@newsweek: House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson said that #NPR and #PBS a, "misuse of taxpayer dollars." Johnson called the broadcasters "biased reporting," adding that they're "not objective." #news #newsweek #politics #congress
I don't remember anyone complaining about Big Bird or Elmo. I enjoyed watching with my kids. Why are you deciding where the money goes when the will of the people don't see it as waste. Freedom of speech. Not freedom for what you tell us we can and cannot watch or fund.

The money that goes to npr and pbs combined per taxpayer is roughly $1.25. We’re paying more for Johnson and others free healthcare…. They’re extremely wealthy. Why do they need free healthcare? BFFR!

Religious doctrine in classrooms is ok but not PBS? The founding fathers put separation of church and state in the constitution on purpose. But ignore that and go after educational content 🙄

Mike Johnson has totally forgotten the basic tenant of Christianity. Yet he boastfully calls himself a Christian. Mike mistakes his power as a blessing from God when it's a test. He is failing the test.

Yeah, they said the same shit back in the 80s during Reagan’s reign of terror luckily back then we still had Mr. Rogers to go and testify in front of Congress and help save PBS. I don’t see anything like that happening this time.

Speaker Johnson, you need to understand something: we the people see through you. We know what your agenda is. We know that you are stealing from us to give to yourself and your rich friends. We will remember you in 2026! Shame on you! Shame shame shame on you!
