WASHINGTON, D.C.: U.S. President Donald Trump said this week he would work to see federal funding end for news outlets NPR and PBS.
When asked if he would be interested in defunding and eliminating taxpayer dollars sent to the two media outlets, Trump said, "I would love to do that. I think it's very unfair. It has been very biased the whole group."
Trump's comments follow Congressional Republicans, who took aim at federal funding for US public media, accusing it of "brainwashing the American people".
Trump claimed that radio network NPR and broadcast channel PBS were "arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party".
"NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms... should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
