Katherine Maher
Trump’s Rumble on Sesame Street
President Donald Trump has fought plenty of political heavyweights, but now he’s up against a foe far tougher than Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris: Big Bird. The president is ordering federal agencies and the taxpayer-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop supporting National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. His May 1 executive order is titled “Ending Taxpayer…
NewsBusters Podcast: Trump Takes On Hostile Media, Unlike Hidin' Biden
On Sunday, President Trump tangled with NBC's Kristen Welker, after he had verbal combat with ABC's Terry Moran and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic. Four years ago, President Biden granted no interviews to the liberal media. They didn't care. Once again, Trump is punished for granting broad access to hostile journalists.
CBS's Brennan Lines Up NPR and PBS CEOs to Dismiss Incessant Bias
One really easy way to know that TV journalists are Democrats is how they rush to defense of PBS and NPR and use all the same arguments that Democrats have made in congressional hearings and social media. They willfully ignore the incessant bias of "public" broadcasting and deflect back to kiddie shows like Sesame Street, as if that's anything like comparing Trump to Hitler. On Sunday…
NPR CEO Claims They Are 'Foundational Infrastructure For Our Country'
NPR CEO Katherine Maher traveled over to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday to ring the alarm bells over what could happen should NPR lose its federal money. Maher painted a nightmarish scenario where people go without news, Sesame Street gets shut down, and political polarization increases because, according to her, public media is the “foundational infrastructure…
Wikipedia Promotes NPR, PBS All While Effectively Blacklisting Right
Wikipedia handles the leftist propagandists at National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) with kid gloves, all while it bars editors from citing nearly every right-leaning media source.
NPR Airs Money Pitch from CEO: 'We Don't Hate Anyone In Public Media'
Wednesday night sounded like "Protect My Public Media" night on NPR and PBS. NPR's All Things Considered put on their CEO Katherine Maher for what was basically seven-minute pledge drive for federal funding. She unveiled another unintentional laugh line. Asked about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene saying they'd have to "hate us on your own dime," Maher claimed "We don't hate anyone in…
PBS News Segment Defends Taxpayer Funding, Dismisses Bias Criticism!
Wednesday’s PBS News Hour covered the Trump administration’s efforts to cut taxpayer funding for PBS and National Public Radio. PBS didn’t present its critics beyond generalities, while anchor Amna Nawaz and reporter William Brangham took the opportunity to lobby for themselves. Anchor Amna Nawaz: As we have been reporting, the Trump administration wants to cut the federal funds that…
MRCTV's Justine Brooke Murray Recounts Trying to Visit NPR and PBS
As I noted during the OANN segment, how can public media comply with its “strict adherence to objectivity and balance” when NPR CEO Katherine Maher believes truth is a “distraction?”
PolitiFact Pads Its PBS Pals By Flagging MTG as 'FALSE' on Drag Queens
PolitiFact -- which has a partnership with PBS -- avoided "fact checking" the PBS and NPR CEOs claiming to Congress they were nonpartisan. Instead of choosing the most obvious lie, PolitiFact threw a “False” rating at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for a statement that was more of an opinion than a factual statement. She said "they now have drag queen story time instead of good old ‘Sesame…
LA Times: PBS Is 'Fair and Balanced,' Despite What Conservatives Say
Los Angeles Times TV critic Robert Lloyd heaped scorn on conservatives while defending the indefensible –taxpayer-funded PBS and National Public Radio – as “fair and balanced” in Wednesday’s paper, in a long column under the long title “PBS and NPR cater to all Americans, despite what Marjorie Taylor Greene might believe.”
PBS/NPR Promote Nutty Yale Professor Leaving for Canada Over 'Fascism'
PBS and NPR are shamelessly demonstrating their leftist broadcasting powers in the wake of going to Capitol Hill and lying about how they’re interested in “delivering unbiased, nonpartisan fact-based reporting.” Both networks are now promoting leftist Yale professor and self-anointed fascism experts Jason Stanley to explain why he's leaving for Canada because America is sinking into fascism…
WashPost Touts 'Enormous Value' of Tax-Funded 'ALLEGEDLY Liberal' NPR
The Washington Post came running to the rescue of its liberal friends at NPR on Wednesday. Former Post media reporter reviewed a book on the history of NPR, touting it was "money well spent by the government" despite its "allegedly
Bill Maher Favors Defunding PBS and NPR: 'They Have To Be Private'
On the "Overtime" segment of his HBO show, Bill Maher was asked about the House DOGE hearing on PBS and NPR bias. He said "My namesake, Katherine Maher, was head of NPR, and she said 'we're completely unbiased.' Give me a break, lady! I mean, they're crazy far-left." He favors defunding PBS and NPR.
Column: The New York Times Defends Their P.R. Partners at PBS and NPR
The House DOGE subcommittee presses the CEOs of PBS and NPR about their biases, but The New York Times warned of "dark pronouncements by Republicans" in "a fiery hearing that represented the latest salvo against the American press by close allies of the Trump administration.” Exposing liberal bias is "anti-press." The Times attacking Fox News is not "anti-press."
