Public Media’s Federal Funds Could Soon Be Cut

National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) may be next on the chopping block as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues its mission to find programs to eliminate to cut federal spending. Shutting off NPR and PBS is not a new idea. In 1971, White House lawyer (and not-yet Supreme Court Justice) Antonin Scalia warned that the newly created PBS could have long-term “significant social consequences” much like the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). For years, we have experienced the fallout from the creation of these biased mouthpieces paid for by taxpayers. Finally, the Trump administration along with Republican lawmakers are trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
