Judge blocks Trump order to end funding for National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service

[Dante]

‘A federal judge on Tuesday agreed to permanently block the Trump administration from implementing a presidential directive to end federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington ruled that President Donald Trump’s executive order to cease funding for NPR and PBS is unlawful and unenforceable. The judge said the First Amendment right to free speech “does not tolerate viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type.”’

“viewpoint discrimination”

Reporting facts and the truth the Trump regime and conservatives don’t like is hardly a ‘viewpoint.’

Indeed, the un-Constitutional retaliation against NPR and PBS is motivated by the wrongheaded notion that both are ‘liberal.’

And this is yet another example of Trump’s contempt for the First Amendment and a free press.

Does PBS send money to my business? Then why do I have to send my money to their business?

The Law?

Try and educate yourself on the law

There is no law that says my business has to support yours. If there is, it needs to be abolished.
Candace King Weir donates her money to PBS. PBS holds fundraisers. They should not be allowed to demand I shore them up as well...

No.

pay attention, it's pretty simple

Why and how and when was it decided in Congress to fund those entities


try hard

Mr Roger's went to Washington and the congressional board who was on the side of not funding PBS, allowed him to speak last. When Mr. Rogers was finished, the man in charge of the board, shook his head and said, "Mr. Rogers, you just saved PBS". So they funded.
That is not the PBS that we have today. We now have the American version of the BBC. And I wouldn't spend one dime on that leftist garbage. I should not be forced to help PBS promote their agenda...

You wrote and asked: "Does PBS send money to my business? Then why do I have to send my money to their business?"

You got your answer. The law. Why do you complain? Do you want to change the law? Okay. But laws are not undone by Executive actions by opes like Trump

In fact what the judge is saying is liberal platforms must be federally funded even if no such requirement exists for conservative platforms

Please seek help.

It's frightening how seriously screwed up you are here.

You imagine a Judge saying something they did not actually say and you run with it.

Very weird

Keep it coming, y'all! It's fun to watch you try and try again to hurt OMB.

Mr Roger's went to Washington and the congressional board who was on the side of not funding PBS, begrudgingly allowed him to speak last. When Mr. Rogers was finished, the anti-PBS funding man in charge of the board, shook his head and said, "Mr. Rogers, you just saved PBS". So they funded.
That is not the PBS that we have today. We now have the American version of the BBC. And I wouldn't spend one dime on that progressive garbage. I should not be forced to help PBS promote their propaganda...

If you stopped paying taxes to fund CPB how much do you believe that would be? a fraction of a penny?

The overreach continues and plain fact is that every single act the POTUS takes is NOT under the purview of rogue judges

The Nonsense Coming Out Of The Trump Administration

quotes:

Before NPR, and before there were threats to defund NPR, there was a decentralized scattering of stations across the U.S. airing mostly educational programs.

There was WHA in Wisconsin, which broadcast updates on 4-H clubs and rising dairy prices. And KPFA in Berkeley, Calif., featuring Beat poets and interviews with civil rights leaders.

It wasn't until the 1960s, when Congress began working on the Public Television Act, that the idea of federal funding for public radio came to the fore. Lobbyists from the University of Michigan's radio station successfully convinced lawmakers to change the name of the legislation to the Public Broadcasting Act, tacking on the words "and radio" with scotch tape — literally. The legislation created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (the CPB). Not long after, NPR was founded and began to broadcast the All Things Considered news magazine in 1971

A look at the history of public media in the U.S. as Republicans target federal funding

President Trump voiced his support for defunding America's public broadcasters. It comes a day before the heads of PBS and NPR testify before a House subcommittee. The hearing will examine public media with calls for federal funding cuts growing louder. That funding, in part, helps support the...

Because Judges rule against Trump's actions -- that does not make them "rogue" ones, anymore than Judges that ruled against other Presidents were seen as being "rogue" except by partisan nitwits

Trump hates the first amendment. An America loving judge is there to defend it from Trump.

You mean an obama flunky in black robes

We do not have a king, though Trump think's he is one!

 

[Astrostar]

If you think NPR isn't biased left and anti-Trump all day every day, you are drunk.

Of course, and rightly so, they are opposed to Trump, but that gives him absolutely no right to shut them down. But, then again, Trump hates the 1st Amendment! Bigly!!!

The leftists are so desperate.

They need taxpayer subsidies or they are out of business, because no one listens to their bullshit.

Instead of bitching about helping to pay for a radio network that Trump wants gone, you should be bitching about helping to pay for his illegal Iran War! Bigly/111

Nah.....Trump just doesn't think that taxpayers should pay for free advertisement for Democrats.

If you want to drink the Kool-aide you shouldn't force the rest of us to pay for it.
