Bill Maher favors cutting public broadcasting funding, rejects NPR CEO's testimony that outlet is 'unbiased'
Opinion by Joseph Wulfsohn • 34m

"Real Time" host Bill Maher argued in favor of pulling federal funding from NPR, insisting it has to go private in the age of hyper-partisan politics.

During his online "Overtime" segment, Maher read a viewer question asking the panel to react to the testimony of NPR CEO Katherine Maher (no relation) and PBS CEO Paula Kerger, who defended their outlets to the House of Representatives' newly-formed Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee as GOP lawmakers call to strip them of taxpayer money over their left-wing bias.

He specifically called out his "namesake" Maher over her repeated assertions that NPR was "unbiased."

"Give me a break, lady," Maher reacted. "I mean, they're crazy far-left."
