The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a federal entity that helps fund NPR, PBS, and other services, is shutting down. Yet another victim of our idiotic President, Donald Trump, who seeks to dismantle any media format he can, which isn't solely complimentary to him. As this article from, "The Guardian," discusses, "The closure ends nearly six decades of federal commitment to public broadcasting. The corporation was established by Congress in 1967 to ensure educational and cultural programming remained accessible to all Americans." Clearly, Trump doesn't want an educated populace that ask questions, have empathy/culture, or are anything but mindless slaves to his cult of personality.
The CPB doesn't provide NPR or PBS with all their funding, so some affiliates will be okay, but others (especially in rural regions) could face massive staff cuts or an outright shutdown. It is not like this will save our Nation any money, either, with Trump's so-called, "Big Beautiful Bill," worsening or nation's deficit thanks to absurdly massive tax cuts to corporations and those in the top 1% economically. This is yet another example of Trump destroying something that helps citizens for no valid reason (beyond his ego/spite, and so forth). This administration's efforts to strip the United States of anything good are simply enraging.
