Set to testify are NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger, in the hearing titled: “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable.”
Leaders of National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Station on Wednesday will testify before the House Department of Government Efficiency subcommittee about putting out "anti-American" content.
"The CEOs will be asked to explain why the demonstrably biased news coverage they produce for an increasingly narrow and elitist audience should continue to be funded by the broad taxpaying public," DOGE subcommittee Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said in a statement Monday.

The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. EST.
NPR, PBS and Voice of America faced calls for defunding or reform after President Donald Trump returned to office over their alleged liberal bias and have long been of Republicans.
When asked Tuesday about defunding NPR and PBS, he said: “I would love to do that.
Greene also said: "Both organizations have repeatedly undermined the trust of Americans by ignoring stories that were damaging to the Biden Administration, dismissing calls to perform more balanced reporting, and continuing to pursue partisan coverage. This hearing will assess whether the American taxpayer should continue to subsidize NPR and PBS."
