UPDATE: NPR Whistleblower Announces RESIGNATION From Outlet—Read His Statement Here


In a surprise turn of events, Uri Berliner, the veteran journalist who blew the whistle on NPR last week, has announced his resignation from the legacy media outlet.

His resignation follows NPR’s CEO suspending Berliner for a week, without pay, after his seismic independent op-ed appeared in The Free Press.

The thing about Berliner is that he’s 100% correct—he hit the nail on the head with his op-ed piece.

One only needs to look at NPR’s sharply declining traffic to agree with what Berliner is saying. No matter our political stripes, there is only one true color in the end: green.

NPR’s overwhelming bias and fringe activism have cost the outlet scores of readers—whatever it is they’re selling, Americans don’t want it. Here’s Berliner’s resignation letter to CEO Katherine Maher:

Berliner wrote in The Free Press:

Conflicts between workers and bosses, between labor and management, are common in workplaces. NPR has had its share.

But what’s notable is the extent to which people at every level of NPR have comfortably coalesced around the progressive worldview.

And this, I believe, is the most damaging development at NPR: the absence of viewpoint diversity.

Meanwhile, at NPR, the current CEO who suspended Berliner without pay was exposed by intellectual and anti-communist activist Christopher F. Rufo.

“Katherine Maher says the “the number one challenge” in her fight against disinformation is “the First Amendment in the United States,” which makes it “a little bit tricky” to censor “bad information” and “the influence peddlers” who spread it. NPR’s censor-in-chief,” Rufo stated.

Daily Mail provided this statement from NPR CEO Katherine Maher:

Maher insisted in a statement that the company remains committed to ‘serving all of the American public.’

‘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 said.
