Since Uncle Sam tightens his belt, audits and overhaul of the Federal Department and Pink slips, organizations that fear that they will lose the funding/support of the federal government next, on the Capitol Hill and/or hope of convincing the legislators in their name.
Among them is PBS, which has long been the goal of the Republican anger and the attempts to move away due to the obvious way of programming, which should be neutral, but mostly acts as a mouthpiece for democratic agenda and topics.
With President Trump, NPR, Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), pushed together with Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) to remove PBS and her comrades in Arms introduce The “Defund Government Sponsored Propaganda Act” in February would be a legislative template that would say that it would prohibit federal finance for the National Public Radio (NPR) and the public broadcasting service (PBS) on the basis of their party -political preservation.

Against this background, we contact Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), a first time congressor who works in the committee for the supervisory and reform of the House of Representatives and who is a convinced supporter of the measures taken by the Department of the Government (Doge) measures.
Gill went to wisdom with the CNN anchor Paula Brown in early February to continue to finance things like PBS. inform The United States “spent over 500 million US dollars every year to finance state-funded media such as NPR and PBS to promote the left values ​​that are completely opposite to American experience”.
Many will be surprised how he feels about the financing of the PBS and NPR, and will be surprised that representatives of PBS were actually met with Rep. Gill this week in order to discuss the financing concerns and to change his opinion.
To say it … If not going well, an understatement would be:
PBS @Newshour came to my office today and today begged for more tax money.
They gave me a mug that was referred to as “made in Texas” … but it was actually made in China.
Just like your programming, everything is a facade. We are finished with the financing of the left propaganda. pic.twitter.com/rorbx9wgr3

Gills Tweet initiated the following reaction by Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC):

As Redstate readers, Carr opened an examination for both PBS and NPR at the end of January For reasons Both partly publicly financed “news” networks could violate the federal law by broadcasting commercials. ” He continued in the letter he wrote to her, and at the time pointed out how his opinion was that they should have been determined a long time ago:
“For my part, I see no reason why the congress should continue to send dollars to NPR and PBS in view of the changes to the media market since the 1967 public broadcasting law was passed.”
To mention unnecessarily if PBS believed that their visit with Gill and (probably) other Republican members of the congress would change their hearts and spirit, they are unfortunately wrong.
