Trump Has Signed An EO Removing Funding From PBS And NPR ... BUT ...

CPB is fighting back saying Trump has no authority to do this. What liberal judge will decide this case?

“CPB 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.

“In creating CPB, Congress expressly forbade ‘any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors…’ 47 U.S.C. § 398(c).”

White House Publishes List Of Grievances Trashing ‘PBS, NPR Grift’ That Has ‘Ripped Us Off’

The White House released a report on Monday, delivering a detailed laundry list of grievances with National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and making the case for stripping the two networks of any and all taxpayer funding.

“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 report stated — and followed that with a list of examples of such “woke propaganda.”
The list only went back a little over a decade to a 2015 segment on NPR which featured the “population of anthropomorphic animal enthusiasts known as ‘furries.'”
The list also highlighted two 2017 entries from PBS — a panel discussion on “white privilege” and what it “mean(s) to be woke” and a movie called “Real Boy” that followed the story of a trans-identifying teenager who “navigates adolescence and sobriety” among other challenges.
That same year, NPR ran a story titled “Cannibalism: It’s ‘Perfectly Natural.'”
Other entries included a 2020 NPR segment addressing the “racial origins of fat phobia,” a 2021 claim from NPR that “animals deserve pronouns, too,” a 2022 NPR feature titled “What ‘Queer Ducks’ can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom,” a 2022 dig into a “whole community of genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts,” and a 2024 Valentine’s Day special dedicated to “non-binary deer” and other “queer” members of the animal kingdom.
The complaints about PBS followed a similar pattern, and included a one-sided 2020 “Sesame Street” town hall with CNN on racism amid the George Floyd riots, a 2021 children’s special featuring a drag queen named “Lil’ Miss Hot Mess,” and a 2024 documentary “making the case for reparations.”
The White House report also laid out evidence that neither NPR nor PBS showed any tolerance for viewpoints that didn’t align with the political Left — from NPR’s intentional suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story to the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, among other things. A study conducted by the Media Research Center during the 20214 presidential election revealed that PBS’ coverage of the Democratic National Convention was 88% positive — and the coverage of the Republican National Convention was 72% negative.

Reporter Who Whacked Trump With Mic Identified

The reporter who whacked Trump in the face with an fuzzy microphone at Joint Base Andrews on Friday has been identified.
Investigative journalist Laura Loomer identified the clumsy journalist as NPR White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben.
(We paid her to do that, by the way. We fund NPR.)
Why the Secret Service allows reporters so close to Trump is looking for a situation. Kurtzleben has compared Trump to Hitler so I guess he’s lucky it wasn’t one of those Russian poison dart umbrellas, know what I’m talking about.
He handled it well:

NPR, PBS, And Voice Of America Eyed For Defunding, Reform

Politicians and those who have worked in the public broadcasting industry have criticized NPR, PBS, and VOA, claiming that they promote leftist propaganda on the taxpayer’s dime.
On Inauguration Day, PBS News posted on X a video clip of Telsa CEO Elon Musk with the caption, “Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., shared the PBS News post on X the same day, responding, “As the Chairwoman of the Oversight Subcommittee on DOGE, I look forward to PBS @NewsHour coming before my committee and explaining why lying and spreading propaganda to serve the Democrat party and attack Republicans is a good use of taxpayer funds. We will be in touch soon.”
On Jan. 21st, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted on X, “Free people aren’t forced to pay for state-funded media. Stop making Americans fund leftist propaganda. Defund PBS & NPR.”

PBS has a longer history of being criticized for biased coverage.
Michael Pack, president of Manifold Productions, Inc., told Just the News on Jan. 14th that his Iraq War documentary, The Last 600 Meters, was principally funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The corporation provides funding to both PBS and NPR. However, after initially accepting the documentary for air, PBS declined to air it for being “too pro-military,” Pack said.
The documentary just shows the Najaf and Fallujah “battles from the soldiers’ point of view,” he explained. “I was really shocked.”
Pack, who was CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media during Trump’s first term, asked again last fall if PBS would air the documentary for the 20th anniversary of the battles, but they “still didn’t want to.”

Last April, Uri Berliner, an NPR senior editor, resigned following a five-day suspension from the outlet he had worked at for 25 years. The suspension came after Berliner authored an essay that was critical of the news outlet's liberal bias. He blasted NPR’s coverage of the Russia collusion hoax and ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop.
“In October 2020, the New York Post published the explosive report about the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer shop containing emails about his sordid business dealings. With the election only weeks away, NPR turned a blind eye,” Berliner wrote.
“When the essential facts of the Post’s reporting were confirmed and the emails verified independently about a year and a half later, we could have fessed up to our misjudgment. But, like Russia collusion, we didn’t make the hard choice of transparency.”
The essay also reopened broader criticism of the organization, including criticism against the network’s CEO Katherine Maher, who has made controversial posts on social media. She has described Trump as “racist,” and appeared to downplay protests after the death of George Floyd in 2020.
Trump also called for defunding NPR last April.

 
A bill was introduced in Congress last April that would have defunded NPR. However, it did not make it out of committee.

Likewise, VOA has also had alleged issues of bias. Only days after Hamas’ murderous attack on Israel in October 2023, VOA issued guidance to reporters and editors that said the assault could be referred to as a terrorist attack, but to “avoid calling Hamas and its members terrorists, except in quotes,” according to internal emails.
Years earlier, as Trump began his first term in the White House, VOA reporters and employees shared social media posts that were politically biased against him and obscene.

For NPR, Which You Pay For, Truth Is A Distraction

 

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1860696219187835389

NPR (National Propaganda Radio) is being paid your taxpayer dollars to spew this 'You Vil Eat Ze Bugs' bullshit and calling you a conspiracy theorist and a racist when you call them out for their documented bullshit. When, IF, the Republicans ever regain the power in the White House, NPR needs to be defunded, DAY ONE.
