We don't need NPR or PBS. Defund both.

And if the left believe that both are necessary, let them open up their checkbooks and send a donation

Uri Berliner will be out of a job soon.  NPR employees will see to that.

And he can say goodbye to the invites to all those fancy parties where people like him  get together and laugh at middle America and their archaic values

You lost America's trust by lying.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

5-day unpaid vacation...slap on the wrist!  They're afraid to fire him outright now, but when he comes back, they'll just assign him to a broom closet and stick him on the obituary beat.
Yeah, they'll gaslight him.

How did NPR lose trust?

In a nutshell, they lied.

Repeatedly.

Not a basis for trust.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Current CEO of NPR Katherine Maher in 2021, back when she worked for Wikipedia, literally talking about rewriting history because it currently favors white people.

It starts with removing the statues and teaching history in schools.  Then they will rewrite the history as Maher wishes.

I can't think of a time NPR wasn't a liberal hellhole of commie groupthink.

New NPR CEO Gave Ted Talk Asserting "Truth" Is A "Distraction"

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Modernity.news,

New NPR CEO Katherine Maher gave a Ted Talk during which she asserted that “truth” is a “distraction” which is “getting in the way of getting things done.”
 

Calls are growing for NPR to have its government funding withdrawn after a series of tweets by Maher were uncovered in which she supported far-left causes, including endorsing racial reparations and making claims that the planet is “burning.”

But the content of the Ted Talk she gave is raising even more eyebrows.

Maher ludicrously suggested during the speech that far-left Wikipedia had a model “which actually works really well” in determining “what the truth really is.”

Acknowledging that Wikipedia writers are “not focused on the truth, they’re focused on something else, which is the best of what we can know right now,” Maher suggested the “truth” was not a priority.

I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.
