Trump threatened to reduce financing of two public radio and television channels
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump launched a new attack on traditional media, and he wanted to reduce federal funds in NBR and BBS televisions, alleging that two simple stations were “very biased”.
It is an honor for me to end the “this” Federal Financing Is. In contrast to what is in Europe, the public media in the United States has no high view and listening rates.
For a long time, conservatives have been severely criticized for alleged that the public media conservatives in the United States are a very left -wing tendency. In his attack on NBR and BBS, Trump said, “All these funds are wasted … and they have a very biased perspective.”
According to the website of the BBS Public Television, the budget assigned to the “Public Broadcasting Foundation”, the body responsible for the distribution of federal concessions and the government’s budget is approximately 500 million. The General Broadcasting Foundation certifies that most local radio and television stations in the United States pay more than 70%of its advantages “, which purchases the transmission rights of NBR and BBS -built radio and television programs.
As a result, the radio “NBR” verifies that it receives only about 1%of direct federal concessions and replaces every budgets through advertising and programs selling for local radio stations. According to MP Maruti Taylor Green, who strongly supports Trump, the Government Capacity Committee chaired by Elon Musk will study the “NBR” radio file and BBS TV on Wednesday. The government’s capacity authority has previously spent employees and has taken very tough hardness in many federal units.
“Do you want to use your taxes in financing ideology and” NBR “and BBS televisions in financing and tremendous left -wing ads?”
The NBR said that 41 million Americans listen to 340 million residents every week. When it comes to BBS TV, 36 million people will see one of his network’s local channels monthly.
The Trump administration has previously dictated the public media sector abroad, which has decided to oversee the Voice of America, Free Asian Radio and Free Europe radio-radio freedom.
