In a stunning new development, President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order defunding National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda machines. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the president previously called on Congress to defund the absurdly dishonest “news” organizations following a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing, which exposed the stations’ already well-known bias and radical content. This includes documentaries about transvestites and transitioning, a documentary about “Racist Trees,” and so-called educational programming for young children, including toddlers, that featured a cross-dressing freak. They have continued pushing false narratives, especially about the Trump...

Radio host Jim Quinn passed today. I loved his show. Been listening to him for over 30 years. For me, it's like when we lost Rush.

You will never return.”According to The Associated Press, DHS...

Washington — Following the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, Congress created the government-funded Radio Free Asia to broadcast facts into countries where governments are afraid of them. "The U.S. saw China gunning down its own citizens and then also successfully covering it up afterwards," RFA President Bay Fang told CBS News. "The U.S. Congress created us with an eye to giving these people in China and other authoritarian countries around Asia the ability to have free press, to get access to the truth through an unbiased news service." Fang put 75% of RFA staff on leave Friday, the result of funding...

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the U.S.-funded news outlet created to reach people living under communism during the Cold War, is suing Kari Lake and the Trump administration over efforts to defund the organization. The lawsuit, filed in a Washington D.C. federal court, said the station has not been paid a $7.5 million invoice submitted Monday. It claims the funding freeze undermines Congress’s purse strings. Both entities are funded by government grants, with around 1% coming from private donations and other sources, the lawsuit states. "Whether to disburse funds as directed by appropriations laws, and whether to make those funds available...

This weekend, a radio station owned by the George Soros-controlled Audacy outrageously identified the vehicle whereabouts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in East San Jose, California, which is known for violent gang activity. KCBS 740 AM – not to be confused with the Los Angeles CBS affiliate with the same name – elevated the insane unmasking of ICE agents from the leftist Rapid Response Network, which fights against deportation initiatives during the January 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News. But to make matters worse, anchor Bret Burkhart gave exact descriptions of the vehicles the ICE agents...

The 2024 presidential election was decided on Tuesday night, as former President Donald Trump won re-election to begin his second term in office. Trump won after years of unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was unfairly stolen from him in a variety of different ways. He claimed that outsiders from other countries meddled in the election, and that some states and cities were illegally counting votes. These claims were debunked or otherwise proven to be false, but one popular sports radio host is calling out the president-elect for his sudden change of heart when it comes to free and fair...

At 31:10 in his broadcast he talks about complaints his station is receiving that their signal is no longer listenable. Kuhner shares his thoughts on why he believes it's happening and who he believes is responsible (the short answer being the Biden regime).

(snip) At the other end of (NY) state, “Slick” Tom Tiberi has been an institution at 97 Rock (WGRF), where he’s worked on and off since 1982 as part of a Buffalo radio career ... But it wasn’t budget cutting that suddenly cost Tiberi his job in mid-July. Instead, it was an unfortunate Facebook post he made on his personal page, showing a meme of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in matching coffins. If the post looked harmless on the Thursday when Tiberi put it up, it looked like something else a few days later when a would-be assassin took...

Vice President Kamala Harris praised the radical “defund the police” movement in a newly unearthed radio interview from June 2020 that underscores her record as the most far-left senator in 2019. GovTrack’s scorecard ranked her as the most liberal senator in 2019, further left even than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). However, though it appears the list was still on its website as recently as this week, it is no longer there. The National Desk reported that GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer said, “The page that you are referring to was based on a single calendar year. Several years ago we...
