NPR Editor Who Exposed Far-Left Bias Suspended Without Pay.

National Public Radio (NPR) has suspended veteran editor Uri Berliner after he published a scathing criticism of the news organization in The Free Press last week. Berliner’s commentary contented that NPR had abandoned any pretense of objective journalism and instead had become a willing mouthpiece for partisan propaganda pushed by the likes of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).

The news organization‘s executives suspended Berliner without pay for five days on Friday. They contended that his opinion editorial at The Free Press contravened company rules regarding contributions to external media outlets. NPR requires its journalists to receive company leadership approval before publishing content at a rival media outlet.

The veteran NPR editor’s revelations of rampant partisan political bias in news coverage have thrown the company into disarray, especially as additional scrutiny now mounts against the outlet’s new CEO, Katherine Maher. Appointed in March, Maher has led the taxpayer-funded broadcaster’s pushback against Berliner.

“Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning,” she complained. The National Pulse has detailed several instances where Maher has demonstrated extreme left-wing bias herself, including posting anti-Donald Trump diatribes while serving as an executive at Wikimedia. Maher also claimed it would be unfair for her to leave the U.S. when Trump was elected President as she would be using her “cis white mobility privilege.”

NPR issued a “final warning” to Berliner in a memo, informing the editor that further policy breaches would result in his dismissal. Berliner’s former colleagues believe the veteran editor’s days are numbered at the taxpayer-funded news outlet. “It seems to me that it would be very difficult for him now at NPR,” one individual told Fox News.

WATCH: Joy Reid Says ‘Go DEI!’ – Admits Diversity Hires Are Behind Trump Persecution.

MSNBC host Joy Reid has had another diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) moment. The DEI-obsessed anchor admitted: “For me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact that the first person to criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad. And a black woman is doing the same exact thing in Georgia. And a black woman forced you to pay a $175 million dollar fine.

She concluded: “Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home.”

Reid has previously said that “DEI” is a modern variation of the “n-word.”

Reid is most famed for pretending her Twitter account was hacked, to get out of posting anti-gay tweets. She also once claimed the ‘538’ website was named for Al Gore’s loss.

ANOTHER Media Firm Losing Cash, May Fold.

The Intercept, a far-left news outlet, is reportedly losing around $300,000 a month now it has been cut off by leftist billionaire Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar, an Iranian-American born in France, has funded many leftist projects, most notably the government-tied Misinformation Reporting Portal (MiRP) used to censor conservatives online.

He spun off The Intercept from his First Look Media organization in 2022 with a grant of $14 million to help it strike out on its own. However, much of that funding appears to have been squandered, and the news site is projected to be out of cash by 2025.

The struggling outlet has managed to mobilize its audience to set records for small-dollar donations since the Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7, 2023, adopting a strong anti-Israel stance that has pleased readers but further alienated “traditional funders,” according to chief executive Annie Chabel.

The Intercept often attacks the Biden regime and the Democratic Party in general, particularly on foreign policy, which has proved unpopular with liberal donors who fear “infighting” could help Donald Trump return to power.

Some of its leading figures, such as founder Glenn Greenwald, have also left the organization on bad terms, alleging it was actually censoring criticism of Joe Biden.

The Intercept’s editorial union is at odds with Chabel, saying she has “failed” to fundraise, creating further tensions within the organization.

New NPR CEO Has One of the Wildest Anti-White Racist Social Media Histories You Could Imagine.

Katherine Maher, the President and CEO of National Public Radio (NPR), has a long history of politically partisan and anti-white posts on X, formerly Twitter.

Appointed in March, Maher has led the taxpayer-funded broadcaster’s fightback against Uri Berliner, a senior editor at NPR who exposed its bias and obsession with woke objectives such as “identifying and ending systemic racism.”

“Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning,” she complained.

However, this intervention by Maher, the daughter of a Democrat state senator and a Goldman Sachs banking executive, has only drawn attention to her partisanship.

As a senior and eventually chief executive at Wikimedia, she regularly posted diatribes against Donald Trump, writing “Christ, what an asshole” when the then-President was responding to a natural disaster in 2017 and branding his administration “on the wrong side of history” in 2018, for example.

She is also an anti-white racist. In 2020, she suggested she would not leave the U.S. to escape Trump’s “tyranny” because it would be an unfair use of her “cis white mobility privilege.” The same year, she said she had been “taught” to use a “hysteric white woman voice” to get her way. She also argued that looting, while “counterproductive,” was an understandable response to “a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.”

X owner Elon Musk was among those who expressed disapproval of Maher’s post history, calling her a “crazy racist.”

Maher is also a gender ideologue but has still had to apologize for “trans-erasure” and “binary language” for using insufficiently woke phraseology while advertising her progressivism.

