PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger on CNN this morning: “People often struggle to come up with examples” of left-wing bias at PBS.

Actually, it’s not a struggle at all.

Here are just a few of PBS’s biggest whiffs:

🧵 (1/5)
(2/5) In Louisiana, a PBS video claimed that pre-schoolers “may have racial bias.”

PBS affiliates also advocated for males in women’s sports to have “support in their push for athletic access.”

They have the right to say this stuff—but not with your money.
(3/5) Even worse, PBS pushed so-called “gender-affirming care for youth” and released woke “anti-racist” talking points for “[t]alking to young children about race and racism.”

Should taxpayers really be funding PBS’s hot takes on “the hidden racism of young white Americans”?
(4/5) PBS also thought it was a good idea to cover “a blueprint for the case against Trump” and claim that Gov. Sarah Palin “ushered in the ‘post-truth’ political era in which Trump has thrived.”

Give me a break.
(5/5) Thanks to President Trump’s rescission package, taxpayers may finally be able to get out of the business of deeply weird, left-wing media.

That’s a good thing.

NPR’s CEO Katherine Maher on CNN this morning: “As far as the accusations that we’re biased, I’d stand up and say, ‘Please show me a story that concerns you.’”

I’ve got a few:

🧵 (1/5)
(2/5) NPR reported that country music and birds are racist, told American people to stop eating beef, and promoted the Russia-gate conspiracy.

No person with a brain above a single-celled organism would call these articles fair and balanced.
(3/5) NPR claimed President Biden’s presidential debate performance didn’t change the election, days before he dropped out of the race.

If you believe that headline, you believe in the tooth fairy. But that’s what NPR reported with your tax dollars.

🧵 (1/11) The Senate only has a few more days to approve President Trump’s rescission request to cut funding to wasteful foreign aid projects and public broadcasting.

We should pounce on this opportunity like a ninja.

(2/11) President Trump entered the Oval Office on a mission to reduce waste in the federal budget—what I call “spending porn.” He’s made a great start through the early work of DOGE.

Some of the spending that the Biden administration approved will take your breath away.
(3/11) Under President Biden, our federal government agreed to spend $3M on an Iraqi version of “Sesame Street,” $500K on electric buses in Rwanda, and $67K to feed insect powder to children in Madagascar.

You read that right. Insect powder.

🧵 (1/8) The federal government has no business funding media companies.

It’s time to stop picking winners and losers and defund public broadcasting for good.

Read my latest:

(2/8) In 2025 alone, Congress will send the Corporation for Public Broadcasting $535M.

The CPB is a government-backed nonprofit that issues taxpayer-funded grants to NPR, PBS, and their affiliates.

By 2027, the CPB expects the federal government to send it nearly $600M.
(3/8) One would think that receiving billions of dollars from taxpayers would motivate NPR and PBS to publish fair reporting that the American people can use.

Instead, these organizations are using taxpayer money to advance their own political agendas.

🧵 (1/13) Some medical schools place DEI above all else, even if it means worse outcomes for patients.

This obsession with racial quotas is destroying some of America’s best medical schools.

Read my latest with @RepGregMurphy in @dcexaminer:

(2/13) According to whistleblowers, UCLA’s top admissions officer turned away talented applicants because of their skin color.

She reportedly rejected one student because UCLA had “too many of his kind.”

freebeacon.com/campus/a-faile…
(3/13) Since adopting an “anti-racism roadmap” in 2020, UCLA's medical school ranking has plummeted.

More than half of the students failed their standardized exams on emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics—a failure rate 10X the national average.

🧵 (1/10) Recently, SCOTUS was asked to decide whether district court judges can unilaterally stop the govt from enforcing a law or policy nationwide.

The court should jump at the chance to end universal injunctions.

Read my latest @FoxNewsOpinion:

foxnews.com/opinion/sen-jo…
(2/10) Normally, a court’s injunction only applies to the plaintiff in the case.

But in the 1960s, judges began blocking the government from enforcing the policy against anyone, anywhere—not just addressing one plaintiff's concerns.
(3/10) The universal injunction gives individual judges extraordinary power.

Don’t like a law passed by Congress? Gone.

Don’t like one of the president’s policies? Sayonara.

🧵(1/12) PM Starmer agreed to welcome Pres. Trump to the Chagos Island negotiating table, and that is great news.

Friends don’t strike deals behind each other’s backs, especially when our shared security is on the line.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/2…
(2/12) PM Starmer and the Biden admin first wanted the UK to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands, including our shared military base on Diego Garcia, to Mauritius before Pres. Trump took office.

They wanted us to pay $112M/year to rent our own base. Stupid should hurt more.
(3/12) Diego Garcia is a key military asset. British and American forces share the base to protect our interests around the world. The island is one of the only places where we can reload submarines.

That makes it a top target of Chinese spies.
