After Being Completely Exposed by Its Own Editor, NPR Responds in the Worst Possible Fashion<\/a><\/strong>
On Tuesday, a 25-year veteran of NPR who still serves as an editor at the outlet thoroughly exposed the left-wing network’s bias and its attempt to quash stories inconvenient to the Democratic Party. In a self-written article, Uri Berliner laid out multiple examples of how NPR has heavily skewed its news coverage while allowing essentially no viewpoint diversity in the newsroom.<\/p>\nSome examples Berliner gave included the “news” organization’s coverage of the COVID-19 origins, the Russian collusion hoax involving Donald Trump, and the Hunter Biden laptop story.<\/p>\n
No worries, though. I’m happy to inform you that NPR has told NPR that NPR is doing just fine. That includes a doubling down on the DEI regiment that has led the network to reduced viewership and a cratering of its credibility.<\/p>\n
NPR’s chief news executive, Edith Chapin, wrote in a memo to staff Tuesday afternoon that she and the news leadership team strongly reject Berliner’s assessment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n“We’re proud to stand behind the exceptional work that our desks and shows do to cover a wide range of challenging stories,” she wrote. “We believe that inclusion \u2014 among our staff, with our sourcing, and in our overall coverage \u2014 is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nWithout realizing it, Chapin has just admitted the primary problem with forcing “inclusion” by way of racially-based diversity quotas. Doing so does not lead to an increased range of viewpoints. Instead, because DEI is exclusively a left-wing pursuit, it leads to an overabundance of the same viewpoints in the newsroom. Far from being “critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world,” it has led to NPR having no nuance in its reporting, instead parroting whatever its far-left staffers agree on.<\/p>\n
The NPR article responding to Berliner goes on to miss the point yet again by bragging about how four out of 10 staffers are “people of color.\u201d<\/p>\n
In recent years, NPR has greatly enhanced the percentage of people of color in its workforce and its executive ranks. Four out of 10 staffers are people of color; nearly half of NPR’s leadership team identifies as Black, Asian or Latino.<\/em><\/p>\nIt’s like talking to a wall. They just can’t grasp how stocking the newsroom with DEI hires instead of hires based on actual viewpoint diversity could possibly lead to the outcome Berliner exposed in his piece.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s LIKE talking to a wall because it IS<\/strong> talking to a wall; shitlibs never listen, they only ever double down, again and again and again, no matter what. It\u2019s all they know to do, almost as if \u201csmug,\u201d \u201cstubborn,\u201d and \u201cirrational” were hard-coded in their DNA or something. Because hey, they\u2019re smarterer<\/em> than you stupid troglodytes, see. If you don\u2019t believe it, just ask ’em, they\u2019ll tell ya\u2026at excruciating length, they will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Too, too funny.
