Arizona’s Paul Gosar Will Push to Defund NPR Over Outlet’s Support for Joe Biden

[Sybil Ludington]

Why is NPR publicly funded, again?

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar announced he’d introduce legislation to defund National Public Radio, a federally-funded media organization that has taken to partisan defense of Joe Biden and Democrats.


NPR operates as a publicly-funded government entity, but its left-wing editorial stance has become increasingly obvious during the 2020 Presidential campaign. The outlet explained its editorial decision to smugly dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop story in a Thursday tweet, claiming the exposé of Biden family corruption and overseas business deals were a “distraction” and that NPR didn’t want to “waste the readers and listener’s time.”

Representative Gosar made it clear in response that the outlet had worn out its commission to be politically neutral, stating that it’s time for NPR to be defunded.

He may as well introduce legislation forbidding the tide to come in, but I suppose one has to feed the base.

NPR is mostly funded by corporate and individual donations.
I imagine even if he wins the lottery, he'll lose because those entities will just increase their contributions.

Defunding means the taxpayer dollars. I wonder if you knew that?

From your link: Only 4 percent of funding in fiscal year 2017 came from federal, state and local governments, according to NPR, and on average, less than 1 percent of its annual operating budget comes from federal agencies and departments or grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
