YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump said he is in favor of defunding National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, casting the outlets as unfavorable to him and a drain on taxpayer money.
“I would love to do that,” Trump said Tuesday at the White House, suggesting that there was no longer a need for the public broadcasters.
“There’s plenty of coverage. It was from a different age, and they spend more money than any other network of its type ever conceived,” he said. “So the kind of money that’s being wasted, and it’s a very biased view.”
NPR and PBS have long been targets for Republicans to defund. Lawmakers for years have introduced several bills that would terminate funding for public broadcasters.
