Conservatives have wanted to yank taxpayer funding for National Public Radio for years. Could it finally happen?
Two Republicans, one in the Senate and one in the House, have introduced a new bill that would accomplish this task, and in our current environment of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, the time is right to strike.
Even liberal law professor Jonathan Turley recently said it was time to end NPR’s taxpayer funded gravy train.
The GOP needs to get this done.
Breitbart News reported:
Exclusive – Sen. Jim Banks, Rep. Kat Cammack Introduce Bill To Defund ‘Liberal Propaganda’ NPR
Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) believe American taxpayers shouldn’t be keeping National Public Radio (NPR) afloat.
The pair are introducing legislation in their respective chambers to put an end to taxpayer subsidizing of the notoriously left-leaning media outlet, Breitbart News learned exclusively Wednesday.
“Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund NPR’s liberal propaganda,” Banks told Breitbart News. “If NPR can’t stay afloat without government funding, that tells you all you need to know about the quality of their news.”
Banks’ Defund NPR Act would prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio by amending section 396 of the Communications Act so that no funds may, directly or indirectly, be made available to or used to support the National Public Radio, including through the payment of dues to or the purchase of programming from the organization.
Conservatives should not be forced to fund a news organization that does nothing but attack conservatives.

If the left loves NPR, let them fund it with donations from their wealthy liberal allies in Hollywood, of their buddy George Soros.
