00:00A federal judge tonight is blocking President Trump's directive to cut off funding for NPR and for PBS.
00:07Today, Judge Randolph Moss ruled that the executive order from the president was a violation, actually, of the First Amendment.
00:13The judge said denying funds based on editorial viewpoint crosses a line.
00:18Last summer, Congress had already rescinded federal support for NPR and PBS,
00:23but this ruling now opens the door for public media entities to perhaps regain some funds in the future.
00:30That's because the ruling would allow public broadcasters to draw grants again from several federal agencies.
