House Freedom Caucus Chair Introduces Defund NPR Act

Democratic congressional candidate for New York's 3rd congressional district, Tom Suozzi campaigns in Westbury, New York

House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good, R-Va., has introduced the Defund NPR Act, calling for an end to taxpayer-funded media. Good's bill aims to block federal funding from going directly to NPR and prevent public radio stations receiving federal grants from using taxpayer funds to purchase content from or pay dues to NPR.

Good argues that the government should not be funding media with a clear bias, citing NPR's left-wing bias as a longstanding issue. He highlights the importance of a free and open press protected by the First Amendment but asserts that taxpayers should not be forced to fund biased media.
