In a scathing account from within National Public Radio (NPR), Senior Editor Uri Berliner blasted the company for open political bias and activism. Berliner, who says that he is liberal politically, wrote about how NPR went from a left-leaning media outlet to a virtual Democratic operation echoing narratives from figures like Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Cal.). The objections have long been voiced, including on this blog, but this account is coming from a long-standing and respected editor from within the company.
Beliner details how NPR, like many media outlets, became openly activist after the election of Donald Trump to the point that the company now employs 87 registered Democrats in editorial positions but not a single Republican in its Washington, DC, headquarters.
In his essay for The Free Press, Berliner notes that after Trump’s election in 2016, the most notable change was shutting down any skepticism or even curiosity about the truth of Democratic talking points in scandals like Russiagate. Berliner said that NPR “hitched our wagon” to Schiff and his now debunked claims.
Berliner says that he was rebuffed in seeking a modicum of balance in the coverage about the coronavirus “lab leak theory,” the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and the 2016 Russia hoax.
As discussed on this blog, NPR repeated false stories like the claims from the Lafayette Park riot. Berliner gives an account that is strikingly familiar for many of us who have raised the purging of conservative or libertarian voices from our faculties in higher education:
“So on May 3, 2021, I presented the findings at an all-hands editorial staff meeting. When I suggested we had a diversity problem with a score of 87 Democrats and zero Republicans, the response wasn’t hostile. It was worse. It was met with profound indifference. I got a few messages from surprised, curious colleagues. But the messages were of the “oh wow, that’s weird” variety, as if the lopsided tally was a random anomaly rather than a critical failure of our diversity North Star.
In a follow-up email exchange, a top NPR news executive told me that she had been “skewered” for bringing up diversity of thought when she arrived at NPR. So, she said, “I want to be careful how we discuss this publicly.”
For years, I have been persistent. When I believe our coverage has gone off the rails, I have written regular emails to top news leaders, sometimes even having one-on-one sessions with them. On March 10, 2022, I wrote to a top news executive about the numerous times we described the controversial education bill in Florida as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill when it didn’t even use the word gay. I pushed to set the record straight, and wrote another time to ask why we keep using that word that many Hispanics hate—Latinx. On March 31, 2022, I was invited to a managers’ meeting to present my observations”
Former NPR analyst Juan Williams stated in an interview this week that, as a strong liberal voice (now at Fox), he found the same bias at NPR. Williams was fired by NPR as this shift seemed to go into high gear toward greater intolerance for opposing views.
Despite these criticisms, NPR has doubled down on its activism. For example, when it came time to select a new CEO, NPR could have tacked to the center to address the growing criticism. Instead, the new CEO became instant news over social media postings that she deleted before the recent announcement of her selection. Katherine Maher is the former CEO of Wikipedia and sought to remove controversial postings on subjects ranging from looters to Trump. Those deleted postings included a 2018 declaration that “Donald Trump is a racist” and a variety of race-based commentary. They also included a statement that appeared to excuse looting.
NPR has abandoned core policies on neutrality as its newsroom has become more activist and strident. For example, NPR declared that it would allow employees to participate in political protests when the editors believe the causes advance the “freedom and dignity of human beings.”
The rule itself shows how impressionistic and unprofessional media has become in the woke era. NPR does not try to define what causes constitute advocacy for the “freedom and dignity of human beings.” How about climate change and environmental protection? Would it be prohibited to protest for a forest but okay if it is framed as “environmental justice”?
NPR seems to intentionally keep such questions vague while only citing such good causes as Black Lives Matter and gay rights:
“Is it OK to march in a demonstration and say, ‘Black lives matter’? What about a Pride parade? In theory, the answer today is, “Yes.” But in practice, NPR journalists will have to discuss specific decisions with their bosses, who in turn will have to ask a lot of questions.”
So the editors will have the power to choose between acceptable and unacceptable causes.
The bias seemed to snowball into a type of willful blindness in the coverage of the outlet, which is supported by federal funds.
After the New York Post first reported on Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020, NPR declared that it would not cover the story. It actually issued a statement that seemed to proudly refuse to pursue the story, which was found to be legitimate:
“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”
Berliner’s account is reminiscent of the recent disclosures from within the New York Times. Former editors have described that same open intolerance for opposing views and a refusal to balance coverage.
