We're allocating half a billion dollars annually, totaling $14.5 billion over time, to organizations like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, NPR, and NPS, essentially funding opinion journalism with taxpayer money. NPR, for instance, recently acquired a $200 million office space and pays its hosts and chief diversity officer exorbitant salaries using taxpayer funds.
Despite this financial support, their viewership is declining. Therefore, I've introduced legislation to defund these entities. With a staggering $36 trillion national debt, it's unacceptable for taxpayers to fund what I consider to be biased journalism, regardless of its political leaning. These entities have the right to exist, but not with taxpayer money.
