NPR and PBS first target in MTG’s DOGE crosshairs
Politico reports:
The new House subcommittee designed to complement the work of Elon Musk has named its first target: the nonprofit news media. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s “Delivering on Government Efficiency” Subcommittee — or DOGE, mimicking its Musk-run analogue, the Department of Government Efficiency — is asking the leaders of PBS and NPR to testify next month.
DOGE Subcommittee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene put out the request to the executives in a letter Monday morning, specifying a preference for the weeks of March 3 or March 24. In her letter to PBS CEO Paula Kerger, Greene pointed to PBS reporting last month saying Musk “gave what appeared to be a fascist salute” at Trump’s inauguration celebration — a characterization that Greene alleges “was clearly false.”
