NPR Employs 87 Democrats in Editorial Positions

Taxpayer funded National Public Radio apparently is extremely prejudicial when it comes to their editorial department.

NPR Senior Editor Uri Berliner says they have 87 Democrats and 0 Republicans in their Washington DC newsroom!!!

So much for impartial balanced government spending 😀

Wonder who is directing all the political slanted reporting and from WHERE !!!!

He also says NPR is having "2nd Thoughts" about their general reporting of "Russiagate" and propping-up of Adam Schiff!! 😯

Senior Editor: NPR Employs 87 Democrats in Editorial Positions, 0 Republicans in DC Newsroom

Far-left National Public Radio (NPR) employs 87 registered Democrats in editorial positions but zero Republicans in the same positions in its Washington, DC, headquarters, NPR Senior Editor Uri Berliner wrote Tuesday.

Berliner, who admittedly leans left, wrote a scathing article about NPR’s illiberal newsroom, slamming the taxpayer-funded network for refusing to address “a diversity problem” within the office.

 

Senior NPR Editor Admits RussiaGate Was a ‘Swing and a Miss’, Expresses Regret over Hitching Wagon to Schiff

Senior NPR business editor Uri Berliner admitted in an explosive op-ed published Tuesday that the public radio station’s RussiaGate reporting was a bust, and that it did not fess up to that after no “Russian collusion” was found between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Furthermore, Berliner admitted that then-California Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) became the news outlet’s “guiding hand” in this fruitless endeavor, and expressed regret in hitching its wagon to him. Schiff was the main pusher of the Russia collusion hoax in Congress and had repeatedly insisted there was “circumstantial evidence” of collusion.

Not surprised it's true, but surprised it is reported.

My thought on his op Ed is they know Biden is in trouble. They need to make the appearance of impartial reporting because they fear Trump's wrath when he is reelected.

This is just for show.

Besides, the man is a senior editor... I am sure he hired some of them.

not surprising, NPR has always been just left of of center.

there opinion pieces are usually loaded with left leaning emotionally loaded headlines, but their news is more unbiased even if they do use left leaning sources, and their factual reporting and credibility is fairly high.

been that way for as long as i can remember.

My thing with NPR is all the pieces on how people "feel".

In this reality, things are or they aren't. ...no middle ground. When you drag feelings and tug on heart strings, you are taking away the ability to reason and use logic.

Which, of course, is what the left wants.

If the majority took feelings out of the discussion, the left wouldn't have a leg to stand on. They don't use logic, they don't think, they feel.

And that is why this world is upside down.

NPR and PBS cherry pick stories and use high impact propaganda. The "Neutral" reporting is not high impact. All a clever illusion to keep the taxpayer funding flowing.

a reply to: BernnieJGato

"More unbiased" Sure is a fancy way of saying biased.

a reply to: xuenchen

i pay very little attention to opinion pieces, but i do like my news to be straight forward with nothing added or taken away.
and that is exactly what they have been doing since 1971.

in the beginning yes the majority of their funding came from the feds. now NPR get's most of it's funding 70% from individuals donations, corporate sponsors, programing fees.



above chart from here,

NPR Revenues NPR is an independent, non-profit media organization. We are also a membership organization of separately licensed and operated public radio stations across the United States.

NPR's two largest revenue sources are corporate sponsorships and fees paid by NPR Member organizations to support a suite of programs, tools, and services. Other sources of revenue include institutional grants, individual contributions and fees paid by users of the Public Radio Satellite System (PRSS; i.e. Satellite interconnection and distribution).
Public Radio Finances

now NPR only gets 1% of it's funding from the Feds, and all to together from feds, state, and local governments 10%. at the bottom of the link is their donor list and form 990 filing information. their pretty open about where the funding comes from.

