For example, PBS HONCHOS faces a tense barbecue by GOP MP for biased coverage, financing of taxpayers

The heads of the og and PBS were sitting on Wednesday for a high intensity barbecue on Capitol Hill while trying to defend their Liberal news funded by taxpayer from the wrath of the Republicans.

Executive Director, for example, -a Katherine Maher and PBS CEO of Paula Kerger testified on Wednesday in front of a pododbor Doge of the alleged biased content that their platforms put in Gop Crosshairs. President of the Doge Pododbor. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-g., Called Maher and Kerger to testify to what Greene called “their obvious ideological and partisan cover” and make them defend the federal financing they receive in Fire, Partizan.

Maher acknowledged that, for example, the covering of the infamous laptop of Hunter Biden regretted the remarks she gave about President Donald Trump before led by the socket and grilled at her organization, while Kerger’s PBS was accused of “one of the founders of the abuse of children.” ”

Both PBS and, for example, strongly criticized for political bias and for the progression of leftist ideologies such as gender ideology, such as a PBS film called “Real Boy”, who, according to PBS, follows a teenager who identifies a transgender person, while “embarks on adolescence, sobriety, and physical and emotional rambling of their changing gene identity.”

In her introductory words, Maher said, for example, plays a key role in “providing an impartial, non -partisan, reporting Americans based on facts.” She said, for example, the only “without paying” news with a journalist dedicated to covering veterans issues, and believes that local public journalism “was never more important for US families.”

At one point, she claimed that “she had never seen any case of a political bias that determined editorial decisions,” despised from conservatives online.

Maher said, for example, the editorial board should act with the highest standards and said that it was their responsibility to serve Americans throughout the political spectrum. She told Podododbor that, for example, last year he launched an initiative to improve the editing procedure to ensure that all content “is honest and comprehensive” and that new editors and analysts have been hired to ensure that different voices and problems be heard.

“I believe that the Americans voted for a transformative administration and it is our responsibility to take these transformation with integrity and perseverance,” said Maher.

Kerger used her introductory statement to insist that PBS is vital to Americans who rely on this for certain news, ranging from high school sports and local elections to specialized agricultural stories.

“There is nothing more than an American than PBS. It is a membership organization. Our local service is at the center of our work. Our job in PBS is to support our cells so that local cells can serve their communities. They are proud to fulfill their mission for almost 60 years, using public air waves and other technologies to help educate, hire and inform about American people.”

“PBS cells provide something that cannot be found on commercial networks. This is because PBS cells are aimed at the needs and interests of the viewers they serve,” Kerger continued. “Especially in rural areas, PBS cells are the only socket that provides coverage of local events.”

Democrats on the Dogebor Pododbor invited the characters from the Sesam and Muppets Street to attack the Republican efforts to reduce the funds for public broadcasting.

Ambassador Greg Casar, D-Texas, a member of the “team”, tried to record shooting on Trump and Doge boss Elon muskasking, “Is Miss Piggy ever caught trying to direct billions of dollars into state contracts for himself and her companies?”

Casar suggested that the Republicans use PBS and, for example, as a “sacrificial goat” to “try to distract from the fact that Trump and Musk robbing workers,” while Ambassador Robert Garcia, D-Calif, asked Kerger: “Has Elmo now or has ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States?”

Envoy Stephen Lynch, D-Mass, canceled the Committee on even holding hearing, accusing the pododobor of starting after “Bird Bird” and sarcastically saying that PBS had committed the “sin” to teach the alphabet to the children.

“If the shame was still a matter, this hearing would be shameful,” Lynch said.

Democrats invoke children’s shows in the bizarre defense of PBS, eg: ‘Fire Elon, Sava elmo’

Democratic points of conversation were in sharp opposition to the rhetoric of the Republicans.

Greene put in the center of attention of the former longtime editor of the URI Berliner, after writing a free printing bomb in 2024, which describes in detail the “absence of a variety of views”, criticizing his inclined coverage on significant topics such as the origin of Covid-19 and the 202 hunting camp. showed an amazing difference In the Washington editorial, eg -au, which was 87 Democrats and Zero Republicans.

