Donna Brazile Says NPR/PBS-Defunding MAGA ‘Cannot Compete With Ideas’ (Cue a Hard Trip Over Hillary) – Twitchy

August 2, 2025

One of the more comical talking points that’s been going around ever since the effort to defund NPR and PBS began is that doing so would be a grave threat to democracy. The definition of “democracy” to the Left is of course “Democrats” because they would really like those outlets to have limitless resources with which to help push this brand of “journalism”:

“We don’t waste our time covering anything that might help wreck a Democrat’s presidential campaign shortly before an election.”

Perhaps our favorite Dem/media spin against the defunding of NPR and PBS is basically “unless those outlets continue to be dependent on taxpayer dollars they can’t truly be independent as media outlets.”

The defunding had a fast effect on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting:

🚨BREAKING — The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, funder of NPR and PBS, says it will TERMINATE operations within months following the elimination of their federal funding.

Donna Brazile is saying the defunding is more evidence “democracy dying in broad daylight,” and this is rich:

Democracy dies in broad daylight…. If MAGA Conservatives cannot compete with ideas or facts, they will gut agencies and institutions as well as destroy (or humiliate) with contempt. Revenge has no place in our discourse. We should be able to debate and disagree, but not destroy. https://t.co/YREJKa2e8X

WikiLeaks posted emails from Brazile to the Clinton campaign that tipped it off that a woman from Flint, Michigan, would ask Clinton about the situation there for a town hall. Brazile also told the campaign that Clinton would be asked about the death penalty at a separate town hall.

CNN dropped Brazile as a contributor after the revelations. When the email alerting the Clinton campaign about the death penalty question was released, Brazile suggested the documents were “misinformation.”

Something that was true was initially labeled “misinformation”? Gee, why does that sound so familar?

State owned media isn’t a prerequisite for Democracy. https://t.co/ZHy2IUWRJU

No it isn’t.

Actually NPR/ Corporation for PUBLIC Broadcasting is a Form of Socialism . . A Government run Media company.

Obviously, they couldn’t make it on own in a
Capitalist System 😉🤣 https://t.co/CF7XIInm7H

If there’s such a demand for PBS and NPR as Dems claim then they shouldn’t have a problem making it on their own like everybody else.

Here’s an additional reminder that will make you chuckle: In December Brazile said that Joe Biden will be remembered as one of the great presidents.
