Trump Signs Executive Order, which judge the federal funding cuts to PBS and NPR

Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump signed an executive regulation on Thursday that aimed to reduce PBS and NPR public subsidies because he claimed in the reporting on “prejudices”.

The order for public broadcasting and other federal authorities instructs the order to “discontinue federal financing for NPR and PBS” and continue to demand that they are working to erase indirect sources of public funding for news organizations. The White House in a Social Media Posting in which the signing was announced said that the outlets were given “millions of taxpayers to spread radically, propaganda disguised as” news “.”

It is the latest step of Trump and his administration to use federal powers to control or sink institutions with whose actions or aspects he does not agree. Since taking office, Trump has replaced the leaders, put the employees on administrative leave and finance hundreds of million dollars of artists, libraries, museums, theaters and others, by taking over the John F. Kennedy Center for the performing arts and the national foundation for the humanities. Trump has also urged to hold back funds for research and educational funds of the federal government of universities and to punish law firms unless they have agreed to remove diversity programs and other measures, and other measures that Trump found to be objectionable.

The radio operators receive public money in half a billion dollars through the corporation for public broadcasting and have been preparing for stiff cuts since Trump's choice, as the Republicans have complained about them for a long time.

PAULA Kerger, CEO and President of PBS, said last month in a statement that the efforts of the Trump government to lift funding for public media would “disrupt the essential service for PBS and local member stations that are offered to the American people”.

“There is nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the cross -party support that we have always received from the congress,” she said. “This public-private partnership enables us to prepare millions of children for success in school and life and also support enriching and inspiring programs of the highest quality.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting sued Trump at the beginning of this week because of its change to dismiss three members of his five-person board of directors, and claimed that the president had exceeded his authority and that the move would withdraw from the board of a quorum to run business.

Two weeks ago, the White House said that the congress would be asked to lift the financing for the CPB as part of a reduction package of 9.1 billion dollars. This package, the Russell Russell Vougt said, would probably be the first of several, has not yet been sent to Capitol Hill.

The step against PBS and NPR, as its administration has worked, comes to reducing the US agency for global media, including Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which were intended to model independent messages that are gathered in companies that restrict the press worldwide. These efforts have prevailed by federal courts that have decided in some cases that the Trump administration may have exceeded its authority in order to hold back the funds acquired by the congress to the sales outlets.
