MSNBC published an op-ed fretting over how Republicans’ move to slash funding to left-wing PBS could send children into “right-wing” clutches of the “propaganda platform” PragerU Kids.
The Republican-led Congress passed a White House-submitted rescissions package last week, slashing $9 billion in funding already appropriated by Congress. The cuts include $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, for the rest of the fiscal year.
The passage of that package is the first time in decades Congress has approved a president’s request to cut previously approved funding, and marks a significant victory for Republicans who have been working for years to strip PBS of taxpayer funding. Republicans have argued that taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize a platform that claims to be non-partisan but routinely tries to indoctrinate children with left-wing ideology.

$9 billion is a start, but a drop in the bucket. $900 billion in additional cuts are needed to really get the ball rolling.
