NPR has suspended without pay one of their senior veteran editors, Uri Berliner, for exposing the near-total Democrat Party support found inside the NPR newsroom. He exposed the bias that led the news team to become de facto Democrat Party content marketers, though he didn’t use those terms, even if he should have.
NPR answered the charges with a memo penned by editor-in-chief Edith Chapin, claiming “We’re proud to stand behind the exceptional work that our desks and shows do to cover a wide range of challenging stories. We believe that inclusion — among our staff, with our sourcing, and in our overall coverage — is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world.”

NRP has suspended a veteran editor after he blew the whistle on the “news” network’s leftist agenda.
Uri Berliner exposed the left-wing bias at the taxpayer-funded outlet during a public rebuke of the organization last week.
Berliner’s five-day suspension without pay began on Friday, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik reported.
As Slay News reported, Berliner penned a bombshell piece in the Free Press that criticized NPR’s coverage of the Russiagate Hoax, the Covid lab leak theory, Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop, severe anti-Trump bias among staff, and the embrace of the far-left theory of “systemic racism.”
… A former high-level NPR executive who worked with Berliner reportedly told Fox News recently that it would be hard for Berliner to remain at the company.
“It seems to me that it would be very difficult for him now at NPR,” he continued.
… In response to Berliner’s claims, NPR’s editor-in-chief Edith Chapin sent a memo to staff.
In the memo, Chapin said she and her team “strongly disagree” with the veteran editor’s assessment of the quality of NPR’s journalism and integrity.
