Republicans are moving to block taxpayer funds from being allocated to National Public Radio (NPR) amid growing concerns about the network’s left-wing bias.
As Slay News reported, it emerged on Tuesday that NPR has suspended a veteran editor who blew the whistle about the outlet’s leftist culture.
Uri Berliner exposed the left-wing bias at the taxpayer-funded outlet during a public rebuke of the organization last week.
Berliner’s five-day suspension without pay began on Friday, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik reported.
As Slay News reported, Berliner penned a bombshell piece in the Free Press that criticized NPR’s coverage of the Russiagate Hoax, the Covid lab leak theory, Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop, severe anti-Trump bias among staff, and the embrace of the far-left theory of “systemic racism.”
He also accused the organization of downplaying antisemitism following October 7.
Berliner also wrote that registration records in 2021 showed an astonishing disparity between Democrats and Republicans in the NPR newsroom.
He said writers refused to report on stories they felt would “help” President Donald Trump, among other things.
The senior NPR business editor said he made several attempts to relay his concerns before publishing his whistleblowing essay in the Free Press, but the organization’s leadership didn’t hear them.
