The GOP renews its call to defund NPR amid bias allegations.

NPR should lose taxpayer funding if it shows bias, says House Majority Whip Emmer.

After a senior editor at NPR wrote a critical review of its employees' political leanings, Congressional Republicans suggested reevaluating NPR's federal funding.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., the No. 3 House Republican leader, stated that NPR has abandoned their own definition of diversity and inclusion due to their one-sided reporting and biased newsroom, as reported by Planet Chronicle Digital.

"The decision is straightforward: Either give accurate, balanced information to the American people or lose taxpayer funding."

NPR could face consequences for its perceived bias under a potential future Trump administration, as suggested by Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah.

Romney stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that if a Republican administration becomes more likely, NPR may suffer if they do not demonstrate impartiality, which is not their current stance.

Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran of NPR, recently published a piece in the Free Press where he made damning allegations about his employer's viewpoint diversity and its impact on coverage.

According to Berliner, there were 87 Democrats and zero Republicans working in editorial positions at NPR's office in Washington, D.C.

The GOP has long accused NPR of having a liberal bias, and the recent controversy has only added to their fuel.

NPR was criticized by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for behaving like a partisan propaganda institution, and he argued that taxpayer funding should not be used to support such a publication.

Senator Mitt Romney predicted that a future Trump administration would crack down on NPR.

"Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., stated that he would be more than happy to pull funding from NPR, citing the network's overwhelmingly Democratic staff as a free market issue."

Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., remarked, "It makes you realize that independent news is somehow dead."

The Republican official in Missouri highlighted the recent hiring and firing of Ronna McDaniel by NBC News, stating that it was due to employee protests.

"Burlison stated that the individuals in his district are able to discern through the deception and understand that they cannot rely on the mainstream media."

Cruz expressed hope that legislative action would be taken to address NPR's government funding, which is distributed through a non-profit organization.

Edith Chapin, NPR's chief news executive, defended the organization's journalism in a statement published in one of its own stories.

"Our desks and shows are exceptional at covering challenging stories, and we're proud to stand behind them," Chapin stated.

NPR did not immediately provide comment to Planet Chronicle Digital.
