NPR head asks critics to 'show me a story' that proves liberal bias amid defunding threats
Fox News ^ | 7/17/25 | Lindsay Kornick

Posted on 07/17/2025 7:20:11 AM PDT by DallasBiff

NPR CEO Katherine Maher challenged critics to show her a story that would prove the radio network is biased on Wednesday.

Maher defended her organization on CNN's "The Situation Room" as it faces efforts by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to remove its federal funding. Though Trump and other conservative critics have accused NPR of being politically biased towards Democrats, Maher insisted that they "serve all Americans" and seemed to deny any bias.

"It doesn‘t help anyone to take this funding away," Maher said. "As far as the accusations that we‘re biased, I would stand up and say, ‘Please show me a story that concerns you,’ because we want to know and we want to bring that conversation back to our newsroom."

NPR CEO Admits Outlet Was ‘Mistaken’ in Refusing to Cover Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Burying stories can also reveal bias.

Years ago NPR ran a daily update featuring an “undecided” voter.

As each day passed, he kept moving to the democrat candidate for president finally deciding to vote dem.

It turned out that this “undecided” voter was a Hollywood producer and big democrat donor.

Maher is a marxist who is on record as saying that the truth is not a high priority for her. So virtually any story on NPR will have a built in bias.

Regardless of any evidence of bias, make any “public” station that gets support from businesses and announces the names of those businesses, like commercials, participate in FCC auctions and pay FCC fees, just as the others do. All in the name of what NPR loves, equity.

How about you prove you have not been biased against Trump and MAGA.

Are you sure it's not the pathetic public school teachers?

The fact that their biggest source of news is AP tells you everything.

The bias is also in the stories not covered:

The many good things Trump has done for many individuals.
The Constitutional violations and harsh mistreatment of Jan 6'ers
The abuses of power of Mueller when he was in Boston
The abuses of power of Jack Smith when he was at the Hague
The mental decline of Biden while President
The domestic violence of Doug Emhoff in Cannes

Feel free to add to the list as it is a long one.

It's terrible what these public schools are doing to kids. I have otherwise quite bright nieces who have been brainwashed. They actually think the top 3 issues in the world are Climate change, Climate change and Climate change

Oh let’s see perhaps the story where your “reporter” accepted as fact that an AR 15 can decapitate a person?!? Just as a start.
