Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) took to the floor of the House ahead of the vote to stop federal funds from going to NPR to launch a pun-heavy defense of the public radio station.
“The only biased on those who begin with Morning Edition is a biased for truth. My constituents turn to [Texas public radio station] KUT because they want fact-based, not Fox-based coverage,” Doggett said.
“Like their continued assault on PBS, these Republicans just can’t tell the difference between Big Government and Big Bird,” he continued. “While they pander to Wall Street, they continue to want to terminate support to Sesame Street.”
“All Things Considered, their attack really has nothing to do with balancing the budget it is an ideological crusade against balanced news and educational programs,” Doggett said.
