Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable.
At 9am CT today, the leaders of NPR and PBS will testify before Congress in a hearing titled “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable.” We expect public media’s funding to be called into question as they answer to the subcommittee’s claims of “biased news coverage… for an increasingly narrow and elitist audience.” This moment is a stark reminder that independent journalism cannot be taken for granted.
