House Republicans just unveiled their latest blow in a series of attacks on American news media:

FIRST: Trump repeatedly threatened to defund PBS and NPR, labeling both outlets propaganda for refusing to report his lies as truth.

THEN: Trump’s FCC head ordered investigations into both organizations, accusing the public broadcasters of violating federal law.

NOW: House Republicans just passed Trump’s plan to rip away previously approved funding from PBS and NPR, alleging both public media outlets exercised “bias” against conservative viewpoints.

Republicans have long been hostile to outlets that don’t operate in lockstep with Donald Trump’s extreme culture war agenda. Now they’re coming directly for PBS and NPR, trusted news sources that millions of Americans rely on for accurate, timely reporting.

Support for public media should be nonpartisan. We can’t let Republicans’ slash and burn approach to accurate journalism go unanswered, and we’re calling on this grassroots team to stand with us: Please, if you’re with us, add your name to our petition to protect the future of public media. →

Thank you,
