Congressional hearings are a great opportunity for Republicans to expose the Left with tough questions. In a March hearing with the CEOs of PBS and NPR, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) demonstrated how to drag them into answers they don't want to give.
He joins the Podcast alongside MRC Vice President for Free Speech Dan Schneider to discuss "public" media and the other occasions of liberal tilt. Gill made a point of how NPR CEO Katherine Maher backed financial reparations for blacks during the BLM craze in 2020. She tried to deny to Gill what she obviously tweeted then, years before she took over NPR. Clearly, the tweets encouraged NPR's leftist core when they were looking for a new leader.
After that hearing, President Trump and the Republicans succeeded in rescinding funding for PBS and NPR, but we remain vigilant about any back-sliding. Their ridiculous campaign for cash continues. When Maher appeared on Stephen Colbert's late-night leftist hootenanny on September 5, the YouTube video carried the propaganda headline “Public Media Enables Americans To Trust One Another And Make Decisions Together.”
That's shameless. "Public" media refuses to let conservatives express themselves on their platforms and tells everyone to distrust them as fascist evildoers.
We recently found that in the two months after the defunding, NPR's guest count on its evening newscast All Things Considered was 53 left-wing guests to only three conservatives. PBS NewsHour was slightly better at 98 to 21. Every study we've conducted looking for conservative appearances comes up dramatically short. On some issues -- like transgenderism -- conservatives cannot be found.
PBS News Hour recently celebrated its 50th anniversary by lying about how their program has sought to bring "depth, insight and fairness." They will try to deceive the public so they can resume the cash flow from taxpayers.
Congressman Gill also discussed the leftist tilt from Big Tech, especially our Free Speech team's recent focus on Google searches and Wikipedia. The Congressman agreed about the tech tilt: "This stuff has serious consequences, these are powerful platforms." Gill's brief biography on Wikipedia has been updated this year with information intended to scandalize liberals, like he favors a bill to put Trump's face on the $100 bill after his second term ends, and he mocked New York socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for eating with his hands.
