NPR is publicly funded which always invites the argument over whether they are evil or stupid.

Their reaction outlined here suggests they are both.

So, they have chosen... to continue to lose audience.

“It’s not by blowing the place up, by trashing your colleagues, in full view of people who don’t really care about it anyway.”

He’s right. No one is surprised by the confession that NPR is a far left news source. It’s good that Berliner blamed DEI for the biased reporting of NPR. The credibility of NPR has dropped to zero. This event is a small win for us.

This is an organization that at one time employed a former head of the DNC as its CEO. A guy named Frank Mankiewicz.

National Public Rathole. Whatever public funding they have needs to be zeroed out.

Dear President in Exile Trump: When you are back in the White House next January, PLEASE de-fund these Socialists! NO TAX DOLLARS to support their PROPAGANDA.

Sincerely,

Diana in Wisconsin

I call our local station ‘Wisconsin Pravda Radio.’ It totally fits - though the local gardening shows and ‘Chapter a Day’ are usually pretty good and politics-free. De-fund them, anyway! Let WPR hold Bake Sales to stay in business!

The firing is a confession of truth.

And very predictable. Leftists have no ability to take criticism. Their worldview is too small. And egos too fragile.

But, but, how will I listen to Classical Music, or listen to the 2 car guys. Everybody knows there isn’t any Classical Music on the internet (s).

I knew a very smart medical lady who NEVER listened to anything but NPR.

SHE WAS CLUELESS.

NPR is a curse upon this nation. These pathetic LIB nitwits need to become jobless. They have contributed to the fall of this Republic.

I find it interesting that NPR acts surprised that they are accused of being one-sided, when the very advertising that they use emphasizes how objective they are...they sound like CNN, the “most trusted name in news.”

They focus on the message they feel is most needed, but if they were objective and not slanted, they would not emphasize their fairness.

A liar will always tell you that they are a liar if you listen carefully enough.

Suspend? I’m surprised they don’t summarily execute him for dancing outside the lines.

The only thing I care about, along with I think 90 million other Americans, is that NPR survive or fail on their money NOT taxpayers.

I say this because NPR is a liberal, socialist, rag and no one being honest with themselves thinks otherwise.
