In a recent appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Greene outlined her plans for the subcommittee, which will tackle everything from wasteful spending on government-funded media outlets to mismanagement in federal agencies like the Pentagon. The congresswoman emphasized that the focus of the committee would be purely results-oriented, with little regard for political correctness or public relations concerns.
“We’re going to be searching for the facts and verifying whether these programs are worth spending the American people’s hard-earned tax dollars on,” Greene said. “And we don’t care about people’s feelings.”
The subcommittee Greene is chairing will focus on a wide array of government programs, with a particular emphasis on those that Greene believes are a drain on taxpayer money. One target of her scrutiny will be public media programs like NPR, which Greene criticized as “spreading nothing but Democrat propaganda” while receiving taxpayer funding. “Why are we paying for this?” she asked rhetorically, signaling her commitment to eliminating programs she believes are politically biased or unnecessary.
Additionally, Greene made it clear that her committee will also investigate government grants for overseas projects, such as funding for “sex apps in Malaysia” or “toilets in Africa,” initiatives that she described as “all kinds of programs that don’t help the American people.” This reflects a broader critique of foreign aid and international spending programs, which she believes divert taxpayer dollars away from addressing domestic needs.
Earlier this year, NPR senior editor Uri Berliner faced significant consequences following his public critique of the network’s increasing leftward tilt. Berliner, who has worked at NPR for 25 years, was suspended for five days without pay after publishing a candid essay that questioned the network’s editorial direction. His essay highlighted how NPR’s progressive leanings have alienated a large portion of its audience.
Berliner’s essay specifically called out the network for losing its former commitment to balanced, open-minded reporting. He argued that NPR, which has long been associated with a liberal perspective, has increasingly catered to the views of a narrow segment of the American population—at the expense of its broader, more diverse audience. His critique was not just about ideological bias but also about the network’s failure to reflect the full spectrum of American thought, which Berliner suggested had led to a steep decline in trust from its listeners.
Former President Donald Trump and many Republican lawmakers have been frequent critics of NPR, and Berliner’s essay gave them fresh ammunition to amplify their claims.
For Greene and other lawmakers pushing to defund the network, the battle is about more than just media bias—it’s about accountability and the responsibility of government-funded organizations to serve all Americans, not just a particular political ideology.
Congress woman Green is a danger to our country. She is an out of control crazy who wants to tear down the country, instead of looking for ways to improve our country. She should not be in Congress.
