Show Notes
A federal judge blocked the Trump administrations attempt to cut funding to NPR and PBS, deeming it unconstitutional. The order, signed last May, aimed to end federal support for these public broadcasters. The White House plans to appeal, while NPRs legal team celebrates the ruling as a victory for press freedom. Despite the ruling, public stations are struggling due to funding cuts, with over four hundred jobs lost nationwide. This move fits a pattern of White House pushback on media, raising concerns about press freedom.
