JUST IN: NPR editor and whistleblower Uri Berliner has resigned from NPR, blasts their new CEO Katherine Maher on his way out. Berliner was serving a five-day suspension after calling out the extreme liberal bias at NPR. "I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years. I don’t support calls to defund NPR," Berliner (@uberliner) said. "I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism. But I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cited in my Free Press essay."
@CollinRugg Collin, take a look at some of the posts from the new unbiased CEO: Totally unhinged 🙄
@CollinRugg Imagine how biased one can be where a biased editor at NPR is leaving because of an overwhelmingly biased CEO. This is called?
@CollinRugg Defund NPR. There’s no reason a single tax dollar should go to this shill for the Democrat Party. CEO Katherine Maher is way too biased to be heading a publicly funded radio station. The fact that editors at @NPR are suspended for calling out their liberal bias says it all.
@CollinRugg Bravo a journalist with ethics and balls.
@CollinRugg I seriously disagree with the great American institution
@CollinRugg We have government run media in this county and it’s horrifying.
@CollinRugg As I wrote yesterday Berliner was successfully drummed out. NPR cannot continue to receive public dollars to feed American audiences with far left drivel.
