Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls NPR 'Democrat Propaganda,' Threatens To Slash Its Funding

The network of public radio stations was accused of having a liberal bias by a former editor earlier this year.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) railed against National Public Radio while addressing her new role as overseer for the “Department of Government Efficiency” during an interview on Fox News this weekend.

The far-right rabble-rouser laid out part of her plan to slash government spending while appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures,” where she told host Maria Bartiromo how she believes “every single government department” is ripe with waste.

Promising to take a “deep dive” into government excess, Greene put NPR at the top of her list of what she thinks should be on the chopping block, saying, “We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda.”

Greene’s Republican colleagues first floated the idea of stripping NPR of federal funding after Uri Berliner, a former editor, published an essay accusing the public broadcasting organization of having an “absence of viewpoint diversity” and a strong liberal bias.

During a hearing led by the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s oversight subcommittee in May, Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) called NPR a “progressive propaganda purveyor” that should be forced to pay for its operations on its “own dime.”
