Republican accused NPR, PBS of bias at the DPR session; Democrats reprimand him as a partisan attack

The Republican accuses the NPR and PBS public media outlets of the Bias in the DPR Sub -Committee Session on Wednesday, while the Democrats defended the organization and criticized the event as a disruption from the ongoing controversy regarding the use of Trump administrative signal messages applications for sensitive information communication.

During the trial, the Republican party called for the end of the media funded by taxpayers when they accused the news outlet of promoting “Ideology of Bangun” for younger audience when Democrats tried to have fun in the trial by asking the witnesses about the ins and outs of Elmo and Cookies Monster when they accused Republic of Wasting.

PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger and President and CEO of NPR Katherine Maher denied the accusation of bias, said that outlets comply with journalistic standards and serve various audiences that include rural viewers.

“I hear, respect and understand your concern about bias and whether public media is relevant in commercial landscapes,” Maher said. “It is very important for the NPR news room to operate with the highest journalistic standards. That means they do their work independently, and as CEO I have no editorial role in NPR.”

A few minutes later, Kerger added: “PBS Station is focused on the needs and interests of the viewers they serve. Especially in rural areas, PBS Station is a only outlet that provides coverage for local events, for example high school sports, local history and cultural content, candidate debates at every level of voting and special agrani news.”

The trial, entitled “Anti-American Air Waves: Holding the Head of NPR and PBS Accountable,” held by the Delivery of the Government Efficiency Subcommittee (DOGE), a name that echoed the Department of Government Efficiency, the initiative to cut the Trump administrative fee that was monitored by Elon Musk.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GGA., Criticizing NPR and PBS during the trial for what she called liberal bias, referring to federal funding for outlets as a target of potential cutting.

“NPR and PBS are increasingly becoming radical left wing echoes for narrow audiences mostly rich people, white, urban skin and progressive,” Greene said.

Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., Defending public media outlets and criticizing the trial as a disturbance for more important problems that are often taken by the DPR’s Supervision Committee, a larger body that belongs to the Doge subcommittee.

“I am sad to see this proud committee – the principle investigation committee in the House of Representatives – has now bowed to the lowest level of partiality and theater to hold a trial to pursue people like Elmo and Monster Cookies and Arthur The Aardvark,” Lynch said.

Then in the trial, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Said cynically: “Is Elmo now, or has he ever, a member of the Communist Party?”

Another member of the Democratic Parliament, Rep. Gregorio Casar, from Texas, said: “Leave Elmo alone, bring Elon to be asked,” referring to the billionaire Elon Musk, who is the public face of the Department of Efficiency of the Trump Administration Government.

Representative of James Comer, R-KY., The previous NPR scope was criticized previously about the origin of Covid-19 and the house investigation of the Biden family, led by comer.

“I think you have misused the privilege you have by receiving federal funds,” said comer, sitting in front of a plaque that displays NPR’s headlines which he thinks he takes problems.

In response, Maher, from NPR, said: “I want to recognize your concern,” note that he takes steps to “improve our editorial standards” after taking his position last year.

“Why did NPR even do editorials?” Comer responds, annoyed, and seems confused about what the meaning of “editorial standard”. “Do you even need opinions – if you are an entity funded by a federal government that should provide news?”

“I mean, the editorial standard for our journalism … brings more editors to ensure that we have more perspectives that are reflected in each story. I have been involved in a number of actions,” he said, before the comer cut it.

“I lost confidence in public radio,” he said.

While media leaders maintain their editorial standards, Maher admitted that the handling of the station for the story of Hunter Biden laptop was “mistake.”

“I want to say that NPR recognizes that we are mistaken and failed to cover the story of Hunter Biden laptops more aggressive and faster,” said Maher.
