(5MinNewsBreak.com) – In an assertive rejection of liberal media bias, President Donald Trump has commanded the General Services Administration (GSA) to cut ties with major media organizations like Politico, BBC, and Bloomberg.
This decision seeks to restructure how the federal government handles media contracts, potentially saving taxpayers millions.
Yet, the left and their media mouthpieces are in an uproar, claiming it threatens their so-called “press freedom.”
President Trump’s directive to the GSA to cancel all media contracts aims to eliminate wasteful spending on biased outlets that many conservatives believe undermine American values.
These cuts target partnerships with notable media entities, as confirmed by the White House directive instructing the GSA to “pull all contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E, and Bloomberg.”
Critics argue that these contracts funnel taxpayer dollars to organizations spreading leftist narratives.
The GSA manages the federal government’s real estate, procurement, and technology services, making this move a significant pivot in federal spending management.
Furthermore, reports reveal that the Biden administration spent over $8 million on subscriptions like Politico Pro, with agencies such as the Department of Agriculture purchasing them.
Despite Politico’s defense that Pro subscriptions are largely non-governmental, the funds channeled to this service from taxpayer pockets are substantial.
“Politico is a privately owned company. We have never received any government funding—no subsidies, no grants, no handouts. Not one dime, ever, in 18 years,” – Politico’s CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Politico Global Editor-In-Chief John Harris said.
The Trump administration’s action is more than just a cost-cutting measure. It reflects a broader strategy to reduce unnecessary government expenses in various sectors, including USAID, Medicaid, Medicare, and the Department of Education.
Media proponents are up in arms about this policy, lamenting the potential impacts on press freedom and journalistic integrity.
However, advocates of Trump’s directive claimed that this measure corrects the government’s overreach into taxpayer-funded media enrichment.
Ultimately, the pushback from left-leaning media and their advocates is anticipated, as many struggle to understand the necessity of such decisive action in a constantly shifting political landscape.
By focusing on true fiscal conservatism, President Trump ensures that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, setting a precedent for future administrations.
