National Public Radio (NPR) has suspended its senior business editor Uri Berliner following remarks he made accusing the network of partisan reporting, particularly concerning its coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Shouldn't taxpayer funded news media be a little more objective? Even left wingers know NPR is leftist. Whether you can call it journalism should have also been asked.

The House Republicans have all but stopped their investigation into Super Joe since all their evidence and witnesses turned out to be, well, unreliable. Remember?
No, they actually haven't stopped investigating the Biden crime family. You don't know this because your sources have no interest in finding out how that family got so rich.
BTW, do you think I should be funding NPR with my tax dollars, even though it is a 100% left wing organization with 100% Democrat employees?
Before you answer, consider another scenario where the only publicly funded news organization was occupied by 100% Republican employees with a 100% conservative viewpoint. Would you really not be at least a little bit pissed off about that?

NPR editor-in-chief Edith Chapin quickly pushed back against Berliner’s characterization of the outlet, telling staff in a memo that network management “strongly disagree with Uri’s assessment of the quality of our journalism and the integrity of our newsroom processes.”
“We believe that inclusion — among our staff, with our sourcing, and in our overall coverage — is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world,” she added.
Other NPR staffers publicly rejected Berliner’s assessment in social media posts.
In his resignation letter, Berliner said he did not support calls to defund NPR and that he wants to see the audio-focused outlet thrive. But he said he could not “work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press.”
The NPR staff really is delusion when they talk about “inclusion”. There is zero diversity of thought and they think people outside of their leftist bubble are idiots. Not one penny should come out of my pocket to fund that propaganda trash.

The local branch of NPR, CPR, is having problems. Donations are down, sponsorship is down. They just fired their very popular public face, Vic Vela, who is suing them for his termination.
He is claiming they refused to accommodate his special needs because of his past drug use and STD's.
Ironic that they are being sued for not being woke enough.
To support Vic, I refuse to listen anymore. Looks like Colorado has joined my crusade.
