In another “hallelujah” moment, President Donald Trump has finally removed done what conservatives have wanted to do for decades and ended federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
On Thursday, the president posted an executive order cancelling the tax dollars flowing into the coffers of the two broadcasting groups, saying they have “receive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news.”
I am not sure that this will stick going forward, granted. The next president — if he’s a Democrat — will just reverse that order. But, let’s hope it lasts forever.
Both NPR and PBS have pushed their biased, left-wing garbage and pretended it is news for decades. And conservatives have been clamoring for an end to our tax dollars funding it since forever.
Just for a reminder, here is just a tiny slice of the lies PBS and NPR have disgorged…
