I'd worry about that a lot more than I would someone running a partially govt funded media source. If it were Congress job to vet someone for that position, it might be different. Completely different hearing. 3 minutes ago, daz28 said: Otherwise, maybe they should wait until she is actually accused of something. Can't wait to do that though, because they might lose their right to run the carnival in 6 months. SHE is not accused of anything, NPR is. She is the head of NPR. This is pretty basic stuff. .

I'll go back to that fact she's only been there 2 months. My point is which of their complaints was she at the helm for? Probably none. Let me inform you of some facts. NPR gets 8% of their funding from CPB(government non-profit). The CPB supports over 1500 media outlets nationwide, mostly local. You can be assured that almost every single one has a bias based on their location. What's going on at NPR is no different than any of those stations. They're simply larger. This is just some crap Elon stirred up. Nothing 'new' is happening at NPR or anywhere else. 1

BillsFanNC Posted Wednesday at 09:40 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:40 PM Fair and balanced! REP FALLON: "In 2020, NPR branded Hunter Biden's laptop story a 'waste of time.' Do you know how many times NPR interviewed Adam Schiff about the Russia Collusion hoax?" NPR CEO: "Idk." REP FALLON: "25 times. How many times did NPR interview Chairman Comer about the Biden impeachment inquiry and the Biden family's illicit business dealings?" NPR CEO: "Idk." REP FALLON: "0 times. 25 to 0. Between June and November of 2023, PBS's News Hour used the term 'far-right' 162 times, and 'far-left' was only used 6 times. Do you find that troubling?" PBS CEO: "I want to see how they did that analysis." REP FALLON: "Media Research Center did the study. You either use the term 'far-right' or 'far-left.' That's a 96% to 4% skew. Did PBS cover the DNC and GOP conventions in 2024?" PBS CEO: "Yes, we did." REP FALLON: "72% of the coverage of the GOP convention was negative. 88% of the coverage of the DNC was positive. PBS's anchor described the Republican convention as 'outright racism' and 'echoing white supremacy.' Do you believe your reporters are non-biased at NPR?" NPR CEO: "I believe they work to be every day." REP FALLON: "The recent registration of your newsroom was 87 Democrats and 0 Republicans." NPR CEO: "I find that very concerning, sir." REP FALLON: "It shouldn't be surprising when their CEO says 'I'm so done with late-stage capitalism' or calls the POTUS a 'deranged racist sociopath' or says that 'America is addicted to white supremacy.'" REP FALLON: "Billions of taxpayer dollars have gone into both of your coffers over the last few decades, and I understand why Democrats are going to viciously and vehemently defend you all because you've become a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party."
