President Trump orders Corporation for Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for NPR and PBS
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for America’s two biggest public broadcasters, which have faced a series of attacks from the White House and Republican lawmakers accusing them of biased reporting.
The order instructs the CPB’s board to terminate direct funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service to the “maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding.” It also orders the board to take steps to “minimize or eliminate” indirect funding to NPR and PBS.
The executive order also directs Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to investigate NPR and PBS for possible employment discrimination, and it instructs the heads of all other federal agencies to “identify and terminate” any direct or indirect funding of the media organizations, as allowed by the law.
The order follows previous attacks on the public broadcasters by the Trump administration and prominent Republicans.
Each year, the CPB disperses $535 million in taxpayer funds to public radio and TV stations nationwide, stations provide free and universal access to educational shows, emergency alerts and a wide array of news and cultural content.
Republicans have been attacking both stations long before Trump won back in 2016, as they are a government funded propaganda arm of the Democratic Party and ever Progressive idea there is. Here are two Americans commenting about NPR at Quora
I listen to NPR all the time because it’s a great source of current event news (pretty much the only one on my drive to work) and has no ads. To me though, the liberal bias is pretty obvious. If you don’t see it, it’s because they are simply confirming your own biases. One thing that comes to mind immediately is that every 3rd story is about transgender or other identity politics issue. I’m not saying all these stories are completely one sided, but the selection of topics itself is skewed. They can’t even review TV shows, or new seasons, without talking about the fraction of minority, gay, transgender characters. These are not things that non-liberals care or think much about. A hugely disproportionate number of stories also end up blaming whatever problem they are talking about on climate change. I see it coming and roll my eyes every time. Science Friday seems to circle around to “what to do about climate deniers” every few months.
Of course it does. When I was younger, my college friends and I called it National Pinko Radio. And we loved it!
As someone who has listened to NPR for decades, I can assure you that NPR indeed has a liberal bias. NPR’s biases show up in their reporting, in their interview subjects, and most of all in their story selection. Given their largely liberal audience and overwhelmingly liberal reporting and editorial staff, it would be amazing if they didn’t have a liberal bias.
I remember NPR being far left all the way back in my college days in the 80s. Let me reverse this: if NPR was akin to Breitbart or The Blaze, would Democrats be trying to pull government funding? Of course they would. Would they be saying that the government should not be funding propaganda with taxpayer appropriations? Of course they would. And PBS has gone pure Woke, as well. Having drag queens on programing for children, gays and lesbians for Sesame Street (there shouldn’t be any sexuality of any type on children’s shows), raaaaacism, reparations, every Progressive agenda.
It was a mistake creating this back in 1970, it’s not what the government should be doing, having broadcasts with government propaganda. If liberals want to give their own money to the two, have at it.
Congress specifically set up the corporation as a private entity “to afford maximum protection from extraneous interference and control,” according to a law passed in 1967. The legislation expressly forbids the government from exercising “any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting.”
Except, anything created by Congress and funded via taxpayer money appropriated by the federal government should, in fact, be under the purview of the federal government. That’s their freaking job. Obviously, liberals will sue and a left wing judge will tell Trump to fund them, regardless of what the law says.
