The CPB will also revise this year’s General Provisions to prohibit direct and indirect financing of PBS and NPR entirely. The order mandated all federal agencies to review all existing contracts and grants for compliance. It also instructed the FCC and related agencies to investigate whether the two broadcasters have been involved in unlawful discrimination. The president promised to ensure taxpayer money was not squandered on pet projects. He ensured Americans that their money would be used to benefit them.

The Republican stated that it was inappropriate to use taxpayer dollars to fuel partisanship and woke propaganda. He said the financing of news media was outdated and also unnecessary. The executive order claimed NPR had promoted stories that defended looting. It also stated that NPR declined to cover the laptop story involving Hunter Biden, terming it a waste of time even though it was relevant to the presidential election. The order also revealed that NPR said COVID-19 did not originate in a laboratory and failed to explore the theory. The order claimed research showed that PBS provided 85% negative coverage of Republicans compared to 54% positive news coverage for Democrats. The order also stated that the PBS station ran a kids’ program featuring drag queen Lil Miss Hot Mess, which was inappropriate. The White House claimed that PBS produced the movie “Real Boy,” which celebrated the transition of a transgender teen. The president’s order noted that PBS was involved in 72% coverage of the 2024 Republican National Convention. The order showed the 2024 Democratic National Convention received 88% positive coverage. It said no media firm had the right to taxpayer-subsidized operations and noted that it was inappropriate for Americans to be forced to subsidize biased media.
