For Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and other House Republicans, today’s DOGE subcommittee hearing is about tarnishing PBS and NPR with accusations of bias and targeting them for defunding. For the broadcasters, today is about defending their existence – and maybe, just maybe, educating people about how public media actually works. What will win the day? National political noise or local media impact? The hearing, titled “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable,” starts at 10 a.m. ET. NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger will both be testifying. So will a local station operator and a conservative critic of taxpayer-funded media. The hearing is meant to advance long-held Republican arguments against PBS and NPR. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the networks are a “waste of money” and claimed “he would love to” defund them. And yet the funding bill passed by Congress and signed into law by Trump earlier this month included $535 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that disburses funds to 1,500 local radio and TV stations.
