House Freedom Caucus chair calls for end to taxpayer-funded media after NPR scandal ends with editor's exit
Fox News
House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good is calling for taxpayer funds to stop going toward NPR and any media outlet.
"The government shouldn't be in the business of funding media, and it certainly shouldn't be funding media that has a clear bias," Good told Fox News Digital in his first interview on the legislation. "NPR has had a clear left-wing bias for decades, and it's just growing by the day. And there's no reason for taxpayers to have to fund this."

The Virginia Republican said that if the case were reversed – a partially federally funded outlet being accused of a rightward slant – the public outrage would be compounded.
