Donald Trump Signs Executive Order Cutting Funding for Public Broadcasters
ai generated text
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order with the aim of eliminating public funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The order, which was issued due to Trump's perception that these organizations do not provide fair, unbiased, or accurate portrayals of current events.
NPR and PBS have fueled partisanship and left-wing propaganda with taxpayer dollars, which is highly inappropriate and an improper use of taxpayers' money, as President Trump has stated.
National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) receive taxpayer funds through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
I therefore instruct the CPB Board of Directors and all executive departments and agencies to cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS.
Give us the opportunity to continue to serve the American people with this unique and vital resource.
There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress.
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.
