58-year era ends: Corporation for Public Broadcasting to close after Trump pulls funding; $1.1 billion cut by Congress
From 'Sesame Street' to silence (Image credits: AP) The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a pillar of American media for nearly six decades, announced Friday that it will begin a formal shutdown process following the complete loss of federal funding by the Trump administration. The decision comes after Congress rescinded $1.1 billion in appropriations for the next two budget years, effectively eliminating the organization's lifeline. 'This marks the end of a historic era in which public broadcasting played an essential role in shaping America's cultural and educational landscape,' said Patricia Harrison, CPB's president and CEO. 'Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,' she added as quoted by AP. The move was driven by US President Trump, who has long targeted public broadcasting, labeling the CPB a 'monstrosity' and accusing it of promoting cultural and political narratives he considers 'un-American.' His administration has also shut down other publicly funded media institutions, including Voice of America, and in April, Trump dismissed three CPB board members in what they described as a politically motivated overreach. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cargo Ship Meets Pirates - Watch What the Captain Does Next! Tips and Tricks Undo The senate appropriations committee reinforced the funding cut on Thursday by excluding CPB from its annual budget bill for the first time in more than 50 years. Democratic lawmakers made a final push to restore funding, but the effort fell short. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) offered, then withdrew, an amendment to reinstate funds, saying she would continue working to "fix this before there are devastating consequences. " In response, senator Shelley Moore Capito ( said, 'We litigated this two weeks ago. Adopting this amendment would have been contrary to what we have already voted on.' Local stations, iconic programming face fallout Founded in 1967 and signed into law by former President Lyndon B Johnson, CPB has funded more than 1,500 public radio and TV stations, especially in small and rural communities. It has supported iconic programming such as 'Sesame Street,' 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' NPR's 'All Things Considered,' and the documentaries of Ken Burns. It also plays a critical role in delivering emergency alerts and public safety communications across the country. Most of CPB's funding has gone directly to local stations, including 330 PBS and 246 NPR affiliates. Roughly 70% of federal funding is distributed at the local level. NPR president and CEO Katherine Maher recently noted that about 96% of classical music broadcasts in the US air on public radio stations- programming that may now be in jeopardy. As part of its shutdown, CPB informed staff on Friday that most positions will end by September 30, the close of the fiscal year. A small transition team will stay on through January to manage final operations, including music licensing and royalty agreements. 'Public media has been one of the most trusted institutions in American life, providing educational opportunity, emergency alerts, civil discourse, and cultural connection to every corner of the country,' Harrison said as quoted by AP. 'We are deeply grateful to our partners across the system for their resilience, leadership, and unwavering dedication to serving the American people.'

'Calling people Nazi for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful': JD Vance reacts to American Eagle's jeans row
JD Vance reacts to the Sydney Sweeney row while American Eagle refuses to apologize for genes-jeans wordplay. Vice president JD Vance waded into the Sydney Sweeney controversy of the American Eagle's campaign and said Democrats are calling Nazis everyone who thinks Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. "Great strategy, guys. That's how you're going to win the midterm, especially young American men," JD Vance joked during an episode of the conservative "Ruthless" podcast. "My political advice to the Democrats is continue to (call) everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive a Nazi," he said, laughing the row off. The campaign drew massive flak after playing with 'genes' and 'Jeans'. "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color," Sydney Sweeney said in one of the ads. "My jeans are blue," she said, triggering row that the ad was glorifying good genes. "I actually thought that one of the lessons (Democrats) might take is 'we're going to be less crazy.' And the lesson they have apparently taken is 'we're going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful,'" he said on the podcast. "Great strategy, guys. That's how you're going to win the midterm, especially young American men." 'Her jeans, her story': American Eagle refuses to apologize American Eagle issued a statement addressing the controversy and the comparison with Nazi ideas. "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way," the statement read. "Great jeans look good on everyone." 'I love how the leftist meltdown over the Sydney Sweeney ad has only resulted in a beautiful white blonde girl with blue eyes getting 1000x the exposure for her 'good genes,'' former Fox News host Megyn Kelly wrote on X. White House communications director Steven Cheung slammed the row and called it "cancel culture run amok."