Tail. Brandon Gill, R-Texas and Tim Burchett, R-TENN., Each pressed the Maher on the posts on the social networks she made before launched, for example, and an envoy James Comer, R-Ky, said he no longer “recognized” e.g.

“I feel like it’s propaganda. I feel like there are misinformations every time I listen, for example,” Comer said.

The role of hearing was high, given that Trump himself signaled a willingness to reject money for money at the outlets if they were given the opportunity.

Said the current employee eg -a Fox News Digital That the hearing failed to land any real body.

“Some members enjoy for example -in … I thought they had achieved some hits, almost everything about Maher in person,” an employee told the Fox News Digital, for example, noting that the members of the pododbor were leaving as “pretty reasonable people” except for personal attacks on Maher.

“For example, people who hate, for example, will have an abundance of reasons, for example,” the employee said. “But they could discover it before today. I don’t think it moves the needle; I think this was a hole they were supposed to break through.”

Michael Gonzalez The Heritage Foundation, a critic of public media, also testified about the “unforgettable political bias”, which he believes comes from PBS and the EM, while the executive director of the Alaska public media was witnessed by Pro-Java media.

“We are important,” Ulman said.

Many personal attacks appeared when Greene blown Maher because of his previous job over Wikipedia’s supervision, saying that it was a “platform that does not tell the truth.” Greene then read the personal statements that Maher had previously made on social media so that he could “publicly understand” his views.

Greene noted that Maher called Trump “belittled, racist sociopath,” he said that America was “dependent on the white superior” – which Greene called “awful” – and They found concepts “Boy and Girl” to be “wiping a language” for non-linen people.

“The federal funding that your exit gets comes from all US dollars of taxpayers. Not only from your viewers who support such statements as these. Let me inform you that your funding is also paid by the other half of the country. 77 million Americans voting for Prime Minum.

Maher was criticized by Conservatives in 2024 when she took over, for example, and her old posts on social media that expressed progressive glances were discovered. But Greene said that many consider Maher’s “Pro-Censure and Anti-Little Speech Speech More than her politics.

“It seems that the only speech you like is the speech you agree with,” Greene said.

“In 2021 you called the first amendment challenge number 1 in US journalism because it is difficult to break bad information,” Greene said, adding, “What do you think should be charged with cracking for so -called bad information? Is that for example? Is that a government?”

Maher then tried to thank Greene for the opportunity to speak, but she was quickly cut off.

“Is it up to you and, for example, to break bad information or decide the truth? Answer the question,” Greene said.

Maher replied, “absolutely no. I am a very strong believer in freedom of speech.”

Later Maher admitted that he had missed the brand in the absence of serious coverage, for example Hunter Biden The story of a laptop during the 2020 election. At that time, the representatives, for example, publicly called the story unusual and distraction.

The Laptop, which illuminated the overseas business practice of Hunter Biden, was possible for his father’s involvement and contained shocking videos and photographs of drug use and casual works, eventually confirmed that they were authentic.

“I want to say, for example, he admits that we have made a mistake that we are not able to cover the story of a laptop, Hunter Biden more aggressively before,” said Maher Zap. Michael Cloud, R-Texas.

Later, she reiterated “we made a mistake” that we did not cover the laptop in a separate exchange with the Reverend Brian Jack, R-g. The Maher was appointed executive director of the 2024, so that she was not with a socket supported by taxpayers at the time when the story was first broken.

The employee, for example,, who spoke about the state of anonymity, was fascinated when he heard that Maher admitted that he needed to do things more aggressively, for example, what was related to the laptop.

“They hit me,” they said.

For example, staff for the Fox News Digital said that a group that is internally called “The Backstop” has been added to help, for example, a editorial review.

Envoy William Timmons, Rs.c., Maher said he was “radical progressive”, wondering if her past liberal views appeared in their job interview for the position of executive director. She said no.

“I believe we have to have journalists who represent the full width of American society so we can report all the Americans well,” she said.

The hearing came after Trump said on Tuesday that he would be “honored” by Defund, for example, saying, “It was very biased. The whole group, I mean, the whole group of them.”

Greene echoed that term during her final remarks.

“We believe you can hate us for your own period,” Greene said to conclude a hearing.
