CPB Shuts Down After Devastating Republican Funding Cuts | JQJO

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) will shut down after Republican-led funding cuts eliminated its $1.1 billion budget. The White House previously labeled NPR and PBS a "grift." The cuts, impacting 1,500 public radio and TV stations, particularly harm local news outlets already struggling in a media landscape dominated by corporate interests and right-wing propaganda. Public donations couldn't offset the loss, leaving a significant gap in educational and informational resources nationwide.
