REP FALLON: "In 2020, NPR branded Hunter Biden's laptop story a 'waste of time.' Do you know how many times NPR interviewed Adam Schiff about the Russia Collusion hoax?"
NPR CEO: "Idk."
REP FALLON: "25 times. How many times did NPR interview Chairman Comer about the Biden impeachment inquiry and the Biden family's illicit business dealings?"
NPR CEO: "Idk."
REP FALLON: "0 times. 25 to 0. Between June and November of 2023, PBS's News Hour used the term 'far-right' 162 times, and 'far-left' was only used 6 times. Do you find that troubling?"
PBS CEO: "I want to see how they did that analysis."
REP FALLON: "Media Research Center did the study. You either use the term 'far-right' or 'far-left.' That's a 96% to 4% skew. Did PBS cover the DNC and GOP conventions in 2024?"
PBS CEO: "Yes, we did."
REP FALLON: "72% of the coverage of the GOP convention was negative. 88% of the coverage of the DNC was positive. PBS's anchor described the Republican convention as 'outright racism' and 'echoing white supremacy.' Do you believe your reporters are non-biased at NPR?"
NPR CEO: "I believe they work to be every day."
REP FALLON: "The recent registration of your newsroom was 87 Democrats and 0 Republicans."
NPR CEO: "I find that very concerning, sir."
REP FALLON: "It shouldn't be surprising when their CEO says 'I'm so done with late-stage capitalism' or calls the POTUS a 'deranged racist sociopath' or says that 'America is addicted to white supremacy.'"
REP FALLON: "Billions of taxpayer dollars have gone into both of your coffers over the last few decades, and I understand why Democrats are going to viciously and vehemently defend you all because you've become a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party."

The questioner is superb, as tempted as he might be to fill the air with his own thoughts he’s just slowly twisting her over the flames.
My favorite part (hard to pick) was the "I don't believe I've ever read the book 'The case for reparations'" and he said "Here you tweet: I'm going to take the day off to read 'The case for reparations'"

Well, presumably there are many people who say they're going to read a book and then never get around to read the book.
