A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal funding for public media, including National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.
Randolph Moss, a U.S. district judge for the District of Columbia, declared in a 62-page opinion Tuesday that the moves were “unlawful and unenforceable because [they] are viewpoint discriminatory and retaliatory.”
“It is difficult to conceive of clearer evidence that a government action is targeted at viewpoints that the President does not like and seeks to squelch,” Moss added.
