PRESS ALERT: 
Behind-the-Scenes -- the March 26, 2025

House DOGE Subcommittee Hearing on NPR & PBS Bias


Why are the NPR and PBS presidents the only witnesses scheduled to testify at the March 26th DOGE Subcommittee hearing on NPR and PBS bias?  What about the NPR and PBS public editors, each responsible for complaints, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Inspector General, also responsible for complaints. And what about complainants who have filed complaints with all of them?   

 The importance of this was the subject of my February 18th letter to DOGE Subcommittee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene and FCC Chair Brendan Carr entitled “Defunding NPR, PBS – & Firing the CPB’s Inspector General, for starters”.  It opened with these two sentences:  

“I am director and co-founder of the New York-based non-partisan, non-profit citizens’ organization Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc. (CJA) and applaud your efforts to expose the truth about NPR and PBS.fn1  I suggest you do so by examining how they handle complaints of biased and knowingly false journalism – and that you also examine how the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Inspector General handles complaints about NPR’s and PBS’ handling of complaints.” (italics in the original).

Nine EVIDENCE-FILLED pages later– including as to the collusion of NPR, PBS, and other media in the corruption of New York state governance involving its massive, policy-filled state budget, pay raises, NY Attorney General Letitia James, and NY District Attorney Alvin Bragg – the letter concluded, stating:

“I am available to answer questions – including under oath.  I would be honored to testify at such hearings as you will be holding.  In any event, I ask that this statement be submitted for the record of the hearings.  I affirm it all to be true, under penalties of perjury.

Kindly forward the letter to all who are committed to establishing the truth about NPR, PBS, and their collusion with other media in ‘election interference’ and other violations of First Amendment responsibilities.  There is much defunding, firing, and prosecutions that need to take place.fn8

Three times I emailed the letter to the majority office of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and to FCC Chair Carr -- February 18th, February 28th, and March 21st, without response.  Was it forwarded to DOGE Subcommittee Chair Greene and to all the Subcommittee members?  Who else?  Was it forwarded to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, as requested?   How about to the NPR and PBS presidents and public editors and to the CPB Inspector General, for their written responses.   Will it be part of the record, as requested?   Will it be the subject of questioning, at all, at tomorrow's hearing?  

I am available to answer your questions, no matter how early or late.   Please call.

Thank you.
