The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $36 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House.
The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to Trump’s demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage.
This case is an interesting one because other public broadcasters were happy to take NPR’s share in this pie. Not everyone’s happy about NPR being the premier distributor. Not really covered in this article though NPR has previously been more balanced on why folks were quick to jump with the administration on this to form that consortium.
