President Trump Finally Ends the Madness of NPR, PBS

President Donald J. Trump has  signed an executive order ending the taxpayer subsidization of National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) — entities that receive tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds each year to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as “news.”

Here are some examples of the trash that has passed for “news” at NPR and PBS:

• NPR ran a story titled “Cannibalism: It’s ‘Perfectly Natural,’” in which an author described 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 2021, NPR declared the Declaration of Independence to be a document with “flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.”
  • In 2022, NPR scrapped its decades-long Independence Day tradition of reading the Declaration of Independence on air to instead discuss “equality.”
  • NPR subsequently issued an “editor’s note” warning the Declaration of Independence is “a document that contains offensive language.”
• NPR apologized for calling illegal immigrants “illegal.”
• NPR sounded the alarm about young men who abstain from masturbating to pornography.
• NPR featured a Valentine’s Day story centered 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.”
• PBS devoted a panel to what it “mean[s] to be woke” and “white privilege.”
• NPR routinely promotes the chemical and surgical mutilation of children as so-called “gender-affirming care” without mentioning the irreversible damage caused by these procedures.
• In 2021, a PBS station aired a “children’s program” that featured a drag queen named “Lil’ Miss Hot Mess.”
• NPR educated the nation on the “whole community of genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts” and “trans-ceratops.”
• Then-PBS White House Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor characterized President Trump’s patriotic 2020 Mount Rushmore speech as a love letter to “white resentment” that promoted the “myth of America.”
• 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.
• NPR assigned three reporters to investigate how the thumbs-up emoji is racist.
• NPR suggested doorway sizes are based on “latent fatphobia.”
• PBS produced an entire movie celebrating a transgender teenager’s so-called “changing gender identity.”
• NPR absurdly claimed “limited scientific evidence of physical advantage” exists between male and female athletes.
• NPR lamented that “animals deserve pronouns, too.”
• NPR ran a feature titled “What ‘Queer Ducks’ can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom.”
• In 2023, PBS’s Washington Week roundtable covered up Joe Biden’s clear mental decline, with far-left “journalist” Jeffrey Goldberg claiming Biden was actually “quite acute.”
• NPR dedicated an entire segment to the “population of anthropomorphic animal enthusiasts known as ‘furries.’”
• PBS produced a documentary making the case for reparations.
• NPR disparagingly referred to pro-life Americans at the March for Life as “anti-abortion rights activists.”
• NPR explored “the racial origins of fat phobia.”
• NPR management asked its editors to avoid the term “biological sex” when discussing transgender issues.
• PBS show Sesame Street partnered with CNN on a one-sided narrative to “address racism” amid the Black Lives Matter riots.

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 its “assertions don’t amount to much” and writing they “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 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 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 “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.”
• 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.
