President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board to end federal funding for America’s two biggest public broadcasters, National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, both of which have faced a series of attacks from the president in his second term.

    Okay, so under normal circumstances, is this something the president is allowed to do, or is this something that should be congress’ decision? Because it feels like the latter.

    This is just super disappointing. PBS has some really great programming.

      It has guaranteed funding through 2027 by Congress, so no.

        and the cpb was set up by congress specifically in a way that denies the president the ability to do shit like this.

          Let’s see if it actually plays out that way in practice

      No. I think almost all of his executive orders have been things only congress does. No one is really stopping him from pumping hundreds of them out whether or not they’re even allowed to work. Also, he’s trying to pressure a private company through executive order in this case. They can say “fuck no.” And they should say “fuck no.”

          And thus enters the fine line of being a tyrant. I never vote for the two-party/uni-party system, but is quite amusing to see the outcomes destroy democracy from both sides. Amusing in the most terrifying way.
