Liberal Congress voted on Defund PBS and NPR for $ 1 billion star-news.press/wp

Liberal commentators, legislators, and journalists working on a TV program and NPR criticized the congressional vote this week, which stripped federal funding from their outlets.

In the aftermath of the Senate, the House of Representatives voted from 216 to 213 to pass the 9 billion dollars of President Donald Trump’s cancellation package late Thursday night. Upon signing by Trump, he will prevent 8 billion dollars from funding for the United States Agency for International Development (the United States Agency for International Development) and one billion dollars for the General Broadcasting Corporation – which is funded by PBS and NPR – for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Jeff Bennett’s reaction, participating in NewShour to voting on X, was saying: “This is a risky moment for the public media-but the determination is stronger than ever. If you are appreciating the independent press, educational programming and trusted local coverage, please support the local PBS or NPR station.”

The other liberals were weighing the passage of the bill. Former US Labor Minister Robert Reish published a reaction to the vote on X.

“The Senate has just issued a Trump request to reduce $ 1.1 billion of federal funding for public broadcasting. Why is Trump very very in the PBS and NPR grumbling boxes? It is part of a larger plan-where he can control not only what we do, but what we are thinking about,” he wrote. “

In addition, the Reich post was characterized by a video showing for Sesame Street Elmo how Trump cut money into a TV program in order to control information all over the country.

He said in the video: “And Trump, like the former tyranny, wants to control not only what we do, but also how we think.”

Javal also shared its full statement about the vote, which declared, “Simply, the Republicans accelerate the American people. However, again, Republicans lined up in a pity behind Trump to do everything he says instead of behaving in the best interests of the people who represent them.”
