i watched part of this woman's congressional hearings and was appalled that the source of my 'news' until about 1999, or there about was as stupid and arrogant as she appeared. nancy pelosi radio is about as antifa as you can get and i no longer pay any attention to any thing they call 'news'. i do still enjoy their 'entertainment' sections sometimes. once upon a time npr was clearly as neutral as humanly possible but now i yell at the radio when at that station;
The New York Times reports that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) called on National Public Radio (NPR) CEO Katherine Maher to resign before all federal funding for both the CPB and NPR was cut off. As in the past, Maher and the NPR board chose their own agendas over the interests of their institution and public radio.
Instead, the board selected Katherine Maher, a former Wikipedia CEO widely criticized for her highly partisan and controversial public statements.
She was the personification of advocacy journalism, even declaring that the First Amendment is the “number one challenge” that makes it “tricky” to censor or “modify” content as she would like.
Maher has supported “deplatforming” anyone she deems to be “fascists” and even suggested that she might support “punching Nazis.”
She also declared that “our reverence for the truth might be a distraction [in] getting things done.”
As expected, the bias at NPR only got worse. The leadership even changed a longstanding rule barring journalists from joining political protests...........more..........
