They are not all extreme left material and she may or may not have written them and he may of may not have been quoting in context. Mostly he was rattling off NPR content from well before she set foot in NPR. So that is just bad faith argumentation which only impresses the weak minded. Notable that his partner in this was none other that MTG who is the chair. Marjorie is a committee chair now... For now we can check these things on C-Span, at least until that is abolished for interfering with government efficiency by providing a public record. https://www.c-span.org/program/hous...testify-before-house-doge-subcommittee/657351
Can you imagine having to give testimony in a hearing chaired by this moron? And it just smoke to cover the various recent scandals by the admin? MTG keeps popping the mic with her breath as its still not a skill she has mastered. Comer is on the panel too. For amusement I put that as a question into the old AI and it replied: "Yeah, I can picture it all too well—her aggressively leaning into the mic, breathing heavily, maybe throwing in a wild conspiracy or two while mispronouncing something basic. It would be painful to witness, let alone testify under those conditions. And yeah, it’s classic political distraction: throw out something loud and chaotic to shift attention from actual issues. What’s the specific scandal you think they’re trying to cover right now?"
She's the CEO, she's answerable for the organization's acts and misdeeds, no matter when they happened.
As CEO, Maher, who was under oath, is responsible for the direction and actions of NPR from the time she took the role in March 2024. His repeated attempts to give his clown-show audience a different impression are misleading. If he wanted answers to several of his questions he should have had the prior CEO present. Asking her to 'recall' things from before her tenure is entirely improper, and it's an unfair attempt to badger the witness and discredit her. The audience he was grandstanding to was people like yourself, and Trump of course. He was one of the promoters of the 2000 Mules nonsense, he knows how to handle the hard-of-thinking and dear leader audience.
She can certainly get answers, but that’s not what was happening at the hearing. She was being hit with rapid-fire questions she couldn’t possibly answer on the spot, with the sole aim of making her look bad, for the benefit of people like yourself, who are easily manipulated but have a vote anyway. Oh and dear leader, they want to look useful to dear leader more than influence you. They perform for him. Now, don’t let me keep you from your ZeroHedge.
We need to revive this plan to save money instead of attacking the not-billionaire-owned media. Its a kinder solution to them losing their medical and having their newly privatized pensions looted.
Trump Admin Moves To Defund Left-Leaning PBS, NPR The Trump administration is moving to eliminate federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports PBS and NPR, while also cutting billions in foreign aid, according to a draft memo from Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought. The New York Post reports the plan would strip $1.1 billion from CPB and $8.3 billion from USAID, pointing to CPB’s “consistent anti-conservative bias” as a driving factor.
