Whatever little educational value CPB networks have left to offer is readily available for free online. Plus, for 50 years, public broadcasting has had an extreme left-wing bias. Taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for it. Defund PBS and NPR. Mike Gonzalez

@Gundisalvus I listened to NPR for more than 30 years until I could no longer put up with its blatant leftist bias. I turned it off for good in 2019. Since then, NPR has gone full Communist. It must be defunded!!!!

In 1979 I watched the McNeil/Lehrer on the coal miners strike. There were 3 union representatives on one side of the table and 3 coal mine operators on the other, with McNeil in the center moderating. You got both points of view. When McNeil dies and Jim Lehrer was alone, this objectivity began to change. When he retired and the broadcast became the News Hour all objectivity was lost in favor of left-wing socialist propaganda. When I saw what was happening I did not renew my membership in PBS. F**k em!

@Gundisalvus Defund them, not only because they are a wing of the Democratic Party but government should not be in the business of funding tv/radio with so many options now.

@Gundisalvus About every smart tv has free tv channels. There in no need for the government to fund any NPR or PBS channels

President Donald Trump issued an executive order late Thursday night that instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt all direct federal funding to the nation’s two major public broadcasting networks – the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR). The move will directly affect the roughly 1,500 public media stations nationwide, as well as national programs like the PBS News Hour. Trump also directed CPB – a congressionally chartered, private, nonprofit corporation which provides more than $500 million to local PBS and NPR stations every year – to eliminate indirect government sources of financing for the networks. Patricia Harrison, the president of CPB, said in a statement that the corporation is “not a federal executive agency subject to the president’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government.” CPB filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration earlier this week after the White House fired three of the corporation’s board members. The executive order is also expected to be challenged in court. PBS CEO Paula Kerger called Trump’s executive order “blatantly unlawful,” while NPR CEO Katherine Maher said her organization “will vigorously defend our right to provide essential news, information and life-saving services to the American public. We will challenge this executive order using all means available.” The order came on the heels of reports the White House planned to engage Congress in an effort to rescind already distributed funds from the public media networks. It’s unclear at this time if the rescission plan will move forward following Trump’s executive order. Both NPR and PBS are engaged in campaigns to encourage their supporters to lobby Congress to protect federal funding. The Trump administration argues that taxpayers should not be supporting media that he argues carries a liberal bias. The president has referred to the news media as “the enemy of the people,” filed lawsuits against CBS News and ABC News, and pushed The Associated Press out of the press pool whose job is to cover his administration.

President Donald Trump asked Congress on Tuesday to take back $9.4 billion in federal funding for foreign aid, the State Department and public media. The rescission request would codify the work of the Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development, eliminate foreign aid programs it deemed wasteful and cease funding for other international institutions. The rescission request would affect USAID and the PEPFAR program for HIV/AIDS relief, among other programs. It also includes almost $1.1 billion in funds that were previously approved by Congress to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). CPB distributes funds to NPR and PBS local stations, which combine federal money and their own fundraising efforts to support the public media networks. CPB funding is typically approved two years in advance to discourage political influence over the budgeting process. Congress now has 45 days to act on the request. The move is the Trump administration's latest effort to defund PBS and NPR. Last month, Trump issued an executive order to end federal funding for both organizations, accusing them of bias and arguing they should not be supported by taxpayer dollars. PBS and NPR have filed separate lawsuits against the executive order, citing First Amendment violations. Both the House and Senate need to approve the request for the funding to be rescinded. If either chamber denies or ignores the request, the Trump administration will be legally required to release the money. Lisa Desjardins takes a closer look at what's in the request.
