NPR is demanding answers from the State Department over its decision to remove one of the outlet's reporters from a press group traveling with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on a trip to Europe and Central Asia this week.
In a letter to the State Department on Tuesday, NPR president and CEO John Lansing and SVP of news Nancy Barnes called for the department to explain its “justification” for removing NPR diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen from the press group.
They also asked the department to provide any documents concerning the decision, including any correspondence focused on the reporter, and for “clarification” on whether Kelemen and other NPR reporters would be barred from Pompeo’s future travels.
The letter was posted to NPR's website on Tuesday evening.
"If, in fact, the State Department has removed her from the trip, we ask that you immediately reverse that decision and permit Kelemen to join her press colleagues on the trip," the NPR executives wrote to Pompeo.

Try asking nicely.
Isn’t this the lying, snitch chick?
They can’t say F off on the wh.gov site, can they?
the reply should be: BFYTW
It is well past time to end National People’s Revolutionary Broadcasting.
Maybe we should privatize them without explanation either
Yes. Piss off is a response that comes to mind.
United States of America Department of State Public Broadcasting System Dear PBS; Pound sand. Cordially, Secretary of State...
The answer won’t be lengthy.
She can’t be trusted. She broke a basic rule, off record means off record.
My letter:
The reporter was irritating!
Signed

Should it be longer?
Liberal hacks gonna liberal hack...
Pull every penny from them after you force them to play conservative programs for 20 years to make up for the anti-G-d programs of the last 40.
Get over it!
Nope, she should stay home. NPR has a problem and needs to replace their staff with Trump Republicans to show some balance considering the use of US taxpayer funds.
Don not bite the hand that feeds you. It is about time this crap commie agency is abolished. What purpose does it serve other than serving to destroy this country?
How about she was a bitch.
Who are they to “demand answers??” I hope they get no response at all.
