Even left-wing HBO comedian Bill Maher is saying that PBS and NPR need to have their federal funding cut because they are so biased.
Maher recently blasted the two networks for their extreme bias.
“We’ve outgrown the era where these outlets made sense,” Maher said on his HBO show, Real Time. “In a country this polarized, where Republicans and Democrats see each other as existential threats, there’s no room for government-funded media that clearly favors one side.”
Maher also blasted NPR CEO Katherine Maher.

“I also read my namesake, Katherine Maher — head of NPR — and, you know, she said, ‘We’re completely unbiased.’ Give me a break, lady,” Maher added.
“I mean, they’re crazy far left. So, I mean, I think we’re past, my view, we’re past the age really, where the government, first of all, why do we need to subsidize — why can’t we have outlets like this and we’re so polarized,” he added. “These outlets became popular at a time when Republicans and Democrats didn’t hate each other and weren’t at each other’s throats and didn’t think each other was an existential threat in that world. You can’t have places like this I think anymore; they have to be private.”
