(AP) — 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.
That's not how it works. NPR doesn't broadcast anything; their member stations do. So, the administration would have to pull hundreds or thousands of individual broadcast licenses.
Trump might do that, I suppose, but it's not as easy as yanking a single license and would lead to a multitude of lawsuits, all of which he would likely lose.
