Colorado Public Radio reporting on the merits of their own lawsuit is peak legacy media:
NPR and a group of Colorado-based public radio stations, including Colorado Public Radio, filed suit Tuesday against the Trump administration in an effort to block planned federal funding cuts or restrictions to the broadcasters.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., points to remarks President Donald Trump has made claiming that public broadcasting is biased against him as evidence that he is using the threat of funding cuts to chill the First Amendment rights of the broadcasters, including National Public Radio.
“It is not always obvious when the government has acted with a retaliatory purpose in violation of the First Amendment. ‘But this wolf comes as a wolf,’ “ the suit says, referencing language from prior court decisions. “The Order targets NPR and PBS expressly because, in the President’s view, their news and other content is not 'fair, accurate, or unbiased.' "
Once again, Colorado is at the forefront of a fight against President Trump. There isn’t a lawfare avenue they won’t try, a government entity they won’t weaponize, taxpayer dollars they won’t waste.
And as has happened repeatedly over the past five years, when the government can’t make a case, they’ll recruit NGOs or friendly corporations as plaintiffs.
Katherine Maher, the NPR CEO, is the face of this lawsuit. She should be familiar to political junkies — she went viral for her performance before a congressional hearing earlier this year.
The clip from The Blaze is long, but it’s important. President Trump isn’t making off-handed personal statements about NPR and their affiliates… He’s citing the congressional record, and specifically the testimony of the plaintiffs in the action against him.
The record is thick, and Trump’s claims of bias are well founded. He has, not only the authority, but the sworn duty to address them.
Pretty sure she was under oath.
