How many NPR reporters appear on other TV and Radio programs as guests, and write editorial letters?

Berliner wrote an editorial, he didn't get paid for it so he wasn't 'working' for another news outlet.

But like Trump, this is just an excuse to punish Berliner for the embarrassment he has caused NPR.

If NPR were privately owned, I wouldn’t care what they said. But they receive $ 500 million in our tax money annually and have 87 highly paid “executives” all of whom are registered Democrats. And the Republicans in Congress, who have some control over the purse strings, do nothing about it.

The issue was he did not get permission from NPR. I get that and it's not an unreasonable rule.

But there was no way that Berliner was going to get permission to publish that letter anywhere, especially at The Free Press. Bari Weiss is persona non grata in many liberal circles. The same for Tara Henley in Canada.

In the end, this will hurt NPR. I predict they will continue to lose listeners and not understand why.
