What's in the executive order defunding public media?

President Donald Trump issued an order to defund U.S. public media, including PBS and NPR, on Thursday. Trump says the organizations don’t present “a fair, accurate or unbiased portrayal of current events.”

NPR receives 1 percent of its funding directly from the federal government. Local NPR stations on average rely on federal funding for 8 to 10 percent of their operating budget. For PBS and its member stations, that number is around 15 percent.  But some PBS member stations rely on federal funds for up to 40 percent of their revenue.

According to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the nonprofit that distributes funds to public media organizations, Congress has fully funded it through September 2027.  

That’s more than two years from now. So, what does this executive order mean for public media organizations?
