NPR’s lady boss is dodging congressional oversight like a debtor dodges a creditor.
The N in NPR stands for National. I guess that Katherine Maher, CEO, does not know that because the leftist lady boss is avoiding a date with the “National” Congress. It would be like a corporate CEO avoiding a meeting with the shareholders who own a portion of the company. In the case of NPR, it’s the Congress that votes for the funding that keeps the network going. They have a duty to ask questions and Miss Maher has a responsibility to answer them. I think that they call it oversight.
This is the story:
Where the heck is Katherine Maher?
The NPR CEO has not made a single public appearance since April 9, when The Free Press published a bombshell exposé by Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran at the network, alleging ideological bias at the institution.
Even today, when Maher was summoned by Congress to give testimony about whether NPR’s news reporting was ‘fair and objective,’ she was a no-show.
Her excuse? The night before the hearing, she announced she could not attend because of. . . a previously scheduled board meeting.
Instead, Maher submitted written testimony drafted in the prose style of brand management consultants. According to Maher, NPR is ‘bringing trusted, reliable, independent news and information of the highest editorial standards’ to tens of millions of listeners.
Dear Katherine: Some of us don’t think that you are bringing trusted and reliable news. It’s hard to do by just listening to your radio network obsessed with race, gender, and woke ideology. Many of us did not need that memo from Uri Berliner to reach the conclusion that NPR had gone off the rails a while back.
So get your act together and walk to Congress

Probably just getting the ducks in a row at the National Ministry of Truth before the kickoff of information operations for the next election.
Silly rabbit..laws are for Trump supporters!
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate is filled with greedy, cowardly, self-centered people who are incapable of self examination.
She is a typical leftist loser who (like a cockroach) avoids the light. Stop all public funding of any sort for that society-corrupting organization.
The Speaker of the House should have the Sergeant-at-Arms go out and haul her sorry ass in and handcuff to the chair................
I don’t listen to the National Propaganda Network. They have nothing to offer but the deep state talking points.
It’s called a subpoena. If she doesn’t show send the Sgt At Arms to arrest her.
Quit screwing around with these people.
L
Both parties ignore subpoenas. They mean nothing anymore.
Comments BUMP
Maher has a long history of working with US intel agencies. Don’t be surprised if she gets a ‘pass’ on public testimony.
Tell that to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.
NPR needs to be defunded. Why are tax payers paying for a propaganda arm for the DNC and the Marxist left?
NPR is guarded by land mines, then concertina wire then sandbags and a concrete bunker
The stations that broadcast NPR are all state owned and managed.
State legislatures and Governors of Republican states should cease using the NPR propaganda
It is a "barrel of a gun" thing.
Every few days at FR I’m reminded why, in 2016, I stopped voting in congressional elections.
Congress has had decades to defund National Palestinian Radio.
Oh, and then there’s FISA renewal.
Just keep voting. Pretend it matters.
