Ending decades of taxpayer-funded liberal bias in public broadcasting, President Donald Trump has dealt a crushing blow to “radical left ‘monsters'” PBS and NPR.
Specifically, the president signed a decisive executive order to strip both news organizations of their federal funding.
The order directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to immediately terminate subsidies to these organizations that have long pushed left-wing narratives under the guise of neutrality.
Hard-working Americans will no longer unknowingly fund media outlets that consistently undermine conservative perspectives.
The executive order specifically cited “biased and partisan news coverage” as the primary justification for eliminating federal support.
President Trump’s order directly targets taxpayer-funded propaganda machines that have abandoned their obligation to present balanced reporting on issues important to all Americans.
“Which viewpoints NPR and PBS promote does not matter,” the president stated in the executive order. “But if a private media outlet wants to take viewpoints, it can pay for itself.”
The White House did not mince words when announcing the move, describing these broadcasters as using taxpayer dollars to spread “radical, woke propaganda” under the pretense of news reporting.
This action fulfills a promise many Trump supporters have wanted to see implemented since his first administration, when media bias became increasingly apparent.
NPR’s director Katherine Maher attempted to downplay the impact, claiming the funding represented “less than 5% of its budget.”
However, this admission only raises more questions about why taxpayers should fund any portion of a media organization that can clearly sustain itself through other revenue streams.
The order directs federal agencies to identify alternative public funding sources that may exist for these organizations while completely severing direct federal support.
Despite outcry from the left, the administration pointed out that in today’s digital media landscape, government subsidization of news organizations is not only unnecessary but actively undermines true journalistic independence.
President Trump did not hold back in his assessment of these organizations, referring to them as “RADICAL LEFT ‘MONSTERS’ THAT SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!”
Many conservatives applauded the move as long overdue, recognizing that PBS and NPR have increasingly abandoned balanced reporting in favor of promoting progressive ideologies.
In response, media rights groups have expressed concerns, with organizations like the Committee to Protect Journalists claiming this action threatens media freedom.
The executive order directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to “cease federal funding for NPR and PBS” immediately.
Established in 1967, the CPB has grown far beyond its original mission and purpose, becoming what many conservatives see as a taxpayer-funded liberal megaphone.
The White House also plans to request that Congress rescind funding for the CPB as part of a proposed $9.1 billion budget cut package, addressing broader concerns about government spending and fiscal responsibility.
This represents a significant opportunity to reduce wasteful government expenditures while promoting truly independent journalism.
Former NPR editor Uri Berliner recently criticized NPR’s liberal stance, providing insider confirmation of what conservatives have observed for years.
While legal challenges to the executive order are expected, this action represents a crucial step toward ensuring taxpayer dollars do not fund partisan media operations posing as objective news sources.