REVEALED: MeidasTouch Contributor Is Ex-GOP Rep. and Jan 6 Committee Collaborator with Taste for ‘Bigfoot Erotica.’

MeidasTouch, the far-left news organization responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, boasts former Republican legislator Denver Riggleman as a contributor. Riggleman previously won plaudits from the left for collaborating with the Democrat-dominated January 6 Committee, which employed him as a senior staffer.

Riggleman began his transformation into an anti-America First crusader after local party officials censured him for failing to oppose “out-of-control spending” or mass migration in Congress. He was also criticized for failing to support “traditional family values, and other conservative principles,” and in particular for officiating a homosexual wedding for two of his staffers. This helped precipitate a successful primary challenge by now-Rep. Bob Good in 2020.

Described as an “intel expert” on his MeidasTouch profile, Riggleman was best known as a comic figure prior to the aforementioned controversies, with his 2018 election campaign marred by revelations concerning his penchant for “Bigfoot erotica.”

Democrat opponent Leslie Cockburn unearthed social media posts by Riggleman featuring Bigfoot or Riggleman himself as Bigfoot with oversized genitals for a fictitious book about the cryptid’s “mating habits.”

Riggleman self-published at least two tomes on Bigfoot titled Bigfoot Exterminators, Inc. and Bigfoot… It’s Complicated. Cockburn claims she has read a third Riggleman book on Bigfoot titled Bigfoot Assassins, featuring a “key plot point about witches and menstrual blood.”

Bigfoot… It’s Complicated, published after Riggleman’s election, is “absolutely jam-packed with Bigfoot sex,” according to reviewers, with its very first chapter being titled, ‘A Discussion on Simian Genitalia.’

Riggleman claims in the book that he does not personally “dabble in monster porn,” though he plaintively asks: “How could someone kink-shame those gentle souls who take delight in the soulful, passionate moan of Sasquatch?”

MeidasTouch involves many unpleasant characters, including ‘Coach D,’ who believes America’s Founders were all white supremacist racist pedophiles.

The New York Times Has a Leaker Problem…

Senior leadership at the New York Times has finally had enough of being pushed around by newsroom employees. The paper has tasked editor Charlotte Behrendt with examining allegations that staff has leaked sensitive story details ahead of publication to rival outlets to damage the paper’s reporting, especially regarding the Israeli war against the Hamas terrorist group.

“The idea that someone dips into that process in the middle, and finds something that they considered might be interesting or damaging to the story under way, and then provides that to people outside, felt to me and my colleagues like a breakdown in the sort of trust and collaboration that’s necessary in the editorial process,” the paper’s executive editor, Joe Kahn, said in an interview. He added: “I haven’t seen that happen before.”

ISRAEL COVERAGE SPARKS BACKLASH.

Coverage of the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against Israel has been a point of particular contention among reporters and other newsroom staff. Despite the New York Times‘s reporters assigned to cover the ongoing conflict having found reasonably conclusive evidence that Hamas engaged in rape and other forms of sexual violence against Israeli citizens, other newsroom staff have either tried to deny the assault happened or have complained the team hasn’t done more to cover Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza.

In an incident that pushed senior executives at the paper to have Behrendt begin investigating their news staff, sensitive details about the violent acts of the Hamas terrorists on October 7 — which were set to be revealed on a New York Times podcast — were leaked to a competing outlet before the podcast aired.

THE TOM COTTON INCIDENT.

The internal backlash over coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict has sparked concerns among senior staff at the paper that their newsroom has become too focused on activism and not news coverage — resulting in a breakdown of trust. However, this was a problem long before the October 7 terrorist attacks. The activist employees pushed out Editorial Page Editor James Bennet after he greenlit an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) calling on the government to deploy the National Guard in response to the George Floyd and BLM riots.

FOLLOW THE FACTS.

For his part, Kahn stressed that he believes the paper is becoming less biased — despite his reservations about some of the younger members in the newsroom. During a recent event with The Wall Street Journal, he stressed that the paper — in his opinion — has been relatively balanced in its coverage of President Biden. Specifically, he noted their coverage of concerns regarding the 81-year-old president’s age — despite objections from some younger staff who feared it might hurt Biden’s re-election efforts. “What you do is you pursue every story, you follow the facts and you give readers the information they need to make intelligent decisions,’ Kahn said.

GOP Rep Says ‘Wall Street Journal Captured By Left.’

During a Congressional hearing on Thursday with former CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge, Congressman Dan Bishop (R-NC) raised concerns about left-wing political bias within American corporate media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal. “My observation — and I’m a Republican, so it’s partisan I guess in part — but I think you look at the stats, I would suggest the American people see it this way, CBS News is among the corporate behemoth media outlets, all of which seem to be captured by one side of the American political spectrum,” the North Carolina Republican said.