Former New York Times editorial page editor James Bennet has finally spoken publicly about his role in one of the most disgraceful chapters in American journalism: the Times’ cringing apology for running a 2020 column by Sen. Tom Cotton. Bennet said publisher AG Sulzberger “set me on fire and threw me in the garbage” to appease the mob.
Former New York Times editor Adam Rubenstein also wrote a lengthy essay at The Atlantic that pulled back the curtain on the newspaper and its alleged bias in its coverage. The essay follows similar pieces from former editors and writers that range from Bari Weiss to his former colleague James Bennet. The essay describes a similar work environment where even his passing reference to liking Chick-Fil-A sandwiches led to a condemnation of shocked colleagues.
None of this is likely to change the culture at NPR any more than such discussions have changed faculties in higher education. Raising the virtual elimination of conservative or Republican voices on faculties is met by the same forced expressions of disbelief. While mild concern is expressed, it is often over the “perception” of those of us who view universities as intolerant or orthodox.
Of course, there remains the question of why the public should give huge amounts of money to a media outlet that is so politically biased. News outlets have every right to pursue such political agendas, but none but NPR claim public support, including from half of the country that embraces the viewpoints that it routinely omits from its airways.
Trump’s Pivot On Abortion
Donald Trump is pragmatic in determining abortion is a loser at the ballot box. Therefore Trump has good cause to worry that state supreme court decisions in Florida and Arizona could alter the election.
Florida’s court ruled Monday that a 6 week abortion ban is constitutional. Yet the court also gave the go-ahead to a ballot initiative guaranteeing abortion in the state constitution.
These conflicting decisions are a witche’s brew for November from a Republican standpoint. If Republican women vote for the ballot initiative, will they still support Republican candidates?
Then Wednesday the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that anti-abortion legislation from the 1860’s can properly take effect.
This was too much for Donald Trump. Florida and Arizona are now hostage to women’s votes. Angry women in those two states could threaten Republicans!
So now Trump is telling Republicans to shut up on abortion. He told Lindsay Graham to shut-up by way of Truth Social. And word went out to Arizona where Kari Lake was informed.
Trump’s triangulation on this issue is sure to be noticed by Christian Conservatives. They might finally ask themselves, after all these years, if Trump was ‘ever’ serious with regards to abortion.
This moment of reflection coincides with Trump’s hush money trial in NYC now scheduled for next week. Christian Conservatives will hear Trump was seeing a porno star at the time Melania gave birth to Barron.
Will Christian Conservatives blow off this infidelity at a time when Trump is dodging abortion? Or might they now see Trump as debauched?
Trump has not pivoted.
Radical Leftists like you are not aware Trump has always been a Democrat. Its just that by 2010 the radical left took over the Democrat Party, and People like President Trump found their beliefs meant they were centrist Republicans
Sorry to say but npr has shown a bias since the 60s
NPR, National Panhandler Radio, is Left-biased propaganda . Like a sink bug, don’t feed it—eradicate it!
Agreed, and the solution is obvious. Defund it and all other news organizations receiving public funds.
They are just government funded propaganda outfits that should not exist.
For those interested in what might turn out to be the imminent onset of World War III, RT — Russia Today (which Turley troll UpstateFarmer has never heard of — LOL)— is reporting the likelihood of an Iranian response to Israel having killed a couple of Iranian generals at the Iranian Consulate in Syria:
“Iran strike on Israel ‘imminent’ – media”
https://www.rt.com/news/595715-iran-israel-imminent-strike/
This is apparently information originating at Bloomberg News, but since one needs a paid account to read Bloomberg News (because lord knows Michael Bloomberg doesn’t already have enough money), the next best thing is RT’s FREE reporting of what Bloomberg is reporting.
Why is our government made up of 100% a’h0les? Couldn’t we get maybe 5% good people? But no, with the Biden administration it’s wall to wall a’h0les. As libs like to say, no exceptions.

The Interview With Uri Berliner
Berliner gave an interview yesterday to The Free Press. And ‘yes’, he is highly critical of NPR. It sounds as though more than a few Bernie Bros are working there. But this one paragraph below underlines a fundamental problem the media has in covering Donald Trump.
***
Like many unfortunate things, the rise of advocacy took off with Donald Trump. As in many newsrooms, his election in 2016 was greeted at NPR with a mixture of disbelief, anger, and despair. (Just to note, I eagerly voted against Trump twice but felt we were obliged to cover him fairly.) But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump’s presidency.
https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust
…………………………………………
KEY PASSAGE FROM ABOVE:
“But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president..
