I’m not saying he’s right or wrong — I don’t listen to NPR for anything other than music. But it’s funny how he’s totally not a Trumpist yet touches on every single Trumpist boogeyman like he’s marking off a bingo card. That said, every media outlet in this country has “lost trust” in the last decade. There is a full-blown war against objective truth, from both “sides,” and objective truth is losing, badly. so he lied about not voting for Trump? |

There's a Trumpist around every corner. Accompanied by structural racism.

People are digging through NPR's new CEO's old tweets, and there are some great ones.
We really due need some equity brought to flying though.
Charge people according to their ability to pay, and assign seats, including first class, business class, and lounge access, at random.

Took Folkenflik a couple of days to break this story happening under his own roof.
NPR has formally punished Uri Berliner, the senior editor who publicly argued a week ago that the network had "lost America's trust" by approaching news stories with a rigidly progressive mindset.
Berliner's five-day suspension without pay, which began last Friday, has not been previously reported.
Yet the public radio network is grappling in other ways with the fallout from Berliner's essay for the online news site The Free Press. It angered many of his colleagues, led NPR leaders to announce monthly internal reviews of the network's coverage, and gave fresh ammunition to conservative and partisan Republican critics of NPR, including former President Donald Trump.
Conservative activist Christopher Rufo is among those now targeting NPR's new chief executive, Katherine Maher, for messages she posted to social media years before joining the network. Among others, those posts include a 2020 tweet that called Trump racist and another that appeared to minimize rioting during social justice protests that year. Maher took the job at NPR last month — her first at a news organization.
In a statement Monday about the messages she had posted, Maher praised the integrity of NPR's journalists and underscored the independence of their reporting.
"In America everyone is entitled to free speech as a private citizen," she said. "What matters is NPR's work and my commitment as its CEO: public service, editorial independence, and the mission to serve all of the American public. NPR is independent, beholden to no party, and without commercial interests."

Media companies do not know how to deal with legitimate criticism.

That seems like a pretty reasonable letter to me. I won't go into any more detail than this, but I'm (secondhandedly) extremely familiar right now with what happens when someone takes a very public, very slanted shit on your body of work. I completely understand the reaction these people are having.

Media companies do not know how to deal with legitimate criticism. Collectively, journalists tend to believe their own hype as a defense mechanism. No one wants to believe that their job not only doesn't pay well, but generally isn't that special. . |

I am familiar with two groups of professionals who have been told in different ways that they are special. Only one of those groups is consistently arrogant and dismissive.

So, Berliner is telling the truth and all 50 other NPR employees are lying?

Journalists, who get people to make unauthorized public comment for a living, lamenting unauthorized public comment inside their own walls will never not be absurd
