President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order terminating the federal funding of National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) to the maximum extent allowable by law. The White House fact sheet announcing this executive order detailed the differences between 1967 and 2025. Not as many information, including news, sources were available in the 1960s as they are now given the options information consumers have today. The left leaning biases for these publicly funded news sources also formed a motivation for the order.<\/p>\n

Unlike in 1967, when CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and innovative news options, making government funding of news media outdated, unnecessary, and corrosive to journalistic independence.<\/p>\n

Moreover, while the CPB is legally mandated to be “nonpolitical [in] nature” and not “contribute to or otherwise support any political party,” both NPR and PBS make significant in-kind contributions to the Democrat party and its political causes.<\/p>\n

An NPR editor found that registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans 87 to zero in the newsroom’s editorial positions.<\/p>\n

NPR’s President and CEO admitted that she regards “truth” as a harmful “distraction” from NPR’s objectives.<\/p>\n

To illustrate its partisan capture, NPR management asked its editors to avoid the term “biological sex” when discussing transgender issues.<\/p>\n

NPR has run stories defending looting and suggesting that crime fears are racist and has described its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices as “inseparable” from its content.<\/p>\n

NPR refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story, calling it a waste of time and a distraction, despite that it was highly relevant to the presidential election.
\nNPR repeatedly insisted COVID-19 did not originate in a lab and refused to explore the theory.<\/p>\n
