PBS and NPR Finally Defunded

Republicans have been trying since Nixon to defund the propaganda platforms PBS and NPR. Under Trump we finally get results:

The GOP-led House sent a $9 billion rescissions package to President Donald Trump’s desk just after midnight on Friday, a victory for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) drive to defund programs that many Republicans deem wasteful and ideologically driven.

Highlights:

Johnson’s office said the final product “rescinds $9 billion of wasteful spending uncovered by DOGE,” including: $1.1 billion for the CPB, $135 million in contributions to the corrupt and dangerous World Health Organization, $18 million to improve gender diversity in Mexican street lighting, $4.4 million for a Melanesian Youth Climate Corps, $3.9 million for LGBTQI+ advocacy programs in the Western Balkans, $2.5 million to teach children how to make environmentally friendly “reproductive health” decisions, $300,000 to fund a Pride parade in Lesotho, $500,000 for electric buses in Rwanda, $500,000 for a gender equality and empowerment hub, and $8,000 for promoting vegan food in Zambia.

First in this list of infuriating examples of the waste, fraud, and abuse that have prevailed in the Swamp is coercive funding for the repugnant propaganda excreted by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through PBS and NPR.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher is not merely a propagandist but a left-wing revolutionary who has openly expressed her contempt for truth:

“I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction.”

PBS is no better, combining smug elitism with relentless leftist spin.

Ted Cruz makes a succinct case against money being confiscated from Americans to subsidize the moonbattery spewed through public broadcasting:
