NPR v. Trump

Case Overview

The case (25-cv-01674) challenges the government's attempt to yank funding from public media based on alleged 'liberal bias,' arguing it constitutes viewpoint discrimination. The author attended a hearing, noting the executive order targets NPR by name with no similar action against right-leaning outlets, and that a settlement with CPB does not provide real security. The judge seemed unlikely to side with the government but expressed concern over what relief he could offer.
