Defunding the Deceivers: Congress Finally Guts NPR and PBS

At long last, Congress has pulled the plug on America’s most dishonest “public” broadcasters. Led by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R‑TN), the full rescission package cut $9 billion in spending—including $1.1 billion ripped directly from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That ends the taxpayer gravy train that’s been fattening NPR and PBS for decades, as reported by Newsmax.

Yes, this is proof positive of conservative fiscal housekeeping in action, but it’s also a long-overdue reckoning for the sake of truth in broadcasting.

My Encounters with NPR: A Front-Row Seat to Corruption

I’ve had the displeasure of working directly with NPR on several occasions. In each case, they revealed themselves to be dishonest, cowardly, and fully subservient to globalist interests. These aren’t merely left-leaning journalists—they’re narrative gatekeepers who protect elites while pretending to inform the public. They lie, they conceal, and they sanitize the truth in service to the powers who control them. All the while, they’ve been grossly neglecting the public trust they were commissioned serve. 

Case In Point

This month’s catastrophic floods in Texas exposed NPR’s failure in real time. As over 120 people died in the Hill Country—many swept away at Camp Mystic—NPR waited a staggering 19 hours before issuing any serious public alert.

While local churches scrambled to shelter the vulnerable and volunteers fought to save children from rising waters, NPR sat in silence. No urgent alerts. No breaking coverage. No national push to get information to the public. For nearly a full day, they ignored one of the deadliest domestic disasters in years.

When a taxpayer-funded media outlet fails to lift a finger while lives are lost by the hour, it ceases to be a public service. It becomes a liability.

NPR and PBS just lost over a billion taxpayer dollars. And they earned every penny of that loss. Congress finally acted on what millions of Americans already knew: these networks serve ideology, not the nation. If they want to survive, let them do it the way honest outlets do—on their own dime.

“It is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)

For years, NPR hid behind the veil of “public service” while unfaithfully pushing private agendas. But God is exposing what they refuse to admit—and now, so is Congress.

Good riddance to federally funded propaganda.
