The Trump administration has drafted a memo to Congress outlining its intent to end nearly all federal funding for public media, which includes NPR and PBS, according to a White House official who spoke to NPR.
The memo, which the administration plans to send to Congress when it reconvenes from recess on April 28, will open a 45-day window in which the House and Senate can either approve the rescission or allow the money to be restored.
The official, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity, confirmed the existence of the draft.
Some Trump crony sent them a letter saying they could no longer criticize trump in any way and must praise trump at the start of each show and they said, uh, no fuck off. So they are cutting all their funds. This is just a guess.
