The Trump administration is moving to eliminate nearly all federal funding for public media, including NPR and PBS, according to NPR. It is drafting a nearly $1 billion rescission memo targeting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The White House accused both networks of spreading “radical, woke propaganda” and cited a House hearing that scrutinized their alleged bias. Trump called on Republicans this month via social media to defund and sever ties with NPR and PBS, labeling them “radical left monsters.”
