Trump Cuts PBS, NPR Funding

Donald Trump signed an executive order to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR, alleging 'bias' in their reporting. PBS CEO Paula Kerger declared the order 'blatantly unlawful' and a threat to their educational programming. The order instructs the United States — Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies to cease funding and root out indirect financing. The United States — White House justified the move by claiming the outlets spread 'radical, woke propaganda.' This action is part of a broader pattern by Donald Trump's administration to utilize federal powers against institutions whose viewpoints he disagrees with, including ousting leaders, cutting funding to arts and education, and attempting to dismantle the United States — United States Agency for Global Media. The United States — Corporation for Public Broadcasting has sued Donald Trump over attempts to fire its board members, and Congress is being asked to rescind funding.
