NPR has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, contesting an executive order which seeks to cut funding to public broadcasters.

NPR's CEO emphasized the importance of press freedom, arguing that the order is unconstitutional. Joined by Colorado public radio stations, NPR seeks to have the order blocked. The administration has defended the cuts by accusing NPR and PBS of promoting partisanship and using taxpayer dollars for what they term 'left-wing propaganda.'
