Defund NPR and PBS
Of course she knew and of course she knows NPR is completely biased in all aspects of its existence and reporting.

I'll bet a year in prison for perjury would do her a world of good.

Everyone knows she is lying, and yet she sits there and denies the truth- under oath, I presume, but regardless of legalities, this is a person with no honor and no apparent integrity, and she should resign.

I like how she says her views have evolved over the last "half decade" as though 5 years were a long time. I have underwear older




"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

All NPR stations aren’t the same, my local one is terrible… all they ever discuss is gender politics and racism… Boston’s NPR is more even handed and quite good.

So, it really depends on the local affiliate.

Yeah, NPR’s reporting style is ‘quite good’ at reporting a polished and professional ‘sounding’ so-called “news” story, while they deliberately LEAVE OUT the important FACTS that do not support their narrative.

NPR needs to take a collective flying fuck and be defunded!!

We have 3 NPR affiliate stations here locally. The ONLY Public Radio station that I listen to is the one playing CLASSICAL music.

To this, I'll add that she's so unbearably smug, she needs to have the taste slapped out of her mouth.

The headline says it all.

When Maher calls them out this way, either the NPR/PBS cabal has fucked themselves out of federal funding, or someone is slipping Mahar red pills.

Is it just a coincidence that NPR stations are almost universally in the left-most position on the dial?

Yes, defund them immediately! There are so many of these stations across the US and they gobble up bandwidth. Cut the funding and some of the stations may be taken off the airways.

The blatant, intelligence-insulting dishonesty of this smug leftist is undeniable:

91.9 MHz and below has been reserved for non-commercial / Education stations (NCE's).

Some exceptions to this rule, but that's the way it is. College stations (in general) end up at 91.9 and below as well since they too are NCE's.

These NCE stations don't pay a license fee, FWIW.

NCE's were generally lower power stations, and at the time there were some small technical reasons based on engineering to put lower power stations at the lower part of the band, but I won't get into that right now.
