An NPR editor was suspended five days for violating NPR's rules about doing outside work for another news outlet without prior management approval. Plenty of bad faith actors out there (who don't actually listen to/care about NPR) are saying otherwise. npr.org/2024/04/16/124…
Separately/relatedly, Chris Rufo is openly telegraphing a desire to use media outlets to attack NPR's CEO (who has no editorial control over the newsroom) to erode public trust in the outlet. These people don't actually know or care about what journalism is actually done.
Also, "Defund NPR" is always a tell/shorthand someone doesn't actually know what they're talking about with how the network and its stations operate and no actual change would please them because their relationship with NPR is only oppositional. We'll continue to do the work!
@stphnfwlr NPR isn't journalism anymore bud...its Pravda at this point
@stphnfwlr “attack NPR’s CEO” by showing actual comments that she made? After Progressive journos calling for Ronna McDaniel’s ouster at NBC is rich…..
@stphnfwlr NPR doesn't do journalism, it does activism. That's the whole point of this discussion.
