NPR sues Trump over executive order cutting federal funding

[SassyIrishLass]

Free speech as defense can be used, yes.

Good grief the American taxpayers shouldn't have to fund "free speech"

 

[struth]

But we can spend $10 million to restore a statue that honors those who fought to keep slavery legal.

When have a statue honoring the dem party? Where?

No one is stopping them they have to pay for it themselves now. The SC ruled they can be cut off from taxpayer funds

 

[whitehall]

What else did you expect?

 

[hadit]

Free speech as defense can be used, yes.

No one's stopping them from broadcasting. We're just not going to fund it anymore. See, a right is something the government can't stop you from exercising. You can say what you want, but no one is required to buy you a microphone and sound system.

Would you oppose NPR if they actively supported trump as much as fox?

If NPR had not been biased for my entire life, they would be just fine, but they were incrdedibly biased and now they are fucked.

So fawning support of trump would have been just fine?

So Concerned American , how do you get fake news from a simple Y/N question?

Gotta hand it to Trump, he knows which things to do to make his base squirt their panties.

He knows his base holds contempt for education and educated people, as are found all over NPR and PBS. And for anyone who doesnt kiss the ring.

NPR became an easy target.

Yet you educated people can’t figure out how to get a radio station to work with out tax payer dollars

Imagine that

“National Public Radio on Tuesday sued President Donald Trump over his executive order to cease all federal funding for the nonprofit broadcaster.

Trump’s May 1 order violates the First Amendment’s protections for speech and the press and steps on Congress’ authority, NPR and three other public radio stations wrote in the lawsuit filed in federal court Washington, D.C.”

Very good.

Trump is an authoritarian despot with nothing but contempt for the First Amendment, a free press, and the Constitution.

Cutting NPR funding was not via executive order. It was included in the Big Beautiful Bill passed by a majority in Congress and signed into law by President Trump.

And that's a fact. When Air America's funding dried up, their crappy programming had failed to attract advertisers and it had to close up shop.

As liberals tend to be more well educated and informed, the market for a propaganda radio station that tells them what to think is just not there.

Then why are they trying to get tax payers to fund it?

No, different bill.

I really enjoyed Ken Burns Civil War and Baseball documentary. I also watch Antique Roadshow a lot,

Certainly far more than a monument to those who lost the Civil War.

Their right to free speech isn’t being violated.
