Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) praised federal funding cuts to public broadcasting entities like NPR and PBS, saying, “Farmers are not gonna miss this.”
In a Friday appearance on Laura Ingraham‘s The Ingraham Angle, Tuberville claimed that 90% of NPR content was left-leaning.
“There was very little right. Anything positive about the right was never on,” Tuberville said. “We were about 30 years too late. This should have been gone a long time ago. People can get their news and weather. Farmers are not gonna miss this. It’s been a disaster. It is a left-wing propaganda network. It is gone, and thank God.”
His statements come as House Republicans voted late Thursday night to strip more than $9 billion in funding from foreign aid and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which finances more than 1,500 PBS, NPR, and local radio and television stations across the United States.
