From the New York Post: President Trump signed an executive order late Thursday night terminating federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

NPR and PBS, which have long been targeted for cuts by conservatives, both receive partial funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which the president argued is unnecessary in the current media environment.

“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” Trump wrote in the order.

“The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration’s policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage,” he added. “The CPB Board shall cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding.”

The report notes that both networks have other revenue streams, including donations from viewers and listeners, foundation grants and advertising income, so the loss of federal funding isn’t likely to to cause either of them to cease operations.

The White House Rapid Response team started rolling out the “receipts” on X, revealing why President Trump has yanked taxpayer funding from the two extremely liberal news outlets:

Here are some examples of the trash that has passed as “news” at NPR and PBS:

NPR ran a story titled “Cannibalism: It’s ‘Perfectly Natural,’” in which an author describes eating another human’s placenta.

In 2021, NPR declared the Declaration of Independence to be a document with “flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.”

In 2022, NPR scrapped its decades-long Independence Day tradition of reading the Declaration of Independence on air to instead discuss “equality.”

NPR subsequently issued an “editor’s note” warning the Declaration of Independence is “a document that contains offensive language.”

NPR apologized for calling illegal immigrants “illegal.”

NPR sounded the alarm about young men who abstain from masturbating to pornography.

NPR featured a Valentine’s Day story around “queer animals,” in which it suggested the make-believe clownfish in Finding Nemo would’ve been better off as a female, that “banana slugs are hermaphrodites,” and that “some deer are nonbinary.”

PBS devoted a panel to what it “mean[s] to be woke” and “white privilege.”

NPR routinely promotes the chemical and surgical mutilation of children as so-called “gender-affirming care” without mentioning the irreversible damage caused by these procedures.

In 2021, a PBS station aired a “children’s program” that featured a drag queen named “Lil’ Miss Hot Mess.”

NPR educated the nation on the “whole community of genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts” and “trans-ceratops.”

Then-PBS White House Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor characterized President Trump’s patriotic 2020 Mount Rushmore speech as a love letter to “white resentment” that promoted the “myth of America.”

NPR reported on the “cousin of diet culture” known as “healthism, which is the idea that we have to be healthy” — as if that was a bad thing.

NPR assigned three reporters to investigate how the thumbs-up emoji is racist.

NPR suggested doorway sizes are based on “latent fatphobia.”

PBS produced an entire movie celebrating a transgender teenager’s so-called “changing gender identity.”

NPR absurdly claimed “limited scientific evidence of physical advantage” exists between male and female athletes.

NPR lamented that “animals deserve pronouns, too.”

NPR ran a feature titled “What ‘Queer Ducks’ can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom.”

In 2023, PBS’s Washington Week roundtable covered up Joe Biden’s clear mental decline, with far-left “journalist” Jeffrey Goldberg claiming Biden was actually “quite acute.”

NPR dedicated an entire segment to the “population of anthropomorphic animal enthusiasts known as ‘furries.’”

PBS produced a documentary making the case for reparations.

NPR disparagingly referred to pro-life Americans at the March for Life as “anti-abortion rights activists.”

NPR management asked its editors to avoid the term “biological sex” when discussing transgender issues.
