“Should the federal government continue to direct taxpayer money to support public broadcasting? The question reverberated through the early days of the Trump administration with many expecting the axe to fall on federal support for NPR and PBS. However in May of 2017, Congress passed a budget that kept funding at current levels. But this was not the end of the debate. Over the next three years, President Donald Trump’s annual budget would call for reduced funding for public broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.” [First Amendment Watch at New York University, February 3, 2025 – The Chilling Effect of Public Broadcasting Funding Cuts]
