Judge blocks Trump order to end funding for NPR and PBS

A federal judge has agreed to permanently block the Trump administration from implementing a presidential directive to end federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. The two are media entities that the White House has said are counterproductive to American priorities. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss cited the First Amendment in his decision. The impact was not immediately clear — both because it will likely be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress.

Did you know about the bridge fund for US public media stations?

"As of late January, the bridge fund raised $66.5 million toward its $100 million goal.

In December, the bridge fund disbursed $26 million, its first round of grants, which went to 74 organizations operating 186 stations that collectively serve about 30 million Americans."

WTF is up with KVIE? Alarming bit about KVIE trying to go after CapRadio's license:

"Wiesenfeld also floated escalating the dispute by drawing the attention of NPR and the now-defunct Corporation for Public Broadcasting, suggesting in an email that Sacramento State’s FCC licenses could be challenged if those organizations believed the university had engaged in “yellow journalism” that harmed the station and its volunteers."

What the hell? Is our public TV station just trump style ratfucking our public radio station now? Just talking to relatives tonight about stopping our $ support for KVIE. #Sacramento #PublicMedia
