Good day all. A week or so ago, a National Public Radio, (NPR), senior editor wrote a piece in the Free Press <\/a>on the problems he was seeing inside NPR. The short version is that NPR is a progressive run bubble zone where conservatives are not allowed in. When the piece came out, all Hell broke out inside NPR.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/p>\n

The NPR Progressives went ballistic and the author of the piece, Uri Berliner was suspended without pay<\/a> for daring to say out loud what many already knew. That NPR is to the left of Karl Marx. This move backfired on NPR of course and people weren\u2019t kind to them while praising Mr. Berliner\u2019s commentary. Finally, the anvil dropped and Mr. Berliner decided that after 25 years, it was time to beat feet. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner, who was\u00a0suspended after blowing the whistle<\/a>\u00a0on liberal bias at the organization,\u00a0announced Wednesday, April 17<\/b>th<\/b><\/sup>, he has resigned.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

“I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years. I don\u2019t support calls to defund NPR. 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,” Berliner wrote in a statement published on X. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Berliner was referring to Katherine Maher, who took over last month as President and CEO and has gone viral for past social media posts showing far-left personal views.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From what little I\u2019ve read, and I\u2019ve only heard of Maher in the last few days, she is a classic Manhattan Marxist. She doesn\u2019t believe in a free and open Internet and has no problem censoring ideas she doesn\u2019t like. She once ran Wikipedia, and it looks like she would have preferred it didn\u2019t exist. Considering that most people consider Wikipedia to be a left wing joke, this isn\u2019t surprising. However, it was a surprise to one of the co-founders of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Berliner penned a piece in the Free Press<\/a> that criticized NPR\u2019s coverage of Russiagate, the COVID lab leak theory, Hunter Biden\u2019s scandalous laptop, embrace of the theory of systemic racism and accused the organization of downplaying antisemitism following Oct. 7.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t follow NPR at all for the obvious reasons. What amazes me is that a long time insider actually had the guts to come out and say out loud what everyone knew. That NPR is nothing more than a Progressive Liberal Propaganda machine that supports the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

Berliner also wrote that registration records in 2021 showed an astonishing disparity between Democrats and Republicans in the NPR newsroom in Washington, D.C., and that staffers were out to hurt the presidency of Donald Trump. Berliner, who said he voted against Trump twice, even said “one of NPR\u2019s best and most fair-minded journalists” said it was good to not cover the Hunter Biden laptop story because it could benefit Trump in 2020. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His piece angered colleagues, with some telling in-house media reporter David Folkenflik they didn\u2019t want to work with him any longer. Berliner was suspended for five days without pay and NPR told him it was a “final warning” and he would be shown the door if he violated NPR’s policy about working with outside news organizations going forward. Instead, he walked away on his own terms.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NPR has doubled down and then redoubled down on their stupidity. What these entitled moonbats might not be considering is what may, and damn well should happen in 2025. National Public Radio is a taxpayer funded\/subsidized organization. There have been calls in the past to end this funding. It\u2019s usually been beaten back by the Deep State slugs saying that people calling for the cuts want to bulldoze Sesame Street<\/a> and Kill Barney the Dinosaur<\/a>. (I actually did want to Barney gone and the show ended some time ago)<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think this is going to work any longer. To begin with, the budget issues and the National Debt have reached the point that we must start cutting back on anything that isn\u2019t mandated as a federal government responsibility in the Constitution. NPR was created back in 1971 when there weren\u2019t a lot of choices for people on TV. Times have changed massively as has NPR\u2019s relevance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If the funding was pulled, NPR won\u2019t close down overnight. They may be listed as a nonprofit, but they are raking in money all over the place. According to Wikipedia<\/a>, (Yes, I know, I know), NPR has a government endowment of $332.7 million dollars. (2022) It also has revenue of $309 million dollars. It would hurt if they lost their taxpayer funds, but they could convert to a for profit entity and stand, (or fail) on their own. (Shutting down the Corporation for Public Broadcasting<\/a> is something else that needs to be done)<\/p>\n

As Mr. Berliner has amply shown, the government should not be in the business of being a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party. As for Mr. Berliner, I respect him for this piece and for his kick to the groin of NPR. However, deep down, he\u2019s really not that much better then the people he\u2019s left behind. I wish him well in his future endeavors, but honestly, I doubt I would ever be pals with him.<\/p>\n
