curt- Not surprised at all. What it takes to be good reporter is the opposite of what it takes to be a good Republican. Reporters need to reject falsehoods and adhere to facts. Republicans reject facts and adhere to falsehoods.
It seems curt, that someone that actually knows something about the "inner workings of NPR that knows and understands them far more than either one of us for a lot longer time differs with your "opinion."
A debate about media bias has broken out at National Public Radio after a longtime employee published a scathing letter accusing the broadcaster of a “distilled worldview of a very small segment of the US population” and “telling people how to think”, prompting an impassioned defense of the station from its editor-in-chief.
In the letter published on Free Press, NPR’s senior business editor Uri Berliner claimed Americans no longer trust NPR – which is partly publicly funded – because of its lack of “viewpoint diversity” and its embrace of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Berliner wrote that “an open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America”. He acknowledged that NPR’s audience had always tilted left, but was now no longer able to make any claim to ideological neutrality.
