No Propaganda Act

# No Propaganda Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 1211 would eliminate federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and take back money previously given to the organization. The CPB is a nonprofit created by Congress that financially supports local public television and radio stations across the country, including well-known networks like PBS and NPR. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily impact public television and radio stations that depend on CPB funding, potentially affecting their ability to produce and broadcast programming. It would also affect viewers and listeners who rely on public broadcasting services, as well as CPB employees and affiliated organizations. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives.

No action has been taken on it at this time. --- *Note: The bill's title references "propaganda," but the official summary describes it simply as a funding cut. The characterization of CPB's content as propaganda would be a matter of political debate.*.
