As GOP leaders push to eliminate federal funding for public media for the next two years, 29 Senate Democrats are advocating for the protection of broadcast outlets. They argue that cutting funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) would severely impact local stations dependent on federal support for critical services. This discussion follows the Trump administration's $9.4 billion rescissions proposal, which includes significant cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting funding. While many Republican members support the cuts, some express concerns regarding key programs.
A group of 29 Senate Democrats issued a warning against the elimination of funding for public media, stating it should be 'protected, not decimated.'
