NPR and PBS received millions more in taxpayer dollars than they disclosed on their official tax filings for Fiscal Year 2023, according to a new report by government watchdog OpenTheBooks. The revelation has renewed calls from Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump to defund both media entities over alleged bias and misuse of public funds.
President Donald Trump has expressed a desire to terminate federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), citing concerns over perceived bias in their reporting.
