Tax-Funded PBS, NPR Eagerly Push Planned Parenthood 'Study' of Rapes

January 29th, 2024 6:43 AM

PBS and NPR are funded by taxpayers – federal, state, and local. But they’re “owned” by the Left. Look no further than a very biased Planned Parenthood study fishing numbers out of the air to assert that there were more than 64,000 “people” who became pregnant from rapes in red states with abortion bans. No one who would criticize or even question this effort was allowed on air.

PBS Takes Up Issue of Homelessness, But Biden Blame Is Brushed Off
