A National Public Radio editor who wrote an essay criticizing his employer for having lost its way and lost America’s trust in its coverage resigned on Wednesday, a day after it was revealed that he had been suspended. Uri Berliner, a senior editor on NPR’s business desk, posted his resignation letter on X..

The three-and-a-half thousand-word essay examines NPR’s coverage of some of the biggest news stories in recent years, including the 2016 US elections, the murder of George Floyd in 2020, and the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and accuses the outlet of having “comfortably coalesced around the progressive worldview.”

shocking revelation.....

It’s pretty bad. It’s not like they are just making up lies, but they definitely decide how to report and what angle to take. For example, the other morning they described the “murder” of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
I listen to NPR daily. It’s sad that their news coverage is the face of NPR, because most of NPR isn’t news. Shows like Radiolab, Way with Words, and Wait, Wait… are pretty well done and worth the listen.
And I don’t know who they think is listening to their in depth histories of hip hop music, but their target audience ain’t.

Thanks for the NSS revelation.

I was listening to something the other day -- maybe it was Fresh Air? -- I don't know. And their headlining piece was an in depth profile of a South African funk band guitarist.
There's no telling what that piece cost. Divided by the dozens of listeners interested in it

He knowingly violated policy but due to his long standing tenure, he was only suspended for a brief amount of time.
Someone of less importance would've been immediately fired.

Pre Trump it was biased but occasionally provided interesting insights.
From the moment Trump was elected it became deranged in its coverage of domestic stories and everything is now seen through the lens of the urban progressive worldview.
It’s now just another fledgling domestic agit prop platform for whatever messaging the DNC wants to spread that day.

NPR should receive no taxpayer funds.

this dude didn't give a shite about npr's insufferable libtard culture until he realized it was an opportunity to promote his bullshite zionist agenda
zionists are the ultimate snowflakes

Time to defund NPR.
Or at least defund it in amount equal to how much is spent on their news operations.
If NPR chooses to be completely biased, which clearly it is, then taxpayers should not foot the bill. Let advertisers and woke foundations pay for the news services entirely.

without the tax payers subsidizing NPR, how long would they continue to produce content?

It get about 1.5% of its operating budget from federal funds, which means it really should be able to make up the difference in donations, ads, whatever. Defund it now.

The new NPR CEO is the ultimate rich white girl from Connecticut stereotype. It’s absolute stereotype perfection.

And the other 1/4 is about the climate hoax

I listened to NPR for years. While it always leaned left in the topics it covered, my opinion of it was that its journalists asked neutral questions and allowed people on both sides of issues to speak.
I'm not a Trumper, but since 2016 its coverage and tone changed. While it still presents both sides of the issue, the questions they give to conservatives are much more challenging than the softballs they throw to liberals. Worse, however, is the topics NPR covers. You cannot turn on NPR without hearing about "trans" this or "diversity" that, unless they are covering Trump. Even when the topic is arts or sciences, NPR is always reporting on the DEI author who wrote a children's book about transitioning from dog to cat. I swear that if Trump ever transitioned, the NPR collective would have the most powerful orgasm every recorded.
Their coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict has been horribly biased. Hamas is the elected representative of the people of Gaza. This is a war between two governments started when the Gazan government launched an attack on the citizens of Israel. NPR covers it like Israel is Nazi Germany.

Haven't listened to NPR since Click and Clack went off the air.
