If you're a fan of public radio and television broadcasting, there may be some absolutely massive pledge drives coming your way, as the Trump White House is reportedly readying a plan to have Congress axe all federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.
From The Hill:
A White House official confirmed to The Hill that the package will be sent to Congress when lawmakers return from Easter recess on April 28. The package requests to eliminate $9.3 billion in spending, the official said.
That includes money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees PBS and NPR, money for USAID, and agencies like the U.S. Institute of Peace, which Trump aimed to dismantle via an executive order signed in February.
Conservative social media exploded in support of the move:
After spending decades acting as state-sponsored media outlets for the Democratic Party agenda, PBS and NPR may now be seeing their left-leaning chickens coming home to roost.
And if the longtime media institutions don't receive enough support "from viewers/listeners like you," you may end up seeing Big Bird in the unemployment line.
"All things considered" ...
ā¦ partiality doesn't pay.
