NPR editor-in-chief Uri Berliner resigned from his post on Wednesday after being suspended for attacking the network’s biased coverage.
National Public Radio (NPR) is a liberal organization that pushes propaganda and does not allow dissenting opinions.
Berliner, in an explosive interview with journalist Bari Weiss on her podcast “Honestly,” criticized the organization’s editorial standards, saying they were skewed against President Trump.
In the interview, Berliner expressed his concerns about the network’s journalistic integrity, highlighting the disparate treatment of news stories depending on their political implications:
“Here was a president who, you know, I believed was belligerent and misinformed and not a good person by any standard of decency. But I think we’ve developed a different standard of coverage for Trump than for any other politician. And I think this has led us to serious problems in our coverage. I mean, one of them wasn’t so much about Trump, but related to Trump was Hunter Biden’s laptop where, you know, one of our top news managers when the post ran this explosive story said, we’re not going to talk about this.
Berliner also wrote an essay for the online newspaper The Free Press, titled “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. This is how we lost America’s trust.”
Berliner resigned but praised NPR in his resignation letter.
“I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years. I do not support calls to cut funding to NPR,” Berliner said in his resignation letter.
