In yet another display of liberal elitism, the former head honcho of NPR treats hard-working rural Americans as if they’re lost without their precious public radio. According to the liberal narrative, these overfunded networks are the lifeline our heartland communities can’t do without. Really? Tell that to those thriving in places like West Virginia, who have shown time and again they’re perfectly capable of seeking information without government-sponsored sermons from the altitude of the Ivy League tower.
President Trump got it right by signing an executive order to pull the plug on this insidious funding. The Left squeals that the President’s stepping out of bounds. Yet, there’s nothing unconstitutional about cutting off the taxpayer gravy train to NPR and PBS. Their argument reeks of desperation as they cling to bygone days when big government controlled the narrative.
Former NPR CEO Vivian Schiller says people in rural areas rely on public radio and TV to get their information.

The claims by NPR’s highbrow circle that rural Americans, especially those in the solidly red states, need public radio and television as if it’s their sole source of truth, isn’t just old-fashioned—it’s downright insulting. The reality is, people in these communities don’t lean on NPR’s condescension for their news. They are too busy living real lives and making real contributions to this nation, without public radio’s so-called enlightenment.
Let’s not forget Derrick Evans, a formidable Senate candidate out of West Virginia, who smashes these snob notions. Coming from coal country himself, he’s a living testament to the sheer audacity of thinking NPR is the countryside’s lone informational beacon. His stance reflects the grit and spirit of countless Americans who roll their eyes at the thought of their tax dollars funding yet another elitist narrative.
As the Left continues to fall all over themselves to defend this bloated model of information bureaucracy, viewers and listeners are turning elsewhere, finding their sources, and building communities of like-minded truth-seekers. Isn’t it high time for Washington to listen up and allow the voices of the real America to guide our nation’s story?
