National Public Radio and three local stations filed a lawsuit Tuesday against President Donald Trump, arguing that an executive order aimed at cutting federal funding for the organization is illegal.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington by NPR, Colorado Public Radio, Aspen Public Radio and KUTE, Inc. argues that Trump’s executive order to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR violates the First Amendment.

Authorization =/= obligation, very simple really

I see so you're under the impression that after legislation has been passed there's no obligation to follow it. You must be really enjoying the current political climate.

Correct, legislation authorizing funding for a thing does not obligate anyone to continue funding that thing in perpetuity, fucking duh. I hate Trump but one of the few silver linings to his presidency is the dismantling of our many propaganda outlets. Fuck NPR, cry about it loser.

Lol nothing insincere about it, you're just butthurt because you love US propaganda like a good little patriot. If you want to spread that brainrot so badly you can pay for it yourself.
