Media GOP lawmakers, conservatives rejoice as Corporation for Public Broadcasting announces closure
Conservatives took a victory lap after the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced it was closing its doors Friday after President Donald Trump and the GOP-led Congress cut its federal funding last month.
"PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT," House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. exclaimed on X. "The days of the American people being forced to fund biased political outlets ARE OVER."
"Proud to lead the rescissions package President Trump signed to finally pull the plug on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., wrote. "$1.1B returned to taxpayers. No more public dollars for partisan propaganda. Republicans are ending wasteful spending and putting America First."
"I exposed that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting failed to vet editorial standards at NPR, PBS, and other ‘news’ outlets before handing over millions of tax dollars for blatantly biased partisan propaganda. Bye bye bye," Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, reacted with musical note and nail painting emojis.
Gee! An able bodied black man gets off welfare and he gets a job. He works his way up the ladder. He's better off.
I'm sure the Corporation for Public Broadcasting can do the same. They'll just have to compete in the FREE MARKET for cable time.
