Senate Republicans introduce bill to de-fund public broadcasting

Sens. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., introduced a bill Friday to stop federal funding of NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Conservative Republicans have been itching to defund the two programs for years and they’ve now compiled evidence they believe shows overcompensation of the organization’s executives as well as a trail of donations leading to the doorstep of liberal financier George Soros.