***
How does mainstream media cover a president who routinely utters falsehoods and has no regard for facts or science?
Trump also has a habit of ‘kidding around’ at inappropriate moments. Like that press conference where he wondered out loud if injecting bleach might prevent Covid.
Then Trump doubles-down on falsehoods when any rational president would simply admit the error. Like that time he mistakenly warned that a hurricane would hit Alabama. Meteorologists at the National Weather Bureau were actually cautioned by political appointees ‘not’ to contradict.
Trump is notoriously thin-skinned and obsessed with retribution. That too becomes a problem for journalists. How can they not take notice when Trump openly threatens people on social media?
Until Donald Trump, almost every U.S. President had either been Vice President, Senator, Governor or General. And in those positions, future presidents learned how to measure their words for public consumption.
But Donald Trump’s last job before the presidency had been reality TV star. In that position, Trump routinely uttered rash statements to create vital tension. That’s what drives reality shows: tension, drama and conflict.
But tension, drama and conflict are totally undesirable with regards to the presidency. A man who keeps churning trouble out of habit is ‘last’ person the country needs as Commandeer In Chief.
Therefore mainstream has no idea how to cover a president like Trump without sounding biased against him. Because reporting Trump, as he really is, sounds naturally terrible.
REGARDING ABOVE:
You ask:
“ How does mainstream media cover a president who routinely utters falsehoods and has no regard for facts or science?”
Answer:
the same way you report on every president. They all lie, distract, gaslight. All politicians do.
It’s the job of reporters to investigate and expose those lies or half-truths, not just to publish the press releases or quotes that public figures hand out.
That is a worthy and honorable profession, if done well.
But you’re struggling with reporting “Trump, as he really is” because he “sounds naturally terrible”
that shows that you’re not reporting, you’re FEELING.
Are you going to tell me Biden doesn’t sound “naturally terrible?” I don’t know how old you are, but I’ve been watching this guy for decades. When he was younger (and better able to communicate), he was arrogant and often rude. As full of himself as Trump. Bidden’s sounded “naturally terrible” many times!
Yet no one’s wringing their hands over him—even now, when half the words he speaks are slurred.
.
^^Paid DNC troll. Ignore.
“Utters falsehoods and has no regard for facts or science?” Democrats have not told the truth about ANYTHING in at least five decades.
“In those positions, future presidents learned how to measure their words for public consumption.” Right? Because who would want to hurt Democrat feelings? I’ve never before seen a party so hate-filled, so willing to employ vitriol, so willing to continuously and blatantly lie and/ or misrepresent facts and issues, and so pathetically committed to a power entity so obviously corrupt and morally bankrupt. These are truly despicable people by any measure.
As you can plainly see, I’m not a politician either. And either is much of America’s electorate. As those raised with the, now deemed to be archaic, “truth, justice, and the American way.” (Which per DC Comics is now “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow,” or some such.) As if to break the mold of our such written-in-stone via law and constitution uniquely American concepts. To disconnect, to divorce themselves, and so enable the flexing of law and traditional, evolutionary, concepts of truth and justice, but to what purpose? Have Democrats ever made anything better?
NPR won’t tell you that AA support for Trump is surging. Not only are they sick of Bidenomics, open borders and out-of-control crime, this is heartwarming – “I don’t care what the media tells you, we support you”:

No wonder the far-right is mad at npr, if they point out the lies from the right, npr gets accused of being unfair to the liars.
The only people mad at NPR is NPR staff for one of their own, rightfully, calling them out for their lies, overt bias, wokeism and slanted reporting.
Others who might be mad at NPR, is the 10% of those employees who got laid off.
Why did they get laid off?
Plunging donations from their listeners and corporate sponsorship.
The rest of us who used to be NPR listeners quit listening for their lies, overt bias, wokeism and slanted reporting.
You must be really mad that RT tv is off the air.
Fishstick, I have no idea who or what RT TV is.
As I have stated on more than a few occasions on the good professor’s blog, I do not watch TV.
I READ, independent media or watch independent media like Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure. Or Glenn Greenwald’s System Update. Matt Taibbi’s podcasts. Or Honestly with Bari Weiss.
Your lame attempts to associate me with whatever RT TV is, fails once again. As usual.
