US President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday to cut public funding for NPR and PBS, accusing the news outlets of being biased in his latest attack on traditional media.

National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (CBS) are only partly funded by US taxpayers through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and rely heavily on private donations.
