President Donald Trump requested that Congress defund NPR and PBS. Taxpayer relief from the burden of having to fund two liberal media outlets that disdain half the country is overdue.

Trump’s requests were sent to Congress alongside an ask to strip funds from the State Department and programs such as the U.S. Agency for International Development. Among these things, NPR and PBS have the fewest redeeming qualities. They serve as contributors to the liberal media ecosystem that prioritizes Democratic Party narratives and toxic partisanship over factual coverage.
