Monday on Twitter, “Defund NPR” was trending in the wake of National Public Radio’s (NPR) slam of the Declaration of Independence on July 4.

“In this thread of the Declaration of Independence, you can see a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies,” NPR tweeted on the anniversary of our nation’s birthday. “It also laid the foundation for this country’s collective aspirations — the hopes for what America could be.”

NPR did tweet the Declaration in its entirety, but not before making the subversive point that “women, enslaved people, Indigenous people and many others were not held as equal at the time.”

“@NPR should have been defunded a long time ago. One idiot I used to hang out with actually thinks it’s an objective source of #news… #LiberalHypocrisy,” one Twitterer replied.

“Why are American tax payers still paying for NPR when they are clearly anti-American. #defundNPR,” another wrote.

“Disgraceful media that hates America while receiving funds from America,” tweeted yet another user.

Exactly right, all these critics. Why are taxpayers forced to help fund this anti-American propaganda outlet?
