President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday night cutting federal funding for NPR and PBS, decrying both outlets for their allegedly “biased” coverage.

The president’s order calls on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to “cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding” to NPR and PBS. It also notes that the “heads of all agencies shall identify and terminate, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, any direct or indirect funding of NPR and PBS.”
