On Wednesday, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) laid out the case for his House colleagues to vote to save American taxpayers a billion dollars by rescinding funding for NPR and PBS, both of which promote radical leftist propaganda obnoxious to most Americans.
“China has state-sponsored media. North Korea has state-sponsored media. The United States does not need taxpayer-funded propaganda,” Rep. Gill said in remarks on the House floor during debate over Pres. Donald Trump’s request that Congress rescind the money appropriated, but not yet obligated, to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funnels taxpayer money to NPR and PBS.
“We have the opportunity this week to rescind a billion dollars that is in the pipeline right now for NPR and PBS - two outlets that routinely spew anti-American and anti-Christian propaganda,” Rep. Gill explained:
“They sow racial division in this country and they promote weird, woke values that most Americans find disgusting.”
“Let’s pass this rescission bill. Let’s end taxpayer-funded propaganda and let’s take our country back,” Rep. Gill urged House members.

Last month, Pres. Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the taxpayer-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to cease federal funding of the two leftist propaganda machines.
“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” the president explains in his “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media” executive order.
Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) has provided numerous examples of the biased, leftist propaganda promoted by PBS and NPR that American taxpayers are being forced to subsidize. From advocating for biological men to compete against women under the guise of transgenderism and covering up former Pres. Joe Biden's cognitive decline to smearing "young, white Americans" as racists, NPR and PBS have a documented history of bias and promotion of far-left propaganda, Kennedy demonstrates.
