House Votes To Defund NPR

CBS News reports that in "a largely party-line vote, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted Thursday afternoon to prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio and prohibit public radio stations from using federal funds to pay dues to NPR and other public radio distributors or purchase their programming. The vote was 228 to 192, with one member voting present. Every Democrat opposed the bill, along with seven Republicans. The bill voted on Thursday prohibits all federal funding from going to NPR (which distributes "All Things Considered" and other programs) as well as to distributors like Public Radio International (distributor of This American Life and other programs) and American Public Media (distributor of Marketplace and other programs)."

The taxpayers should never have been funding the liberal news outlet that pretends to be unbiased that is National Public Radio. This is a wonderful development for the taxpayers and for America. Let us hope the Senate shows the same common sense as those in the House.
