NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner resigns, citing chief executive’s statement on his public critique of network and her past political posts. His letter below
@davidfolkenflik Good for Uri Berliner for standing up for what is right
@davidfolkenflik Good for Uri. Wherever he ends up he will not have to face the indignity of being forced to use the term "Latine".
@davidfolkenflik He’ll start his right wing speaking tour soon.
@davidfolkenflik Hopefully others follow his lead if the status quo remains in place.
@davidfolkenflik This will hurt NPR with the dozens of conservatives who listen to NPR.
@davidfolkenflik I still find it hard to believe that in 2024 that the CEO of NPR is a white, cisgender, heterosexual woman from an ultra-wealthy background.
@davidfolkenflik This reads more like Berliner had way more going behind the scenes @NPR than just "difference of viewpoint".
@davidfolkenflik Any real journalist would be joining Uri and resigning. David will be staying at NPR. x.com/aghamilton29/s…

@davidfolkenflik Proud of your CEOs disdain for the First Amendment?
