The No Propaganda Act would eliminate all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which operates public television and radio stations across the country. The bill would immediately prohibit any new federal money from going to the organization and would rescind any unspent federal funds that were previously appropriated to it in recent years. The legislation also prevents the Corporation for Public Broadcasting from accepting federal money going forward, effectively ending the partnership between the federal government and public broadcasting that has existed since 1967. This would directly affect PBS stations, NPR member stations, and educational programming that currently relies on federal support to operate. The bill was introduced in December 2024 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee for consideration.
