“Well, I’d love to do it,” Trump said in response to a journalist who asked him about Doge Pododobor Hearing called “Anti-American air waves: Holding the heads of the eg and PBS responsible,” where leaders will testify, for example, PBS.

Katherine Maher, Executive Director and President, for example, (National Public Radio), and Paula Kerger, Executive Director and President of the PBS (Public Radio Dodiphis Service), plan to testify to why “demonstrated news that produces all the rope and elitist audiences should continue to finance from broad taxes.
Maher and Kerger are expected to distract and justify their newspaper organizations and why they deserve to receive public funding. Less than 1% financing, for example, comes directly from the Federal Government, although other funds are indirectly coming from grants and dollars allocated to local cells to members who return fees, for example.
Pbs Allegedly receives 16 percent of its government financing. His website states that he partly receives funds from a public broadcast corporation (CPB), which receives about $ 500 million a year that Congress has approved, saying that “CPB assigns the appropriation mainly to public television and radio stations, with some assigned for example -Ui PBS to support national programming.”

“They spend more money than any other network of her type ever imagined, so it’s the money she is spent, and it’s very biased, you know it’s better than anyone,” Trump said. “And I would be honored to see him. We are well covered. Look at all the people we have here today. We are well covered, and we don’t need it, and especially the loss of money. Doge’s recommendation is. I guess their recommendation is to close them. ”

“I want to hear why, for example, PBS think you should ever get one cen from an American taxpayer,” Greene said.
“These partisan, so-called” media “stations dropped the ball on the laptop of Hunter Biden, the origin of the covid-19, and failed to properly report the Russian fraud in agreement,” she added. “Now is the time for their executive directors to publicly explain this biased cover. Federal taxpayers should not be forced to pay unilateral reporting, which attacks over half of the country to protect and promote their own political interests. I look forward to cooperating with Trump’s administration to stop abusing the end tax on.”
