(StraightShooterNews.com) – President Donald Trump has taken a stand against government waste, ordering the General Services Administration (GSA) to cancel all media contracts, targeting left-leaning outlets like Politico and the BBC.
This action exposes millions in taxpayer dollars funneled to these organizations under the Biden administration.
The White House directive to the GSA was clear and uncompromising: “Pull all contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico sub) and Bloomberg. Pull all media contracts for just GSA—cancel every single media contract today for GSA only.”
This sweeping order aims to cut off the flow of taxpayer money to media outlets that have consistently shown bias against conservative values and the America First agenda.
Moreover, the decision comes in the wake of shocking revelations about the extent of government spending on media subscriptions.
Under Biden’s watch, over $8 million was lavished on Politico Pro subscriptions alone, with various agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, indulging in these expensive services.
Trump’s administration is not stopping at media contracts. The cuts are part of a broader initiative to reduce federal expenses across the board, including in agencies like USAID, Medicaid, Medicare, and the Department of Education (DOE).
“The eye of Sauron is on more than just Politico. It’s all the media,” a White House official stated, indicating that this is just the beginning of a larger effort to curb wasteful spending on media services throughout the government.
Predictably, the targeted media outlets have rushed to defend their lucrative government contracts.
Politico, for instance, claims that most of its Pro subscriptions come from outside the government. Yet, this does little to justify the millions in taxpayer dollars it receives.
The New York Times, another left-leaning publication, also had government-paid subscriptions, though their total was less than $1 million—still an unnecessary expense in these trying economic times.
The Trump administration’s decisive action has exposed the cozy relationship between the federal government and left-leaning media outlets.
This arrangement wastes taxpayer money and raises serious questions about the objectivity of news coverage. By cutting these ties, Trump is demonstrating transparency and fiscal responsibility.
Politico’s executive leadership addressed the issue directly in a release to readers in a concerted effort to debunk the fallacious conspiracy theories about the company’s alleged receipt of government funding.
The company’s statement unequivocally asserted that POLITICO is a privately owned entity, which has never received any form of government funding or subsidy throughout its 18-year history.
Despite Politico’s protests, millions of taxpayer dollars were being funneled into their coffers through these subscription services.
Whether they call it funding, subsidies, or simply payment for services, the end result is the same—American taxpayers footing the bill for content that often works against their interests and values.
Trump’s directive has sparked widespread debate about media transparency and the role of journalists in reporting governmental activities.
While some fear a chilling effect on media freedom, others view this as a necessary step towards reducing unnecessary government expenditure.
The administration’s action directly challenges the establishment’s grip on federal communications, reinforcing a commitment to conservative fiscal policy.
