The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

4:05pm- The U.S. Senate has voted 51 to 48 on a rescissions package that will strip federal funding from NPR and PBS along with unnecessary foreign aid. The spending reductions will total roughly $9 billion. Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) joined 46 Democrats to oppose the bill.

4:15pm- During a CNN interview, PBS CEO Paula Kerger claimed she “can’t make any sense of an argument that we are somehow biased in any way.” However, according to studies from the Media Research Center both PBS and NPR have demonstrated a consistent progressive bias in their public broadcasts.

4:40pm- While speaking from the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) bizarrely claimed “it’s a matter of life and death” to fund NPR and PBS.
