Appearing on FNC's Fox & Friends on Friday, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center president Brent Bozell reacted to the resignation of National Public Radio executive Ellen Weiss and credited the incoming Republican Congress: “NPR is hearing footsteps, their hearing the footsteps of Republicans, who are saying…what in the world are we doing spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year on this network that is completely unnecessary.” As NewsBusters' Tim Graham earlier reported , an internal review of NPR's firing of news analyst and Fox News contributor Juan Williams led to Weiss being forced out.