NPR’s funding has been a point of controversy since its founding in 1970. NPR is officially a private company, but up until 1983, it received over half of its funding from the federal government through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). In that year, NPR nearly went bankrupt after years of financial mismanagement, and in the subsequent restructuring process, the organization was put under tighter controls by the CPB in exchange for loans. From the late 1980s, NPR generated increasing amounts of its revenue from charitable donations and licensing fees, though a significant portion of the fees come from private local stations which receive funding from CPB and state and local governments. Presently, NPR receives funding for less than 1% of its budget directly from the federal government, but receives almost 10% of its budget from federal, state, and local governments indirectly. 2
Non-profit National Public Radio (NPR)

Way past time to eliminate all tax payer funding for npr and PBS. If the libs want an echo chamber safe place to preach to their choir, they can pony up and pay for it themselves.
Hopefully Trump gives them the ax for good.

Excellent. Then they won't miss the loss of taxpayer funding at all.
Slash it.

NPR Editor: Hunter Biden Laptop Revealed ‘Connection to the Corrupt World of Multimillion-Dollar Influence Peddling’

Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at NPR, admitted in a stunning op-ed published Tuesday that despite his outlet turning a “blind eye” to the Hunter Biden laptop story, the laptop was indeed newsworthy and that it revealed a “connection to the corrupt world of influence peddling.”

Berliner also admitted that when it became known that the laptop was indeed real — and not Russian disinformation as 51 former intelligence officials had claimed, NPR did not fess up to its “misjudgment.”


Berliner also slammed his own outlet, saying that when the reporting and laptop were confirmed as real, NPR did not admit it.

So, they get 10% of their budget from our tax dollars. Thanks for proving a good chunk of change is tax payer funded.

My feeling is that NPR doesn't always lie but they try super hard to manipulate you.

One way of doing this is by how every few minutes you hear some story about race, or gender, or homosexuality, or some poor migrant that you supposed to feel sorry for. They play the sympathy card a lot.

The smug hosts. They all seem like they are snooty rich people. They all just seem like someones mom scolding and correcting you.

And the music. Their stories often have some sort of strange slow music designed to make the listener feel smart. Like they're really thoughtful and intelligent. It's like "I believe in science" music.

And yet you take the time to post your feelings here.

10 percent is actually kinda nothing there's no doubt in my mind that if they were to loose that 10% they could make it up fairly quick in the environment that is wokeism and the way they run their businesses now. it kinda like people taking advantage of tax loop holes, grants and other thing if it's there, and you can qualify most will take it.

just about all the lame stream media does that in some form or another, and some more than others on both sides.

i always try to stick to just left, center, and just right sources they tend to be more straight forward and play less on the feelz, although that can be kinda tuff at times depending on what the outrage of the day is.

the two lame stream media outlets i absolutely don't pay any attention to is abc and msnbc they are worse than the super market tabloids, which believe it or not get more right than they do.

So, the NPR has been the mouthpiece of the deceiver and is regretting it. Maybe they are finally seeing what has evolved from their actions.

But of course, one person cannot do much to control all the others that follow the ones pushing all the BS.

I think we need two new candidates for president, not that Trump is a bad person, but just that the lies and twisted BS from some major Democrats has driven him a little crazy. Of course, Biden is right in middle of spreading perception, he believes that everyone who is a Democrat is automatically going to believe his BS...you can see that from the smirk on his face. I guess he is right though, the Democrats are having a hard time believing the truth now, their ability to reason properly to evaluate things properly is tied right to their belief in the ongoing deception being spread. Funny how easy it is to brainwash so many people in America these days. It is happening on both sides but by far more Democrats cannot see that the direction this administration is leading them towards is not reasonable.

In other bombshell news, Breitbart employs mostly religious conservatives.

NPR used to be "most liberal", but now they are closer to center than CNN, Slate, Huff Post, New Yorker, The Atlantic, and MSNBC, and playing polarization keep up.

But this is will always be NPR to me:





I used it as ASMR until that became a thing.

NPR is pure taxpayer funded garbage.
Here’s a little story which sheds more light on the subject……

This article -- by a liberal long employed at NPR -- describes what happened in most media outlets since Trump's election: they explicitly renounced any journalistic function in favor of becoming political activists in defense of what they see as a greater cause than journalism:
Read this….., twitter.com...

I'm betting NPR has some FBI/CIA plants to steer it, handlers and assets etc.

Their (NPR's) playbook reads exactly like a steering operation just like what the FBI did with the 100 percent fabricated Russiagate garbage..Mental programming through precision crafted propaganda.
