Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media

President Donald Trump issued an executive order on May 1, 2025, to halt federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The order argues that taxpayer money should not support media perceived as biased, and instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies to stop both direct and indirect funding. This action could significantly impact public media operations and may provoke legal and political debates over government involvement in media funding and the definition of unbiased reporting.
