Many things wrong w/terrible Berliner column on NPR, including not observing basic fairness. Didn't seek comment from NPR before publishing. Didn't mention many things which could detract from his conclusions. Set up staffers of color as scapegoats: loom.ly/QPLdX1w

It’s baby squirrel season right now! A busy time for people who rehabilitate injured and orphaned wildlife. I visited @DCCityWildlife for this story on NPR’s @MorningEdition npr.org/2024/04/21/124…
Thanks to everyone who read my piece about #NPR, and found it helpful. I wanted to share a few thoughts about what's harmful about the false "wokeness" narrative about the place. slate.com/business/2024/… via @Slate
If you’re a fan of post-apocalypse fiction and you’ve already read The Road, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Station Eleven, I suggest TRASHLANDS by @AlisonStine. It’s one of those storylines that haunts me almost daily. #booklovers
This is a story that SF reporters and politicos have been whispering about for years. Props to @Josh_Koehn for finally getting this out and the courage of the women who shared their experiences. sfstandard.com/2024/04/16/san…
This is about bias so I will state mine— I like NPR. I always have, since I was old enough to understand what Bob Edwards, Robert Siegel, Linda Wertheimer, Carl Kasell et al were saying. You can view my links and consider my points on their own terms, but that’s where I come from
2) This goes for all of us, left right and center, but we should always be particularly skeptical of people who tell us what we want to hear. Especially when they try to buy our confidence and trust like this- this is manipulation and when you see it you should be on your guard:
I'll end with two points of personal observation: 1) I wish the author had attempted to feel or express any empathy for his colleagues. The argument was badly flawed but the conclusion might be correct, IDK. Either way the absence of empathy strikes me as notable and damning.
The rest of the piece is a rant about NPR's "growing DEI staff" after the murder of George Floyd. I drew conclusions about Berliner from this section which I will keep to myself, having not met him, but suffice it to say you get why he and Bari Weiss were a match for this content
Many people who work in DC live in Maryland or Virginia. and he doesn't mention either. MD voter file data is expensive, but if he was really determined to politistalk all of his colleagues he could have paid the money. Virginia, however, does not have party registration at all.
Many things wrong w/terrible Berliner column on NPR, including not observing basic fairness. Didn't seek comment from NPR before publishing. Didn't mention many things which could detract from his conclusions. Set up staffers of color as scapegoats: loom.ly/QPLdX1w
I’m exploring Oxon Run Park in Ward 8 today, in my quest to visit all of DC’s 683 parks. Awesome to meet up with Jaren Hill Lockridge and Kenneth Bridgers and learn about urban farming @Ward8WELL @dc_greens
