there was a big hearing on the Hill involving the heads of NPR and PBS, both of which are in fact publicly funded. Well, I asked my friend Perplexity, which is of course the sponsor of the show, how much money we, the US taxpayers, spend on PBS and NPR every year. Apparently, according to Perplexity, the U.S.
taxpayer spends approximately $535 million annually on NPR and PBS through federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Over the last decade, taxpayers have spent about $5.35 billion on these outlets. They have very broad listenership. These are propagandistic outlets that have huge listenership.
According to Perplexity, in 2022, NPR had about 23.5 million average weekly listeners for its terrestrial broadcast programming. And NPR, of course, is just trash stacked atop trash. It is a left-wing agitprop organization that puts out sort of modulated voices with well-produced music and segments and Sounds very easy to listen to, and it turns out that it's just Noam Chomsky propaganda.
Meanwhile, PBS NewsHour attracted about 882,000 viewers on average in 2022, which means that about 57 million viewers tuned in to PBS's content during any given month in 2022. So, again, these are large numbers. 67%, apparently, of all US TV households, over 160 million people tuned into PBS member stations over the course of a year. Now, that is a decline over the course of time.
However, these are big numbers. They are sponsored by you, and they are producing left-wing propaganda. The hearings were led by Subcommittee Chair Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who is grilling NPR CEO Catherine Maher and PBS President Paula Kerger
suggesting that they were both presiding over publicly funded news organizations that hate the right wing, which is absolutely 100% true. Representative James Comer of Kentucky said people who listen to NPR are totally misinformed. I have a problem with that because you get federal funding. That, of course, is 100% true. And NPR had no excuse for this.
