President Trump signed an executive order to cut federal funding for PBS and NPR, alleging these outlets disseminate biased, radical, and left-leaning propaganda using taxpayer money. The order is positioned as part of a broader initiative to reduce government spending, particularly targeting media deemed unfavorable by the administration. This move has alarming implications for press freedom, as highlighted by Reporters Without Borders, while the Corporation for Public Broadcasting faces pressure to eliminate direct and indirect funding sources for these outlets, which crucially rely on public financing alongside private donations.
The White House accused public broadcasters of receiving taxpayer money to promote radical, woke propaganda, leading to a significant executive order limiting their funding.
