In a stunning new development, President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order defunding National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda machines.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the president previously called on Congress to defund the absurdly dishonest “news” organizations following a House Oversight DOGE subcommittee hearing, which exposed the stations’ already well-known bias and radical content. This includes documentaries about transvestites and transitioning, a documentary about “Racist Trees,” and so-called educational programming for young children, including toddlers, that featured a cross-dressing freak.
They have continued pushing false narratives, especially about the Trump Administration. Just this week, NPR, citing two anonymous sources, reported that two DOGE workers gained accounts on classified networks, used by the National Security Administration and the Department of Energy, and accessed nuclear secrets.
“This reporting is false. No DOGE personnel have accessed these NNSA systems. The two DOGE individuals in question worked within the agency for several days and departed DOE in February,” a Department of Energy spokesperson told NPR.

Trump pressures GOP senators to defund NPR and PBS amid opposition
The $9.4 billion rescissions package—already passed by the House—proposes cutting $1.1 billion allocated to public media. The move has ignited fierce debate among lawmakers, even within the Republican Party.
“I’ll be for it because it cuts spending,” said Sen. Rand Paul., R-Ky. “But I’m not completely against having various points of view and having public television be one of those.”
Conservatives have long accused NPR and PBS of ideological bias. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who voted for the measure, called them “radical left-wing echo chambers.”
Trump has made his position clear. In May, he signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to halt taxpayer support for the outlets, accusing them of promoting “partisanship and left-wing propaganda.” On Truth Social last week, he warned, “Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement.” He added that PBS and NPR are “worse than CNN & MSDNC put together.”
Super winning!!!
This is from May. Is it “a thing” yet? I think NPR still is active. Never watch PBS so don’t know about that.
Even if the government stops funding them, they probably can still operate as long as they have enough money to cover their operating costs. They will have to get more from Soros, etc.; but at least the taxpayer won’t have to fund it.
Ya think the telethons are long now? Hah.
