PBS sued Donald Trump to block his effort to cut off federal funding for the public broadcaster.
-
The lawsuit from PBS and one of its member stations in Minnesota came three days after NPR filed a similar suit against Trump and his administration.
-
Trump had signed an executive order accusing both PBS and NPR of failing to present “a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens.”
Nice. I hope they use some of the money I donated for it.
Pbs is a little sus for taking a ton of funding from shady sources like the Koch family. there’s a reason Nova doesn’t have more documentaries about climate change. but either way, pbs is overall good, and i wish them the best in their suit.

He’s not wrong. But not because the N(ice) P(polite) R(epublicans) have been too far left.
If I had a dollar for every AEI or Heritage Foundation or CATO scholar ended up on public news, I’d be drowning in tot-bags.
Best of luck to PBS.
Donate to PBS if you can.
