Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Trump Scores DOGE Win in Senate; Clock's Ticking in House. Atop Da Hill, Bill to claw back public media, foreign aid funds clears key Senate hurdle with Vance breaking tie. Da Caller, House Passes Bill Clawing Back Public Broadcaster, Foreign Aid Funding, Sends to Trump’s Desk. Faux sympathy from Matt Vespa at TownHall, Sorry, NPR/PBS, You're Losing Your Funding: Senate Passes Trump's Rescissions Package. Driscoll at Insty cites URI BERLINER: Happy Independence Day, NPR. ""The Senate voted this morning to claw back $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding for NPR, PBS, and local stations. Pending final approval in the House, the federal government will, after more than half a century, no longer be in the business of supporting NPR. The vote is a victory for Republicans who have long had National Public Radio (NPR) in their sights. But it is also a victory for those of any political stripe who believe the government has no business funding the media." . . . Fortunately for leftists, thanks to their long march through the institutions, a surfeit of socialist-friendly content remains available, including obscure niche outlets such as CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post."

This is so that there is not this warped thought process about the Western world." From NewsBusters FIVE-O FIASCO: NY Times Editorial Board Claims Defunding NPR, PBS Is Like Defunding Police.

From PM, Trump admin sues to remove board members of NPR, PBS parent group who refuse to leave "The complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, DC, targets Laura Ross, Diane Kaplan, and Tom Rothman and seeks a court order to formally remove them." VodkaPundit at Insty gives OUR OCCASIONAL REMINDER — IF ONE WAS NEEDED — THAT LEFTISM HAS NO INHERENT LIMITING PRINCIPLES: Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine "What I find puzzling and interesting about NPR is the same thing, in miniature, that I find puzzling about liberalism in many contexts: the utter inability to impose limits on itself, even when the failure to do so is obviously self-destructive. If NPR had even pursued its ideological agenda merely to the 80% level, rather than essentially to a 100% level, it wouldn’t be in the position it is now. But they just couldn’t help themselves. It’s like a dictator who rigs the election at 100-0, rather than the far more plausible 75-25 or some such." In their mind, they are fair and balanced, between far left, and ultra left.

In other media related news, CBS has announced the upcoming cancellation of Steven Cobert's thinly disguised Democrat propaganda Late Show. From Fox, CBS cancels 'The Late Show,' Stephen Colbert to end program in May 2026 "Stephen Colbert broke the news to his audience during Thursday's taping." With Adam Schiff as the guest. Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff "Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better."

Bonchie at RedState, Surprise: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' Has Been Canceled, and Adam Schiff Is Hilariously Aggrieved. Driscoll has a Driscolly post, BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: "CBS cancels The Late Show, Stephen Colbert to end program in May 2026. “‘THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT’ will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,” CBS said in a statement. “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘THE LATE SHOW’ franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.” CBS said it was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,” adding, “It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”" From Althouse, "I’m sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the recent deal between CBS and Trump that gave him $16 million for nothing." ""Stephen Colbert has been on point and humorous in his criticism of Trump. I hope he finds a home on another network or platform." That's a comment on the NYT article "CBS Canceling ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ After Next Season/The show will end in May, the network said, calling it 'a purely financial decision.'""
Jason Cohen @JasonJournoDC "NEW: CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane tells Chuck Todd he got "PTSD" after Trump assassination attempt — *NOT* from the shooting, but because the crowd blamed the media "For those of us there, it was such a horror."