Bishop added, “You’ve worked for one of those. Maybe Fox News one on the other side, but CBS, NBC, Wall Street Journal…” At this point, the Congressman paused, appearing to consider his statement before continuing, “Well, largely, yes. Washington Post, New York Times, all of the big media seems to be captured by one side,” he concluded.

Responding, Herridge stressed the need for ideological diversity in America’s newsrooms. “I worked at ABC News, I worked at Fox News, and I worked at CBS News, and I brought the same approach at every place that I worked, which is that it’s about accountability journalism on the left and on the right and representing diverse points of view,” the former CBS reporter said.

While viewed ostensibly as a conservative-leaning publication, The Wall Street Journal has come under fire for being overly hostile to former President Donald Trump — including its uncritical coverage of the debunked Steele Dossier. The Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper has also been criticized for publishing Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

Biden WH Pressured ‘Fact Checker’ Snopes to Change Ratings.

According to internal communications, officials from the Joe Biden regime successfully pressured the fact-checking website Snopes to change its rating on a fact check regarding a prospective federal ban on gas stoves.

“Sent over tough letter to this writer yesterday when the initial claim was rated as ‘mixed,'” Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) communications director Pamela Rucker Springs bragged in an email to White House assistant press secretary Michael Kikukawa, linking to an updated fact check. Kikukawa responded, saying the change was “so helpful.”

Initially, Snopes had issued a “mixture” rating on claims the Biden regime was contemplating a ban on gas-powered stoves, influenced by statements by Richard Trumka Jr., a member CPSC.

Trumka Jr. had said such a ban was “on the table,” and the CPSC was weighing regulations “drastically reducing emissions or banning gas stoves entirely.”

However, Snopes downplayed Trumka Jr.’s pronouncements and changed its fact check rating to “false” after Biden regime officials leaned on them, asserting the CPSC is “not currently considering a ban on gas stoves.”

Watchdog group the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) laid bare the process by which the regime arranged the changes by securing emails between CPSC and White House communications officials.

“A commissioner appointed by President Biden wanted to ban gas stoves, and he got caught, provoking a public outcry,” commented FGI spokesman Peter McGinnis.

“So, the CPSC staff leaned on Snopes, seeking to counter the narrative… And the White House finds this ‘helpful.’ Helpful with what?” he questioned.

“This goes beyond dysfunction — the government using sympathetic media to censor inconvenient news.”

‘Not One Dollar!’ Trump Vows No More Funding for NPR After Editor Reveals Ingrained Bias.

Donald Trump has called for NPR to be defunded after Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at the state-funded broadcaster, revealed how anti-Trump bias and woke ideology have skewed its news coverage in recent years.

Berliner revealed that NPR journalists actively worked towards damaging or toppling Trump’s presidency, aligning themselves heavily with Representative Adam Schiff and the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory while burying news of Hunter Biden’s  “laptop from hell.”

“NO MORE FUNDING FOR NPR, A TOTAL SCAM!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“EDITOR SAID THEY HAVE NO REPUBLICANS, AND IS ONLY USED TO ‘DAMAGE TRUMP.’ THEY ARE A LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE,” he continued, adding: “NOT ONE DOLLAR!!!”

Berliner revealed that NPR was quick to dismiss the “lab leak” theory of Covid’s origins. He also revealed that staff were tasked with “identifying and ending systemic racism” — a woke conspiracy theory that holds ethnic minorities are being systematically oppressed in society to benefit white people.

NPR receives tens of millions of dollars in public funding, much of which is routed indirectly through local radio stations.

Media Continues to Peddle Federal Abortion Ban Conspiracies Despite Unequivocal Trump Statement.

The corporate media is continuing to peddle falsehoods aimed at riling up abortion activists in an attempt to swing November elections for Democrats, with a new article in the Washington Post claiming the practice could be banned at the federal level under a second Trump term, despite the 45th President making an unequivocal federalist argument just days ago.

In his initial statement on abortion, Trump confirmed his personal support for exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is at risk. He also expressed his belief that, constitutionally, the issue should be decided according to “the will of the people” on a state-by-state basis.

“People forget, fighting Roe v. Wade was, right from the beginning, all about bringing the Issue back to the States, pursuant to the 10th Amendment and States’ Rights. It wasn’t about anything else,” he wrote.

“We had a Great Victory, it’s back in the States where it belongs, and where everyone wanted it. The States will be making the decision,” he added.

“Republicans are now free to run for Office based on the Horrible Border, Inflation, Bad Economy, and the Death & Destruction of our Country!”

Trump has frequently stressed people must follow “their heart” on abortion. However, he has warned conservatives that they must “win elections” to have any positive impact on the country at all.

Pushing for total or near-total bans on abortion, which does not enjoy broad public support, is likely to frustrate this larger goal, according to most polling.
