IT’S A GOOD START: NPR: Trump’s Plotting to Cut All of Our Funding.
The Trump administration has drafted a memo to Congress outlining its intent to end nearly all federal funding for public media, which includes NPR and PBS, according to a White House official who spoke to NPR.
The memo, which the administration plans to send to Congress when it reconvenes from recess on April 28, will open a 45-day window in which the House and Senate can either approve the rescission or allow the money to be restored.
The official, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity, confirmed the existence of the draft.
In a statement on Monday that did not refer to the memo, the White House said: “For years, American taxpayers have been on the hook for subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news.'” The statement includes examples of what the White House said is “trash that passes as ‘news'” and “intolerance of non-leftist viewpoints.”
NPR produces the award-winning news programs Morning Edition and All Things Considered, while PBS is best known for its nightly PBS News Hour and its high-quality children’s programming, such as Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.
There’s a little commercial for NPR tucked right into NPR’s article about NPR.
No bias here!