“… I have no idea who or what RT TV is.”
LOL — Nice confession of ignorance, Captain “Well Said.” I’m quite certain that Sharyl Attkisson, Glenn Greewald, Matt Taibbi, AND Bari Weiss — whom you CLAIM to follow — know who/what RT is and have mentioned RT many times.
RT — Russia Today — has broken some pretty big stories over the years, including the May 20, 2013, article involving the Hillary Clinton Benghazi scandal involving emails between Hillary and her sleazy associate, Sidney Blumentthal:
“Hillary Clinton’s ‘hacked’ Benghazi emails: FULL RELEASE”
https://www.rt.com/usa/complete-emails-guccifer-clinton-554/
Note the date of that article — YEARS before the US media caught on to what Hillary was and wasn’t doing.
I am mad about that. I liked RT TV. One of the few places you could hear honest news.
Agreed. RT was actually better than much of our American ‘fake news’ propaganda press.
Thank you FW (F*ckWad???) for reminding me about RT TV! They may not be on the air, but they are still on the net!
Andrey Sushentsov: Americans can’t tell us who blew up Nord Stream, but they solved the Moscow terror attack case in 15 minutes?
The United States of America is trying to control and manipulate the media and political interpretation of the tragic terrorist attack in Moscow last month. In the Western information space, Washington is forming a narrative to try to distract attention from its proxy, Ukraine.
At certain points, ISIS was a useful tool for the Americans in Syria. There is published evidence suggesting that the US operated in parallel with the terrorist group against the Syrian government. The fact that Washington was ready to offer a coherent version of events from the first minutes after the attack in Moscow is in itself extremely paradoxical.
Consider this. The Americans have spent decades trying to determine the cause of crimes on their own soil, such as the assassinations of leading US political figures. They lack the resources, attention and enthusiasm to determine who was behind the sabotage of pan-European energy infrastructure: the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
However, within 15 minutes, they provided “accurate” information about who organized the terrorist attack in Moscow.

Floyd, it’s amusing to see American commies channeling Joe McCarthy, no?
Fishy de facto refers to the American Founders as “far-right.”
Everything the Founders established was conservative.
Nothing the Founders conceived and implemented was liberal.
Karl Marx conjured the Communist Manifesto 59 years after the Constitution precisely because Karl Marx opposed the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Fishy de facto possess a “far-left,” aka communist, perspective.
America, by Constitution, is an extremely conservative, restricted-vote republic, and distinctly not a one man, one vote democracy, which constitutes the “dictatorship of the proletariat.”
Fishy is a direct and mortal enemy of the American thesis of Freedom and Self-Reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, actual Americans, and America.
Turley has absolutely nothing to say about Fox paying $800,000,000 in damages to Dominion Voting Systems and admitting in court documents that they KNOWINGLY lied about the election being rigged.
“We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false,” the [Fox] statement said.
Not just simple bias by Fox. They outright lied and paid the price.

AMERICA MUST BE DONE WITH NPR
National Public Radio (NPR) is a direct and mortal enemy of the American thesis of Freedom and Self-Reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, actual Americans, and America.
NPR is a sham.
NPR is distinctly not any form or rendition of a patriotic NATIONAL radio of America.
NPR has no relationship to the American thesis of Freedom and Self-Reliance.
NPR falsely exists under and deleteriously promotes the principles of the Communist Manifesto.
Taxpayer funding for NPR is counterintuitive, preposterous, seditious, and unconstitutional.
Congress has the power to tax ONLY for debt, defense, and general Welfare (i.e. security and basic infrastructure).
Congress has no power to tax for, fund, operate, or function as a free market enterprise or any aspect or facet of the free market free press.
Governmental broadcasting and publication is brainwashing, propaganda, and indoctrination used with great effect in communist countries, and, through NPR, in America.
Congress has the power to regulate ONLY the value of money, commerce among the States to preclude bias by one over another, and land and naval Forces.
Period. Full Stop. Read it.
The Communications Act of 1934 and the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 were and remain flagrantly unconstitutional, enjoying no legal or constitutional basis while abridging and denying the 1st Amendment freedom of the press.
NPR must have been immediately struck down by the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court, five decades ago, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) earlier.
To the absent, subjective, partial, and biased communist Supreme Court, READ IT; you traitors are “adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort,” per Article 3, Section 3.

