President Trump has issued an executive order that attempts to end federal funding for NPR and PBS,
accusing the organizations of political bias.
NPR's Ryland Barton reports it's the latest attack on public media by the Trump administration.
Trump is ordering the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop sending money to NPR and PBS,
and he's banning local public radio and TV stations from using taxpayer dollars to support the news organizations.
The president says federal funding should not support what he calls biased and partisan news coverage.
CPB is the independent nonprofit that Congress funds to partially pay for public broadcasting,
and currently NPR receives about 1% of its funding directly from CPB, and PBS gets about 15%.
Earlier this week, Trump moved to fire three of CPB's board members.
They're suing, saying they're not a federal agency and don't serve at the pleasure of the president.
