Trump signs the command of the executive to stop federal financing for NPR and PBS

President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday to end the public financing of the national public radio and PBS to stop what he described as “biased and party policy news report”.

The order indicates the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to “hire federal financing for NPR and PBS” if this is permitted by law. The order could be challenged in court.

“In contrast to 1967, when the CPB was founded, the media landscape is now full of abundant, diverse and innovative news,” says the Executive Order from Thursday evening. “The state financing of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary, but also for the appearance of journalistic independence.”

Trump and his loyalists, including Elon Musk, have long complained that NPR and PBS are biased and support left causes, which is decided by managers from both organizations. Last month, Trump called for her defundance of the truth and called it “radical” monster “that hurt our country so much!”

To date, NPR and PBS receive about half a billion dollars in public money and earn money with sponsorship. NPR says that less than 1% of its financing comes from public sources.

However, Trump said in the order that CPB did not comply with the principles of fairness and impartiality that support its public role.

“Which viewpoints promote NPR and PBS does not matter. What is important that no company presents a fair, accurate or impartial presentation of current events for tax citizens,” he said.

PBS and NPR did not immediately respond to the NBC News request for a comment.

In an explanation last month, an NPR spokesman for a memo to a memo to the congress, which represents the funding reduction: “The elimination of the financing of the company for public broadcasting would have devastating effects on American communities across the country, which rely on public radio for trustworthy local and national news, life rescue warnings and information on public security.”

Paula Kerger, CEO and President of PBS, said last month that an order to remove the organization “would disturb 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 added.

The committee for the protection of journalists said in a report on Wednesday that Trump's executive commands in office have a “frightening effect and the potential to contain media freedom”, including the restriction of access to the regular pool of reporters that follow the president and the FCC in networks, including NBC news.

The former NPR editor Uri Berliner resigned last month and wrote an essay for a right-wing publication in which the liberal position of the network and the lack of political diversity were criticized. However, he emphasized that he did not support NPR.

The Trump administration has repeatedly prevented reporters from covering messages in the Oval Office and displacing journalists from their work rooms in the Pentagon in a number of critics who were attacked as an attack on the efforts of the independent news organizations to report on his administration.
