Executives at NPR and PBS are facing allegations of political bias in Congress. During a House DOGE hearing over public funding for the outlets, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed hard-working Americans are being forced to subsidize news outlets with a "communist" agenda.

NPR's head Katherine Maher and PBS President Paula Kerger defended their outlets, claiming they both subscribe to the highest journalistic standards and are not biased.
