House passes bill to eliminate funding for public media outlets

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on June 14, 2025, aimed at eliminating federal funding for public media outlets, including NPR and PBS, by prohibiting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting from receiving federal funds. The bill, which passed with a narrow margin, reflects ongoing debates about the role of government in supporting media.
