On Thursday, Pres. Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the taxpayer-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to cease federal funding of two leftist propaganda machines: the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR).

“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” the president explains in his “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media” executive order.

On Friday, The Federalist published and documented a dozen examples of why Pres. Trump was justified in issuing his executive order ending taxpayer funding of PBS and NPR via CPB:

1. NPR Refused To Cover Hunter Biden’s Laptop

2. 100% Of NPR’s ‘Editorial Positions’ Are Held By Registered Democrats

3. NPR Spread Tear Gas Hoax

4. NPR Editor Promoted Defense Of Looting

5. Country Music Is A ‘Symbol of Racism’

6. NPR Said Declaration of Independence Is ‘Offensive’

7. NPR Apologized For Calling Illegal Aliens ‘Illegal’

8. If You Use The Wrong Skin Color Emoji You Could Be Racist

9. PBS Dedicated An Entire Documentary To Reparations

10. PBS White House Reporter Called Trump Mt. Rushmore Address A Love Letter To ‘White Resentment’

11. PBS Encouraged Viewers To ‘Stay Woke!’

12. PBS Hosted Biased 2024 Convention Coverage

Like The Federalist, Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) has provided numerous examples of the biased leftist propaganda promoted by PBS and NPR that American taxpayers are being forced to subsidize – to the tune of a half-billion dollars a year.
