The liberal rag known as NPR is on the verge of losing federal funding after the Senate passed a rescission bill targeting wasteful spending.

In light of this development, it is important to remember just how bad this so-called news outlet has been while receiving taxpayer dollars.

Users on X have gathered many examples:

I’m not sure people realize just how egregious some of NPR’s “journalism” has been. Amid the debate about defunding the network, I wanted to walk down memory lane to revisit some of its worst coverage.

There’s a lot.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

The Republican-controlled Senate narrowly approved a sweeping Trump-endorsed rescission bill that slashes nearly $9 billion in previously approved federal spending—including full defunding of PBS and NPR and deep cuts to U.S. foreign aid—by a razor-thin 51–48 vote during a late-night vote.

The measure advanced through a late-night vote-a-rama.

Only two GOP senators—Susan Collins (R‑ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R‑AK)—sided with Democrats to try to block Trump’s efforts to restore fiscal sanity.

Because the Senate made minor changes to the bill, it now heads back to the House for final approval, where Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to fast-track the vote.

President Trump is poised to sign the bill into law by Friday, delivering yet another blow to the radical globalist agenda that has drained American taxpayer dollars for far too long.

After years of promoting transgenderism for children, lying about Covid, and misrepresenting conservatives, I hope NPR doesn’t miss that funding too much, because I won’t miss sending it to them.

Woman’s basketball star Caitlin Clark is too injured to play in the 2025 All-Star game in Indy. 

Caitlin Clark won the most votes in the WNBA for the All-Star game but it doesn’t matter.  Clark is too injured to compete.

Clark shared a message earlier today with the announcement.

After two years of getting hammered on the court, Clark will not be able to play this weekend.

Can you guys remember a star male athlete getting treated this badly by the league as a whole? Not one team, basically every team. This is year two now of this for Caitlin Clark. Not rookie hazing. So many cheap shots: pic.twitter.com/RhnuStkbzY

The WNBA is happy with athletes in the league absolutely crushing Caitlin on the court. They don’t realize that Clark brought millions to the game. They will this weekend.

When Clark is out, the viewership in the entire league is half of what it is when she is in.

The WNBA will destroy Clark and keep their welfare league rather than experience the benefits of having Clark in the league.

Some are calling for Caitlin Clark to start a new league.

Caitlin Clark should leave the WNBA and start her own league. Give other top players small equity stakes. The players could own the league in conjunction with media partners. It’s a no brainer, honestly. She’s worth more than entire WNBA: pic.twitter.com/CexKTlyWkM

“The WNBA needs Caitlin Clark more than Caitlin Clark needs the league.”

Clark should leave and take Sophie Cunningham with her.

A federal judge on Thursday rehired the Democrat FTC Commissioner who was fired by President Trump earlier this year.

US District Judge Loren AliKhan, a Biden appointee, said President Trump’s firing of Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the Democrat FTC Commissioner was illegal.

The Trump Administration will promptly appeal this order.

Politico reported:

A federal judge has restored commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter to her role at the Federal Trade Commission, ruling that President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire the Democratic appointee in March was illegal.

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan issued the order on Thursday, saying that the Trump administration’s firings violated the FTC Act and protections under a 1935 Supreme Court precedent that prevented a president from unilaterally firing officials at independent agencies.

“Because those protections remain constitutional, as they have for almost a century, Ms. Slaughter’s purported removal was unlawful and without legal effect,” AliKhan wrote in her opinion.

In March President Trump fired both Democrat commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

And they both sued to get their jobs back.

“President Donald Trump fired two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies,” NBC News reported in March.

“A White House official confirmed the firings of Democratic Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter after they were first reported by Reuters, but had no additional comment,” the outlet reported.

“President Donald J. Trump is the head of the executive branch and is vested with all of the executive power in our government. I have no doubts about his constitutional authority to remove Commissioners, which is necessary to ensure democratic accountability for our government. The Federal Trade Commission will continue its tireless work to protect consumers, lower prices, and police anticompetitive behavior,” Andrew Ferguson, Chairman of the FTC said in a statement.

“I wish Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya well, and I thank them for their service,” he added.

On Thursday, Chairman of the Board of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bill Pulte, said Fed Chair Jerome Powell may be criminally referred to the Justice Department for alleged perjury about the $2.5 billion building renovation plan.

“I am told by very reliable Congressional sources that there may be a criminal referral coming from one or more Congress members to the DOJ for Jay Powell’s alleged perjury about the $2.5BN building,” Pulte said on X.

Powell is under fire for the cost of renovating the Fed’s DC headquarters. The cost ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion.

“Powell has asked the central bank’s inspector general to conduct an additional review of the ongoing renovation, CNN previously reported. Last month, some Senate lawmakers grilled Powell over what they depicted as lavish upgrades to its DC headquarters at Powell’s semiannual monetary policy hearing,’ CNN reported.

“The Fed’s renovation project was approved by its board in 2017 and originally cost $1.9 billion in 2019. Construction began in 2021, but the cost swelled to $2.5 billion because of “unforeseen conditions” requiring more spending to rectify, such as “more asbestos than anticipated, toxic contamination in soil, and a higher-than-expected water table,” according to the Fed’s website,” CNN reported.

President Trump earlier this week said Jerome Powell’s renovation scandal may be enough to fire him as the Fed Chair.

“I can’t imagine why the Fed would need a palace,” Trump said.
