President Donald Trump‘s demand to strip $1.1 billion in federal funding from National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service came one step closer to reality.
Tuesday night House Speaker Mike Johnson said that he had officially received the rescissions request from the White House to extinguish a total of $9.4 billion in funding from NPR, PBS, the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development, the latter of which the administration has disassembled.
The $1.1 billion was Congressional funding for the public broadcasters for the next two years. Only about 1 percent of NPR’s budget comes from the federal government, but the heads of NPR and PBS have both warned that local TV and radio stations could be impacted by this move.
If they only get 1% of their budget from the taxpayers, the recission won’t have any impact on their funding…or programming!
Do not believe that propaganda we 8:27
The socialist republic of Maryland under governor Tax-and-Spend Moore has enough donors that will ensure that the propaganda is still published!
