President Trump Defunds NPR and PBS Through Executive Action
May 8, 2025
In March, Eagle Forum reported on the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) intention to defund National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Now, President Donald Trump has taken action to eliminate public funds from fueling their extreme liberal agenda.
On May 1st, the President signed an executive order directing the Corporation of Public Broadcasting (CPB) — the umbrella organization that distributes federal grants — to cease funding to NPR and PBS. This is to “ensure that federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage.” The EO correctly states, “No media outlet has a constitutional right to taxpayer subsidies, and the Government is entitled to determine which categories of activities to subsidize.”
