Oh, come ON.
Is there a single person in the United States who seriously believes that PBS and NPR are objective, non-partisan organizations?
One?
I can understand why liberals may like its content. It is a sort of Olive Garden for the midwit mind. Palatable, if you like fake Italian food and unlimited breadsticks, but just as Olive Garden is as Italian as Shepherd’s Pie, PBS and NPR are as nonpartisan as the Democratic National Committee.
Funding for local NPR stations keeps polarization OUT of local government.
President Trump’s “politically biased” argument is a lie.

And everybody knows that. It is the network of David Brooks, who believes that the mark of a great president is a sharp crease in one’s pants. It is where you go to see why making kids transgender is the only way to prevent a suicide epidemic. And NPR is where you go when you need to be told that you are a very good person because you hate Republicans.
(2/5) NPR reported that country music and birds are racist, told American people to stop eating beef, and promoted the Russia-gate conspiracy.

(4/5) NPR reported that there is no evidence that biological men have an unfair advantage over biological women in sports.
NPR also called America’s interstate highways racist.
I did not know our highways were racist. I thought they were concrete, but not according to NPR. pic.twitter.com/O1vCqlc4JY

If you are under the illusion that there is no partisan bent to NPR’s and PBS’ coverage, feel free to turn yourself into a pretzel explaining why Democrats are so eager to save it and Republicans have been trying to defund it for years. If you really think it is about covering the weather, as some Democrats claim, you aren’t even a midwit.
Has anyone—anyone—turned to PBS or NPR to get weather alerts about tropical storms and hurricanes?

But let’s face it, everybody who says anything so ridiculous isn’t THAT stupid. They can breathe, after all, and that is about the level of sentience you need to see that these organizations are left-wing to the core.
We need objective news like PBS. The Fourth estate enables Democracy to function because it holds those in power accountable through reporting news about local, state, national and international news.
PBS, NPR, CPB, & VOA need FULL FUNDING for the sake of an informed public. https://t.co/7cGIeYzEDr— Save Democracy and Vote! Save USPS (@postofficetruth) July 13, 2025
In fact, Uri Berliner, who worked there for 25 years, wrote a piece explaining that NPR is biased, and they forced him out for saying so. Not one of NPR’s reporters contributed to Republicans, but over 80 contributed to Democrats.
Nonpartisan? I think not.
Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.

The same people who have been agitating for censorship of social media and even news organizations are simultaneously going to bat for government propaganda outlets. They are all in favor of the Soviet model of news and entertainment–all propaganda, all the time.
NPR Chief Katherine Maher says “We’re a non-partisan news organization.”

Unfortunately, there is actually a cohort of overeducated liberals who honestly believe that NPR and PBS are the gold standard of reporting, and that making cartoons about the wonders of drag and “top surgery” is a great leap forward in educating our kids.
This is the CEO of NPR.
Our tax dollars should not be paying her salary.

They are welcome to believe that, but not to our tax dollars to push that crap onto the airwaves.
After stopping herself from reading in its entirety Trump’s Truth Social post blasting PBS and NPR as biased (“I’m not even going to read that”), CNN’s Dana Bash insists “rural communities rely on public broadcasting still”

These “nonprofits” claim that they get almost no money from the government, but then tell us that they cannot function without government subsidies. This is the quality of their “reporting.” Two contradictory things are true at once, because that is Critical Theory at work.
Even their claims that rural America depends on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for weather reports is an unconscious admission that they haven’t a clue about Middle America. There is not a single person who does not have other sources of information about the weather.
I even get alerts on my phone, which is equipped with automatic emergency alerts. They all are.
It’s gaslighting. Which, to be fair, is quite on brand.
UPDATE: To see the quality of “news” on PBS, watch this interview by the execrable Christina Amanpour. An entire case is made by a former MI-6 head based on the lie that the Druze are Muslim.
In striking Damascus and beyond, “what Israel is looking for, I think, is a fragmented Syria – one which is weak and divided,” says former British spy chief John Sawers. “That’s a miscalculation… I don’t think Israeli actions were at all helpful.” pic.twitter.com/iw0PtkFf5x
— Christiane Amanpour (@amanpour) July 16, 2025
Really intelligent. Neither the interviewer nor the interviewee knew that the Druze have a longstanding relationship with Israel, and that they are definitely not Muslim. That is why they are being persecuted in the first place.
FFS. It’s pure bovine excrement, presented as highbrow news for the well-educated.
