Michael Cloud to Newsmax: PBS, NPR 'Don't Need' Taxpayer Funding

Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, said that he supports President Donald Trump's call to defund PBS and NPR, which he called "very biased," in an interview with Newsmax on Thursday.

"NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms (Networks!), should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY," Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday night. "Republicans, don't miss this opportunity to rid our Country of this giant SCAM, both being arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party. JUST SAY NO AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Trump made the comment on the same day that Congressional Republicans grilled the leaders of PBS and NPR over allegations of bias at their networks.

Cloud told Newsmax's "Wake Up America" hosts on Thursday that "we don't need to have federal tax dollars going to" NPR and PBS, adding that "they're very biased in what they choose to report on and how they choose to frame the stories continually against President Trump."
