NPR CEO Criticized for Liberal Tweets
The Spin
Conservative narrative
While conservatives have long known that NPR is essentially a publicly funded mouthpiece of the Democratic Party, it's refreshing to see the outlet's CEO get exposed for her overt left-wing bias. Uri Berliner's scathing essay added credence to accusations of NPR's bias, and Katherine Maher's hyper-partisan tweets only confirm that she, like many corporate media executives, is a rabid leftist. While most outlets abhor free speech rights and journalistic integrity, NPR is the worst offender because it receives taxpayer funding.
Progressive narrative
Like any outlet, NPR isn't perfect. However, Uri Berliner's essay was a cheap shot at his employer of 25 years that did very little to improve journalistic standards. It's obvious that the scorned editor had a gripe with Katherine Maher, and he was just waiting to launch his attack. Regardless, NPR's staff stands behind its leader and will work to provide the best coverage possible. Meanwhile, Berliner is trying to set himself up as the next big right-wing talk show host.
