No Propaganda Act
HR 8053, the "No Propaganda Act," would terminate all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports PBS and NPR. The bill prohibits the CPB from receiving any federal funds after the law's enactment and rescinds unobligated balances from recent appropriations bills. It amends the Communications Act to bar the CPB from accepting federal money, effectively ending its federal budget. This directly affects the CPB's operations, requiring it to seek alternative funding sources.
