The Corporation for Public Broadcasting said Friday it would begin winding down its operations after its funding was eliminated by the Trump administration and Congress.
The CPB is a private nonprofit founded in 1967 that serves as a steward of funding for public media. It provides funds to 1,500 local public radio and television stations as well as PBS and NPR. It employs about 100 people.
President Trump signed an executive order in May instructing the organization to cease federal funding for PBS and NPR. In June, the House approved a White House request to claw back $1.1 billion in already appointed federal funds from the CPB. The Senate Appropriations Committee’s 2026 appropriations bill eliminated funding for the CPB for the first time in over 50 years.
“Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison in a statement.
All they had to do was report fairly and honestly. They lied straight through, not once fessing up to so many years of one-sided broadcasting. ABN

Totally agree. I stopped listening to NPR after they lied about Bernie Sanders. Some time after that, I made the mistake of turning on the car radio and it was set to NPR and they were talking about the Trump/Russia “collusion”. I yelled at them and turned it off immediately. They are nothing but state propaganda, a uniparty Deep State mouthpiece.
