Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.) Has criticized the proposed $ 1.1 billion cuts on public broadcasts, warning for a slide to authoritarianism in the United States.

What happened: On Wednesday, Sanders went to X to express his concern about the proposed cuts on the budget Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This is after President Donald Trump labeled the Public Broadcast Service As “radical, propaganda” and republicans expressed their intention to lower the budget of the CPB, according to the senator.

Why it matters: Earlier this month, the White House officially submitted a budget request of $ 9.4 billion to the congress, aimed at foreign aid and public broadcasts. This is the first official return of funds under the Ministry of Government Efficiency.

In May Trump signed an Executive Order and stopped federal financing for National Public Radio and PBS. The order mentioned the news that was published by both points of sale as “biased” and “Partizaan”.

The repeated calls from Trump to defend public media have revealed organizations such as NPR and PBS. He has long criticized these points of sale, accused of promoting liberal bias and has sworn to reduce all federal financing for the CPB that supports public media.
