Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks NPR and PBS as ‘communist,’ calls for funding to ‘end’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday used a DOGE subcommittee hearing to call for the defunding and dismantling of the company that provides NPR and PBS with federal funds.

For Taylor Greene and other House Republicans, Wednesday’s hearing was about tarnishing PBS and NPR with accusations of bias and targeting them for defunding. For the broadcasters, it was about defending their existence.

The hearing, titled “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable,” started at 10 a.m. ET, and featured testimony from NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger, as well as a local station operator and a conservative critic of taxpayer-funded media.
