Recent criticism has emerged against National Public Radio (NPR), with multiple Republican representatives and conservative organizations calling for the defunding of the broadcaster. They argue that NPR, under the leadership of new CEO Katherine Maher, promotes a leftist agenda and should not be funded with taxpayer dollars. Representative Scott Perry has introduced the 'No Propaganda Act', while Representative Max Miller co-sponsored the 'Defund the NPR Act' to address these concerns. Critics also highlight Maher's previous donations to political entities like Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight PAC, suggesting a conflict of interest. They accuse Maher of bringing a leftist culture war agenda to every role, including her current position at the government-funded news outlet.
Our government shouldn't be in the business of funding news outlets, especially when that outlet has a CLEAR bias. Defund NPR. https://t.co/GhOQROgb3V

NPR's new CEO Katherine Maher has a long history of bringing a leftist culture war agenda to every role that she has held, and now she wants to do it with a government-funded news outlet. It's time to defund NPR. https://t.co/UCM5oyHn20 https://t.co/hTIwdmqd9d
Americans' tax dollars should not be used to fund partisan propaganda or political activism. That’s why I proudly co-sponsored @RepJimBanks's Defund the NPR Act! https://t.co/y0OEV1843B
NPR is a Left-wing propaganda machine funded by YOUR TAX DOLLARS. We need to stop funding the woke Corporation for Public Broadcasting - which is why I introduced the No Propaganda Act. https://t.co/Pa9bnsK1uL
SHOCK: State-Sponsored NPR CEO Karen, er, Katherine Maher is a donor to Stacey Abrams’ election-denying political action committee, Fair Fight. https://t.co/FtL5u7EaCH
