Executive Order to end funding to PBS and NPR

Trump slashes federal funding for PBS and NPR

CV NEWS FEED // President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday to end federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), criticizing both outlets for years of taxpayer-funded left-wing activism and “woke propaganda.”

The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to “cease federal funding for NPR and PBS,” citing a drastically changed media environment and lack of impartiality.

“Unlike in 1967, when the CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and innovative news options,” the order states. “Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence.”

“Which viewpoints NPR and PBS promote does not matter,” the order states. “What does matter is that neither entity presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens.”
