"For more than 50 years, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has buttressed the bottom lines of NPR, PBS, and hundreds of local radio and cable access stations across the U.S.
An “orderly wind-down” of operations is in the works following passage of a $9 billion rescissions package that zeroed out federal funding for CPB, the organization said in a statement. It will be the first time in more than five decades that the federal government pulls back its commitment to subsidizing news coverage, a long-sought goal for Republicans who have spent years assailing NPR and PBS as propaganda machines for Democrats."
