Why are the American people funding a state-run propaganda machine? It’s bad enough when regime media uses their own money to spread lies, but it’s downright insulting when “we the people” are forced to bankroll our own brainwashing. This has been the argument of NPR critics for years, with countless pushes to defund the left-wing outlet, especially as they churn out fake news and progressive propaganda under the guise of “neutrality.”
It’s laughable.
But now, thanks to President Trump’s historic landslide victory and the creation of his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy (and Ron Paul)—we finally have a real shot at cutting NPR off from taxpayer funds. It’s time for them to stand on their own two liberal feet, without leaning on the wallets of hardworking Americans.
And this move comes at a damning moment for NPR, fresh off a scandal where they suspended a journalist for daring to call them out on their radical left-wing agenda. It’s clear—state-run media has no place in a free society. With DOGE’s investigation, there’s real hope that NPR will finally be forced to either fund their own fake news or start reporting real news that appeals to everyone. Either way, the days of taxpayers footing the bill for their propaganda machine may soon come to an end.
