On Thursday, NPR’s public editor tweeted out the reason why the publication has refused to report on conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden. Apparently, that didn’t sit well with Donald Trump Jr.
The tweet noted that readers have not “seen any stories from NPR about the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story.”
“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories,” NPR’s statement said, “and we don’t want to waste our listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”

Trump Jr. reacted by calling to “defund NPR.”
“American taxpayer dollars should not be out there being utilized to push false propaganda and cover up for Joe Biden’s corruption!” he exclaimed on Twitter.
“It’s been corroborated with a third-party witness who is on the emails what a disgrace NPR has become,” Trump added.
Defund NPR. American taxpayer dollars should not be out there being utilized to push false propaganda and cover up for Joe Biden’s corruption!
It’s been corroborated with a third-party witness who is on the emails what a disgrace NPR has become. https://t.co/4qXRTWLZa2
