Behind Trump's Call to Cut Off Funding for NPR and PBS

Trump posted today (April 2) and said, "The Republican Party must stop funding NPR and PBS and completely distance itself from them. These radical left-wing 'monsters' have seriously harmed our country!"

NPR is short for National Public Radio, and PBS stands for the Public Broadcasting Service.

Trump called NPR and PBS "radical left-wing 'monsters'" and demanded to stop funding and draw a clear line, which reflects his long-standing conflicts with these two media outlets. Trump attempted to attack these institutions in order to suppress the spread of leftist ideas, strengthen the conservative ideology within the Republican Party, and consolidate its base.

Previously, Twitter labeled NPR and PBS as "government-funded," causing controversy. Musk even directly responded by saying "withdraw funding." Redirecting funds originally used to support public media to other areas, such as supporting media or projects recognized by the Republicans, to achieve the redistribution of resources, thereby better serving the political goals of the Republican Party.
