Congress has approved Trump’s $1.1 billion in cuts to PBS and NPR – escalating their war on public media. This is funding that local PBS and NPR stations were counting on, and they’ll now have to cut their programming and staff to make up for it.
Americans don’t want this – polls show that public broadcasting is popular with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike. So why did MAGA fight so hard for these cuts? We’ll give you a hint: it’s not about the money.
Time after time, Americans consistently rank PBS و الإذاعة الوطنية العامة as the الشبكات الأكثر موثوقية للأخبار والشؤون العامة.
That’s because they deliver free local news, quality programming, and fact-based independent journalism – without any corporate or political agendas, as they are required by law to be objective. Local news stations provide hard-hitting journalism that doesn’t just cater to advertisers or keep shareholders happy.
Trump and his enablers know that the free, fair, and impartial journalism that PBS and NPR provide means it’s much harder to get away with their lies. They’d rather silence dissent, evade accountability, and replace the impartial truth with their cherry-picked narrative.
تُقدّم شبكتا PBS وNPR موارد عامة لا حصر لها للمواطنين في جميع أنحاء البلاد. قد يؤثر فقدانها على:
تظهر الدراسات إن الديمقراطيات تعمل بشكل أفضل عندما يكون لدينا تمويل عام قوي للأخبار المستقلة - مما يضمن قدرة جميع المواطنين على الوصول إلى معلومات غنية ومتنوعة.
على مدى عقود من الزمن، أوفت شبكتا PBS وNPR بهذا الوعد، حتى مع تمويل عام أقل بكثير مقارنة بالديمقراطيات الأخرى في جميع أنحاء العالم.
Thousands of Common Cause members spoke out – signing petitions, calling the House and Senate, and letting their elected representatives know how important public broadcasting is to them and to American democracy. A few brave lawmakers listened, but in the end, President Trump leaned hard on enough Republicans to fall in line.

Congress must restore funding for PBS and NPR – which Americans consistently rank as the most trustworthy networks for news and public affairs.
Attacks on PBS and NPR are attempts to silence independent media. We must protect free, fact-based journalism and ensure access to trusted programming for all Americans.

يتعين على الكونجرس أن يرفض الجهود الرامية إلى خفض التمويل لشبكتي PBS وNPR ـ اللتين يصنفهما الأميركيون باستمرار باعتبارهما الشبكتين الأكثر موثوقية في ما يتصل بالأخبار والشؤون العامة.
إن الهجمات على وسائل الإعلام العامة هي محاولات لإسكات الإعلام المستقل. يجب علينا حماية الصحافة الحرة القائمة على الحقائق، وضمان وصول جميع الأمريكيين إلى برامج موثوقة.
