PBS Stations Sue the White House

 PBS has come a loooong way from the days when Mr Rogers sang a song about “if you’re born a boy you’ll always be a boy and one day you will be a man!”  Today they push a woke agenda on our youngest Americans.  So why should they be supported by tax dollars anymore than CNN, MSNBC or any other woke information outlet?  

*******************

Trump's May 1st executive order took the form of a directive to the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which distributes more than a half-billion dollars each year to public broadcasters, primarily to local stations. By statute, three quarters of that money is devoted to television, one quarter to radio.

Trump cited his authority as president under the Constitution and federal laws in making the order and said that neither NPR nor PBS "presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens." In other public statements, Trump and his allies have called the public broadcasters "left-wing propaganda" and made similarly disparaging remarks. An accompanying fact sheet put out by the White House cited the claim that NPR published articles "insist[ing] that COVID-19 did not originate in a lab" and "refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story."
