NPR reportedly in turmoil after editor accuses outlet of liberal bias
2024-04-14
[NYPOST] NPR has reportedly been thrown into turmoil after a bombshell essay penned by a veteran editor claimed the broadcaster allowed liberal bias to affect its coverage — with the editor-in-chief telling furious staffers she did not want him to become a “martyr.”

Uri Berliner, a Peabody Award-winning journalist who has worked at NPR for 25 years, called out journalistic blind spots around major news events, including the origins of COVID-19, the war in Gaza and the Hunter Biden laptop, in an essay published Tuesday on Bari Weiss’ online news site the Free Press.

The senior business editor also said the internal culture at NPR had placed race and identity as ”paramount in nearly every aspect of the workplace.”

Berliner’s essay sparked a firestorm of criticism from prominent conservatives — with former President Donald Trump demanding NPR’s federal funding be yanked — and has led to internal tumult, the New York Times reported Friday.

Right along side The View, the NFL, DEI, reparations, and climate change. Feeding the proles is vitally important to the Deep State.

[Uri Berliner, a Jew, is obviously taking heat at NPR that was once reserved for Conservatives.]

#2  It ceases to be suspected and becomes a confession.

When any Editor-in-Chief, for any Major Media outlet bluntly states he/she/it supported, steered and directed the politically bias reporting, and promoted sexual deviancy.
