Vance Casts Tie-Breaking Votes To Advance $9.4B Rescissions Package In Senate

During the hearing, Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) disclosed that NPR’s editorial staff includes 87 registered Democrats and zero registered Republicans.

Bill Maher said during his online “Overtime” segment on CNN that the hearing made a strong case for privatizing both NPR and PBS.

Responding to a listener’s question, Maher repeatedly criticized his “namesake” for suggesting the outlet could remain impartial despite the overwhelming partisan imbalance within its newsroom.
