NPR has earned itself a reputation as a far-left outlet decades ago, but it wasn’t until veteran editor Uri Berliner penned an expose in The Free Press last week that we got a first-hand account on just how bad things really were.
As you’d expect from fake news, NPR suspended him without pay for daring to criticize them. Rather than even attempt to debunk his reporting, they further confirmed their political bias, instead blaming Berliner for giving the political right some ammunition against them.
He’s since resigned – but all eyes are now on NPR CEO Katherine Maher, and some of her resurfaced tweets prove that the hackery at NPR isn’t going away any time soon.
Back during the George Floyd riots of 2020, which killed dozens and caused billions in property damage, Maher was furious that the media would dare report on it. “CNN is talking about the tragedy of damage to iconic retail zones and shoe stores in LA,” Maher complained. “I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive. But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.”
She continued; “Also, reporting on extinguished shoe store fires is just lazy reporting…. (Also to be clear, I am not conflating provocateurs with protestors. Instead, saying this should not be the thing anyone sheds tears over. Cheesecakes are insured; the right to be black and breathe is without measure.)”
Naturally, sane people took issue with her commentary.
And as you’ll read in future articles on Maher, this somehow isn’t even her craziest stance!
