Last night, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order ending the taxpayer subsidization of National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) â entities that receive tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds each year to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ânews.â
Here are some examples of the trash that has passed for ânewsâ at NPR and PBS:
- NPR ran a story titled âCannibalism: Itâs âPerfectly Natural,ââ in which an author described eating another humanâs placenta: âIt was really the prep that made it taste good. Granted, the [husband] was a chef and so he knew how to prepare it osso bucco style and used a really nice wine I had brought. It smelled great. It didnât taste bad.â
- In 2021, NPR declared the Declaration of Independence to be a document with âflaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.â
- NPR apologized for calling illegal immigrants âillegal.â
- NPR sounded the alarm about young men who abstain from masturbating to pornography.

NPR and PBS have zero tolerance for non-leftist viewpoints:
