yesterday, I wrote about the arrogance at NPR and their hubris in refusing to address the obvious political bias and journalistic malfeasance their long-time editor, Uri Berliner, revealed in his whistleblower essay at The Free Press.
I finished that article with this:
They're grappling with the fallout, not the actual issues he pointed out. It's all about the fallout. They read the article about their bias and journalistic malfeasance and could only focus on the fallout, not the actual bias and journalistic problems Mr. Berliner highlighted.
Their response was to suspend the whistleblower and to go into spin mode.
It would be funny, if we weren't paying for it.
Since that article was published, there have been several developments.
Uri Berliner, the whistleblower NPR suspended without pay had now formally resigned after over 50 NPR employees sent a letter to the network bosses whining about how they felt unsafe as a result of Berliner telling the truth.
Further, independent journalist Chris Rufo did some digging on the new CEO of NPR and found that she is the quintessential, chardonnay-swigging, suburban liberal hell-bent on sending MAGA to internment camps and censoring any opposition to the Democrat regime.
The new CEO of NPR, then, is a left-wing ideologue who supports wide-scale censorship and considers the First Amendment an impediment to her campaign to sanitize the world of wrong opinions.
Maher is no aberration. She is part of a rising cohort of affluent, left-wing, female managers who dominate the departments of university administration, human resources, and DEI. They are the matriarchs of the American Longhouse: they value safety over liberty, censorship over debate, and relativism over truth.
Each social gambit is designed for smothering the institution in ideology. Maher says that she knows “that hysteric white woman voice.” She has “done it.” And while she might not be proud of it—she is aware that she has “a big fat privilege pass”—she is willing to do what it takes to move the dictates of conventional left-wing opinion into a position of domination.
So, needless to say, the case against the journalistic, propaganda audio machine known as "National Public Radio" has gotten even more intense over the past 24 hours.
This brings us to the last line of yesterday's article: "It would be funny if we weren't paying for it."
And that needs to end right now.
Not one single penny of our tax dollars should be handed over to this state-funded propaganda factory designed to prop up the elite intelligentsia's obtuse and destructive agenda and stifle any opposition in this country still trying to hold on to any semblance of free market principles and freedoms.
Republicans in the House of Representatives must move to defund NPR today!
This is not only just and sound policy, but it's also great politics. Pass this out of the House and force Democrats in the senate, especially the ones running for re-election this year, to explain to their constituents (you know, tax-paying voters) why they need to pay for this Orwellian crap.
I want to see Tim Kaine explain to Virginians who are having trouble paying for their weekly eggs, milk, and hamburger meat why they need to pay taxes to fund the one-sided, propaganda produced by NPR from their palacious studios.
Defund NPR.
Do it now.
Make Democrats explain why we need to pay for this crap.
