In May, The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump called on Congress to “immediately” defund National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) following a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing, which exposed the stations’ already well-known bias and radical content.
“Don’t miss this opportunity to rid our Country of this giant SCAM, both being arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party,” the President told Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress.
Republicans on the committee grilled NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger on Wednesday over their anti-Trump bias and the extreme, woke programming on the stations. This includes documentaries about transvestites and transitioning, “Racist Trees,” and exposing young children, including toddlers, to so-called educational programming that featured a cross-dressing freak.
Kerger joined CNN on Wednesday and claimed that “People often struggle to come up with examples” of left-wing bias at PBS.

PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger on CNN this morning: “People often struggle to come up with examples” of left-wing bias at PBS.
Actually, it’s not a struggle at all.
Here are just a few of PBS’s biggest whiffs:

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) noted finding examples of left-wing bias at the network is “not a struggle at all.”
“In Louisiana, a PBS video claimed that pre-schoolers ‘may have racial bias’,” Kennedy wrote on X.
“PBS affiliates also advocated for males in women’s sports to have ‘support in their push for athletic access.’”
“They have the right to say this stuff—but not with your money.”

Kennedy continued, “Even worse, PBS pushed so-called ‘gender-affirming care for youth’ and released woke ‘anti-racist’ talking points for ‘[t]alking to young children about race and racism.’”
“Should taxpayers really be funding PBS’s hot takes on ‘the hidden racism of young white Americans’”?

“PBS also thought it was a good idea to cover ‘a blueprint for the case against Trump’ and claim that Gov. Sarah Palin ‘ushered in’ the ‘post-truth’ political era in which Trump has thrived,” he added.
“Give me a break.”

“Thanks to President Trump’s rescission package, taxpayers may finally be able to get out of the business of deeply weird, left-wing media,” he concluded.
“That’s a good thing.”
