Trump Seeks to Cut Nearly $1 Billion In Public Media Funds, Targeting NPR and PBS For 'Radical Woke Propaganda'

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.”
