Katherine Maher

While many in the White House press corps used their time Thursday afternoon to show sudden concern about transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, there were a few others who asked real questions about socialist Zohran Mamdani, Christians abroad, hospitals ending transgender surgeries for minors, reopening Alcatraz and, most importantly for those of us at the Media Research Center, the…

After the Senate passed President Trump’s rescission package early Thursday morning that, among other things, clawed back federal funding for PBS and NPR, CBS Mornings teed up an interview it did with NPR CEO Katherine Maher, who claimed the move “would be a tremendous tragedy.”

On Wednesday afternoon, it wasn’t a shock that PBS CEO Paula Kerger surfaced on CNN for an interview soaked in elitist condescension and lies, just hours after Katherine Maher of NPR did the same. Both appeared as $1 billion in government funding is on the chopping block ahead of a possible Senate vote. The worst part was at the end with Kerger claiming she doesn’t see any basis in “an…

With $1 billion in taxpayer funding on the line as part of a rescission package the Senate could vote on late Wednesday, PBS and NPR have teamed with their liberal media allies to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at trying to maintain the farce of non-partisan, robust, and unique local programming that saves lives. That was the message Wednesday morning from NPR CEO Katherine Maher on CNN’s…

Between Monday night and Tuesday afternoon, liberal TV networks and streaming platforms went to bat in some horribly misleading and embarrassing lengths for their comrades in bias PBS and NPR amid the expected Senate vote this week on a rescission package to claw back $1 billion in funding for the far-left outlets. Along with insulting rural Americans, the new spin included tying the Texas…

July 14: Katie Couric labels Trump’s MAGA ‘a s*** show.’

So the House Republicans voted to end taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR. NPR CEO Katherine Maher has repeatedly claimed, in the face of avalanches of evidence, that she has never witnessed any bias at NPR. That’s beyond ridiculous. You can find it, day after day, hour on the hour. This week’s Los Angeles rioting provided plenty of exhibits.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher recently traveled to London for the city’s SXSW festival because, apparently, she thinks London is the place to be when she needs to convince American lawmakers not to rescind her federal funding. While in London, Maher sat down for an interview with CNN International’s Max Foster that aired on his Monday installment of What We Know, where she insisted that NPR…

Over and over again, the prominent artificial intelligence concern discussed, from industry leaders to…

On Tuesday, The Trump administration sent its rescission package to Capitol Hill, asking Congress to claw back $9.4 billion in approved spending, including $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Give her credit: Chief executive Katherine Maher is not afraid to look ridiculous on her quest to save National Public Radio from the federal chopping block. On Thursday’s edition of the Wall Street Journal’s podcast, hosted by Ryan Knutson and Jessica Mendoza, Maher claimed "we are consistently found to be centrist in reporting....we are a nonpartisan news organization."

Did Google just use leftist Wikipedia to cover for news outlets that are due for a reckoning?

MRC researchers asked Google Search on Thursday whether NPR and PBS hid the Hunter Biden laptop story. At the top of the two searches, Google’s artificial intelligence weighed in with an emphatic no, citing none other than…

Katherine Maher, CEO of National Public Radio, continued her sympathy tour to save NPR from the Trump administration’s executive order, with a pit stop at NPR’s publicly funded cohort, PBS’s News Hour program. When gently challenged that Trump says NPR lacks viewpoint diversity, she comically claimed: "I first of all, respond by saying we're a nonpartisan news organization." 

NPR argues with a straight face that removing any taxpayer subsidies is a violation of the First Amendment. Apparently, liberal speech must be forcibly supported by conservative taxpayers for the Constitution to be upheld. Trained lawyer Dan Schneider exposes the nonsense.
