https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-signs-executive-order-slash-taxpayer-funds-pbs-npr-radical-woke-propaganda Trump signs executive order to slash taxpayer funds to PBS, NPR: ‘Radical, woke propaganda’
The move against PBS and NPR comes as his administration has been working to dismantle the US Agency for Global Media
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to slash taxpayer funds to PBS and NPR, two media outlets the White House accused of spreading "radical woke propaganda."
The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies "to cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS." It further requires that they work to root out indirect sources of public financing for the news organizations.
"[President Trump] just signed an executive order ENDING the taxpayer subsidization of NPR and PBS – which receive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news,’" the White House posted in a statement on X.
The broadcasters get roughly half a billion dollars in public money through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and have been preparing for the possibility of stiff cuts since Trump's re-election.
PBS' CEO and president Paula Kerger said last month that the Trump administration's effort to rescind funding for public media would "disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people."

"There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress," she said. "This public-private partnership allows us to help prepare millions of children for success in school and in life and also supports enriching and inspiring programs of the highest quality." The Corporation for Public Broadcasting sued Trump earlier this week over his move to fire three members of its five-person board, contending that the president was exceeding his authority and that the move would deprive the board of a quorum needed to conduct business. Thursday's move against PBS and NPR comes as his administration has been working to dismantle the U.S. Agency for Global Media, including Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which were designed to model independent news gathering globally in societies that restrict the press. Those efforts have faced pushback from federal courts, which have ruled in some cases that the Trump administration may have overstepped its authority in holding back funds appropriated to the outlets by Congress. A spokesperson for NPR told Fox News Digital that the organization has, for more than half a century, been collaborating with "local nonprofit public media organizations to fill critical needs for news and information in America’s communities." "NPR’s editorial practices and decision-making are independent and free from outside influence, inclusive of any individual or commercial interest or political party," the spokesperson said. "Millions of Americans depend on NPR Member stations for rigorous, fact-based, public service journalism that helps them stay informed about their communities and the world. Federal funding is essential to the work of public media and all public media stations."

PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger dismissed Trump's executive order as "blatantly unlawful." The executive order, Kerger said, "issued in the middle of the night, threatens our ability to serve the American public with educational programming, as we have for the past 50-plus years. We are currently exploring all options to allow PBS to continue to serve our member stations and all Americans."

>>1402874 This. Could you imagine if the government had been using taxes to fund Fox News? It's outrageous that NPR has been allowed to go on for this long.
PBS idk, I don't think PBS is as blatantly biased as NPR and PBS seems mostly non-political, but I don't really watch them so idk.
I just know NPR outright lies (see the OP pic) and their guest speakers are always lefties promoting lefty views. For example there are lots of sob stories about how America should allow millions of immigrants every year, but no opposing guests talking about how much mass immigration has fucked us. NPR is definitely not neutral at all.

>>1402868 Republicans want the electorate to be as uneducated and ignorant as the OP. tRump said it when he said he likes uneducated people. The American public school system must be destroyed, and only the elites are educated. Then this ignorant public votes against their own interests like they already do. Bread and circuses, as old as the Roman Republic itself.

>>1403087 You think they're going to use that money to help you? They're just going to use the money to fund your oppression. Trump has a huge hardon for the advancement of AI. Why do you think that is? You wont be able to earn a living soon because you'll be replaced, and you'll become utterly dependent on the government (If you pledge your undying loyalty to them of course.) Disagreeing will mean being cut off from the subsidies you'll need to survive.

>>1403087 >Explain how importing millions of third-worlders every year is in my own best interest. Go watch Gone With The Wind. Understand, the great wealth that made America such a powerful nation originally was built on the back of slave labour. They eventually made that officially illegal, but the system it works on still exists. The difference is now the slaves are semi-willing migrant workers. The whole reason they come is because Americans themselves aren't willing to be out in the hot sun all day picking peppers or on some shitty assembly line. Those that would do the job sure as fuck won't do it for the same wage as some immigrant.
So, those millions of third worlders being imported is in your best interest because that's what keeps the American house of cards economy running. Food prices are bad already, how much worse do you think they will be when the manual labour needed to keep things going switches from workers with little to no rights earning less than minimum wage to American citizens who will demand not only decent wages for doing those shit jobs but benefits like health care etc on top?

NPR is registered as a non-profit corporation, but was created by the US Congress using official legislative power. It is a membership-based organization and most of its members are government entities. Roughly 1/5 of it's funding is received directly from government sources. The previous CEO of national public radio Inc is John F Lansing. Prior to becoming CEO of NPR 2 years ago, Lansing was the CEO of U.S. Agency for Global Media, a federal entity operated by the US State department and used as a propaganda outlets in foreign countries to push US foreign policy. Well known propaganda outlets owned by USAGM include Voice of America and Radio Free Asia. From 2015 to 2019, Lansing served as the CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the independent federal agency whose programming reaches an average weekly audience of 345 million people in 62 languages. He guided the organization in becoming a leading developer of unique content across television, digital, mobile and radio platforms. The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), formerly the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG),[2] is an independent agency of the United States government that broadcasts news and information.[3] It describes its mission, "vital to US national interests", to "inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy"[4] and in accordance with the "broad foreign policy objectives of the United States".[5] USAGM supervises Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio y Televisión Martí, Radio Free Asia, and Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa.[7] The board of USAGM has an advisory role. It previously supervised USAGM media networks directly, but was replaced with a single appointed chief executive officer (CEO) as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, passed in December 2016.[8][9][10][11]

Even when they have a program about something ostensibly non-political, (I heard a good segment about male testosterone supplements, for example) they still manage to insert some kinda anti-Trump rhetoric wherever possible.

>>1403376 Hey shithead, turns out a president who chooses a random sector of the population to fuck over each day is actually quite newsworthy.
For example, yesterday this retard decided to announce tariffs for every single film not produced in the US, which effectively assassinates half the entertainment industry over night if actually implemented.

>>1403379 >which effectively assassinates half the entertainment industry over night if actually implemented. Good. Half of the entertainment industry is garbage. Hollywood is full of rehashed stories and a lack of imagination. I genuinely cannot remember a single movie I was excited for since the Top Gun sequel.
I go to review sites every now and again for good movies, and it's all slice of life romcom comic book hero bullshit. And the stuff that's praised by critics is usually degenerate in some way e.g bipoc women or trying to pump blood into a dead franchise.
Am I supposed to be mad that jewish investment firms can't purposefully botch movies to use them as a tax write-off?
Fucks sake, man. Only lefties genuinely care about this shit.

>>1403397 >Hollywood is full of rehashed stories and a lack of imagination. Yeah I'm sure forcing every single studio to only make stories directed and shot in the US is going to help with that.
Plus, this is also going to gut every single company that's already paid for the rights to distribute foreign films.

>>1403399 >Plus, this is also going to gut every single company that's already paid for the rights to distribute foreign films. Okay? So the American companies who were paid by Europoors to pump out slop get told to go hang themselves, who gives a shit?
These types of companies only entertain people who want to feel good about their own political views or buy a ticket to a move they don't know they'll hate.
American movie culture was gutted by retards who insisted on turning a fun afternoon with the family into a mouthpiece of films that tut-tut you if you don't want to celebrate the difficulties of being a single pregnant woman or whatever the fuck.

btw NPR didn't criticize the Democrats for all the shit they did that's a lot worse than taxing the film industry, like Biden's border, DEI, feminism shit, etc.
