Uri Berliner, a seasoned business editor at National Public Radio spoke out on bias at NPR.
National Public Radio (NPR) finds itself in the spotlight after a senior editor broke ranks to expose the network’s government-funded bias and concerted efforts against former President Donald Trump.
Uri Berliner, a seasoned business editor at National Public Radio (NPR), has come forward with allegations that challenge the integrity of the news organization’s coverage during the Trump administration. In a candid conversation with Bari Weiss on her podcast, “The Honestly Pod,” Berliner dug into his observations of NPR’s transformation from a liberal-leaning entity into what he describes as a “knee-jerk,” “activist,” and “scolding” newsroom with a rigidly progressive agenda.
Berliner, who has been with NPR for over two decades and has earned accolades such as a Peabody Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award, spoke of a time when NPR embodied an “open-minded, curious culture,” despite its liberal inclinations. However, he suggested that the election of Donald Trump marked a pivotal shift. “It was Trump’s election… we were trying to damage his presidency, to find anything we could to harm him… what we latched onto was Russia collusion,” Berliner revealed.
