Federal Judge Blocks Trumps Order to Defund PBS and NPR: A Ruling on Viewpoint Discrimination

The White House plans to appeal, while PBS celebrates the ruling as a victory for First Amendment rights. The decision keeps the door open for PBS and NPR to pursue other federal grants, but anticipates a significant battle in the appeals court.