It should not be difficult for anyone to report the news, including some explanation of the positions on either side of an issue, in an unbiased manner. It becoming less of a conservative vs. liberal matter, more of whether or not to allow Americans to have enough information to form their own opinions or, in accordance with the founding fathers, allow more information to counter “misinformation.” Having conducted a number of investigations to determine how Americans communicate with each other and form opinions about political matters, Adam Schiff is definitely in the camp that believes that information should be carefully controlled by a cabal of privileged “disinformation experts,” the “beautiful people” with intelligence agency backgrounds.
The opaque, black hole nobody in journalism wants to discuss is news selection. There are no standards for how a news org selects what deserves to be covered and what ignored. Nothing is ever written down in an attempt to standardize or improve how news is prioritized. All we have a are lame aphorisms (“if it bleeds, it leads”).
There was a time when network TV news was a cost-center, and newspapers were supported by local advertising, news selection was a balanced mixture of “human interest”, crime, politics, and good-news stories, with opinion pieces clearly marked as such. It’s always been the case that there is simply way too much going on to give press coverage to — and editors, producers and execs with their teams tossed around priorities for coverage, and made the calls. Somewhere in that mix was the notion of serving the public interest — providing info that would be helpful to know and not throwaway infotainment.
All that changed with privatization of media and profit-centered news orgs. Instant audience metrics came not too long after that, which laid bare the base instincts of the audience toward instant gratification and stimulus-accretion (yep, as in an addict’s need for greater dosage over time). This lead to the current news format of alarmist sensationalism — tricking the audience into thinking their world is on the verge of collapse in order to keep their attention glued. Then, came social media, anyone-can-publish, Twitter, and fracture of the audience into liberal and conservative info-bubbles.
Under this tribalistic media cleavage, news relevance devolves into 1) that which makes the opposition look bad including grievances (many speculative) about what “they” did to “us”, and 2) that which makes “us” look good.
Only when the audience grows sick of being pandered to in this manner, and abandons the alarmist-sensationalism format and its purveyors, will things change for the better. The audience holds the power to discipline media journalism, but only after each news consumer becomes a standards-setting body guided by conscious choice, and much less a creature of consumption habit.
Well said. The “disinformation experts” are way more dangerous than the disinformation they claim to be worried about.
Whether or not NPR receives funding from the government is irrelevant. The only standards for a news organization are to tell the truth.
The truth is that Criminal Defendant Trump and his Republican minions are a clear and present danger to the Republic and indeed to democracy. They provably spread Russian propaganda and side with our enemies. Just today it was reported that Republican Rep. Ken Buck revealed that many of his republican colleagues privately refer to Marjorie Taylor Greene as “Moscow Marjorie”.
This is the truth. This is what NPR reports. Compare this with the lies and propaganda spewing out of Fox.
The truth matters, and all news organizations have an obligation to report it regardless of their source of funding.
^^ Paid DNC troll. Ignore.
What was posted that is not true?
Can you trust trump and anything he says?
trumps long time accountant is heading to jail for perjury.
Can you trust anything Biden says? Oh wait, let me rephrase that: can you trust anything Biden slurs?
As RFK Jr. said, Biden is a bigger threat to “democracy” than Trump.
Edwardmahl,
Well said.
No other president has weaponized government agencies to prosecute their political opponents more than the Biden admin.

By “white male,” you mean American, just as the American Founders meant American when they employed the phrase “…free white person…” within the year of the adoption of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The only rigorous process we have for getting to the truth is legally in Courts of Law, with adversarial conflict, strict rules of evidence, a neutral Judge forcing a timetable, punishment for perjury, and a Jury of peers as the ultimate deciders-of-fact. This system took centuries to evolve, and yes, there were many failures at justice, but this system is the best it’s ever been (despite what crybaby Trump wants you to believe).
The legal process provides truth-finding, conflict-resolution and closure in a manner that is impossible with the lesser tools of journalism and the “court of public opinion”. In that latter venue, people can lie and cover-up, and cleverness in crafting false narratives is the coin of the realm. Example: How Tony Blinken and Mike Morrell chose to cover-up Hunter’s laptop in the last 3 weeks of the 2020 campaign.
We should be expanding the ability to challenge Public Frauds, especially those waged for political advantage, through Civil torts, the same way defamation can be challenged, and the truth forced upon deceitful infowarriors.
