The White House is taking bold action to protect American values by cutting taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS. Budget Director Russ Vought slammed these networks for pushing radical agendas like drag queen story hours and race-based reparations in kids’ shows. The administration wants Congress to slash $1.1 billion from public broadcasting and $8.3 billion in wasteful foreign aid.
These liberal media outlets have spent decades poisoning young minds with anti-American ideas. PBS programs now feature divisive propaganda instead of educational content. NPR pushes far-left talking points while pretending to be neutral. Hardworking families shouldn’t foot the bill for this cultural sabotage.
Federal funding keeps these networks afloat despite their shrinking audiences. PBS admits 35% of its budget comes from government sources through backdoor funding schemes. NPR funnels taxpayer dollars to local stations that send money right back to headquarters. It’s a giant corruption loop that benefits coastal elites.
The cuts target outrageous foreign spending like vegan workshops in Zambia and electric buses in Rwanda. Your tax dollars funded Sesame Street episodes in Iraq while American schools crumble. President Trump is ending this global charity scheme that puts other countries first.
Local PBS stations claim they’ll shut down without government handouts. But NPR’s own documents show most funding comes from corporate donors and wealthy liberals. If their content was truly valuable, viewers would support it voluntarily instead of demanding subsidies.
Heritage Foundation experts praise the move as long overdue. Every Republican president since LBJ has tried to defund these biased broadcasters. Democrats screamed about “attacking Big Bird” during hearings, proving they care more about cartoons than American children’s futures.
The administration’s plan protects free speech by ending forced funding of left-wing propaganda. Private companies can still air whatever content they want – just without making taxpayers bankroll it. True journalism doesn’t need government crutches to survive.
President Trump is draining the swamp of wasteful spending and cultural Marxism. This decisive action ensures hardworking Americans aren’t forced to fund networks that hate their values. It’s a win for fiscal responsibility and a rejection of woke indoctrination campaigns.
