  President Donald Trump and his allies have railed against NPR and PBS for years, accusing them of bias, targeting them with investigations, and threatening to cut off taxpayer funding. But a new Pew Research Center poll shows that is not what a majority of Americans want,

The article from MSN discusses a recent poll conducted by NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist, which found that only about 13% of Americans support defunding NPR and PBS. This comes in the wake of discussions about the funding of public media, particularly after Twitter labeled NPR as "state-affiliated media," a tag that was later changed to "government-funded media." Despite these labels, the majority of Americans, including a significant portion of Republicans, believe that NPR and PBS should continue to receive federal funding. The poll highlights a broad support for public media, with 66% of Americans opposing the idea of defunding these institutions, indicating that the push to cut funding is not widely popular among the general public.
