Longtime
National Public Radio reporter Uri Berliner has revealed in detail how the broadcaster went from being a respected American institution to an out-of-control ship fueled by ideology and steered by far-left activists.
In an article for the
Free Press titled, "I've Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here's How We Lost America's Trust," Berliner broke down what went wrong.
He began by noting that since it was founded in 1970, NPR had been able to capture the hearts and minds of Americans from all backgrounds, political persuasions, and walks of life. Even in 2011, the audience "still bore a resemblance to America at large."
That all changed, he explained, with the election of Donald Trump, when "what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a belligerent, truth-impaired president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump's presidency."
