Rep. Dale Strong introduces legislation to cut off federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR), citing its alleged liberal bias. The bill, dubbed the No More Funding for NPR Act of 2025, aims to halt direct and indirect federal funding for NPR and any successor organizations. Strong argues that taxpayer dollars shouldn't be used to support what he perceives as liberal propaganda. This proposal follows years of threats to defund public media from conservatives, who accuse NPR and PBS of having a liberal slant. While past administrations largely maintained funding, the current political climate, fueled by former President Trump's vocal criticism of NPR, raises concerns about the bill's potential impact.
