So what’s NPR, PBS, and VOA?
Note that Trump is actively trying to reorient VOA to be Trump-friendly right now.

The situation with PBS is similar but a bit more complicated to tease apart. The majority of PBS's funding comes from member station dues, but it also does receive some tens of millions from the federally-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) each year, and the CPB also supports those member PBS stations. PBS and the CPB also work together on program acquisition and development.
And Trump's attack on VOA is failing because VOA is protected from him by law.
