Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), on Wednesday, introduced legislation that would stop federal taxpayer dollars from being sent to National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
Blackburn’s bill, the Free Americans from Ideological Reporting (FAIR) Act, would codify Trump’s executive order by:
🚫 Permanently barring the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) from directly funding NPR and PBS.
🚫 Permanently barring CPB from indirectly funding NPR and PBS by ensuring that licensees and permittees of public radio and television stations, as well as any other recipients of CPB funds, do not use federal funds for NPR and PBS.
🚫 Requiring the heads of all agencies to identify and terminate direct or indirect funding of NPR and PBS.
“For far too long, American taxpayers have been forced to foot the bill for NPR and PBS while they push left-wing propaganda,” Blackburn said in a statement. “The FAIR Act would cut off taxpayer funding to these partisan outlets, ensuring the American people aren’t forced to subsidize media that disparages conservatives and does the left’s bidding.”
