‘MONSTERS!’ Trump goes all caps in fierce attack on NPR and PBS
President Donald Trump is ferociously attacking National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System, using all capital letters online to call them “radical left monsters.”
“REPUBLICANS MUST DEFUND AND TOTALLY DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM NPR & PBS, THE RADICAL LEFT ‘MONSTERS’ THAT SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!” Trump figuratively shouted Tuesday on Truth Social.
This is not the first time Trump has addressed the issue of the publicly funded networks which hold a left-leaning political bias.
During a March 25 Cabinet meeting, the president was asked outright if he’d like to see public broadcasting as a whole defunded.
“I would love to do that. I think it’s very unfair, it’s been very biased, the whole group of them,” Trump said.
“There’s plenty of coverage. That was from a different age and they spend more money than any other network of its type ever conceived. So the kind of money that’s being wasted, and it’s a very biased view. … And I’d be honored to see it end.”

In a March 27 post on Truth Social, Trump said both “NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms (Networks!) , should be DEFUNDED by Congress IMMEDIATELY.”
Trump’s call came in the wake of NPR CEO Katherine Maher’s embarrassing testimony before Congress as she tried to distance herself from radical notions she promoted, including that America was addicted to white supremacy.

This follows Wednesday’s hearing where NPR CEO Katherine Maher was humiliated when @RepBrandonGill used Maher’s own social posts against her to expose how ridiculously partisan she and NPR are.

“I believe that I tweeted that, and as I said earlier, I believe that much of my thinking has evolved over the last half-decade,” Maher told U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas.
The congressman also posted a video from the Media Research Center of some of the most hateful comments NPR and PBS have broadcast over the years.
PBS is funded by taxpayers and spews some of the most vitriolic hate imaginable.
Here are some of their “greatest hits” over the years.
Today, in the @DOGECommittee hearing, they’ll have to answer for it.

In the wake of the DOGE subcommittee hearing yesterday, Trump calls for the defunding of NPR and PBS, “IMMEDIATELY.”
NPR Chief Katherine Maher is a woke radical and both orgs are leftwing propaganda mills.
Not a penny more of our tax dollars should be spent supporting them. pic.twitter.com/KTmqoKbpeg
