NPR sues Trump over executive order cutting federal funding

There’s no Constitutional right to taxpayer money.

[econjack]

The EO does not try to restrict NPR’s voice. It merely cuts public funding for it. Those are separate issues.-

[mn-bush-man]

Bizarre!

[shelterguy]

“””The order “also threatens the existence of a public radio system that millions of Americans across the country rely on for vital news and information,””””

Was this written in 1937???

[Jane Long]

Whaaaaaaa.

[Starboard]

First they say they don’t get much in federal money, and now they say cutting it off threatens their existence.

[Starboard]

Precisely right.

[AndyTheBear]

They are actually arguing that NOT having government sponsored programming is the government trying to influence public debate?

[adorno]

Trump’s May 1 order violates the First Amendment’s protections of speech and the press

NRP, 'thy name is hypocrisy'.

No organization is more in violation of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, than NPR.

When the entire staff at NPR is liberals/progressives and no alternate voiced can be heard/read from within NPR, they have lost the free-speech/free-press argument. The Chinese government does not allow free speech or a free press, and NPR is exactly the same.

Was this written in 1937?

No NPR until 1971. If it had been written in 1937, the diction would have been better.

Where's Rand Paul, Ron Johnson and Tim Scott on this? They like to talk about Big Spending. Why don't they open their yaps about this?

Better yet, why don't they try and do something about the portion of the judiciary that their branch helped create that is encouraging these bogus lawsuits.

[wiseprince]

Are they using tax payer money to pay a lawyer to sue the government? Odd

[Seruzawa]

Money spent on lawyers is not money spent pushing pto-pedophile propaganda.

[1Old Pro]

LOL, judge should throw this out - summary judgement. It’s that ridiculous.

[blackdog]

Hey NPR, I guess you don't care about voters? Idiots.

"This ain't your grandma's NPR" anymore. I was ok with a canvas tote bag twice a year and a telethon, not truckloads of cash for the political benefit of snobby whites too stupid to know better, and BLM-ANTIFA public relations.

VITAL NEWS & INFORMATION

I AM 85.
I AM PRETTY SURE I HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO MORE THAN 15 MINUTES OF NPR IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

[PGalt]

HOORAY President Trump!

[cgbg]

The left thinks their institutions are royalty and are entitled to live forever.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

If NPR has a right to public money do I have a right to public money for a radio station?
