NYT: “A yearslong push to diversify NPR’s staff, in part to lure listeners beyond its aging and predominantly white audience, hasn’t generated the listenership boost some executives had hoped for.” https://t.co/bAovXWX9Rr
GTFO! NPR boss suspected by some of being closely connected to the U.S. intel community at some point in her career. That's one way to get big scoops. 😬 https://t.co/GifEIfpash
The NYT is reporting that NPR's audience has declined by nearly one-third since 2020. Meanwhile, its employees want to double-down on racialist ideology and its new CEO finds herself ensnared in a series of troubling scandals. The squeeze is on.

NPR is a genuine insane asylum. https://t.co/JY1eINr1kr https://t.co/WrN0KrOTgj
The reason that media outlets like NPR owe their audience viewpoint diversity isn't because every outlet must keep a diverse staff. It would be nice if they did, but MSNBC and FOX can be as biased as they want b/c unlike NPR, they are not publicly funded. If you take tax…

We’ve known for a while that National PUBLIC Radio no longer represents the public. They’ve long pushed a far-Left agenda. I’m proud to cosponsor @RepRonnyJackson bill to defund NPR. https://t.co/Fq3pVodOt9 #DefundNPR
NPR made promoting DEI "…not only a moral imperative but a foundation of its business strategy." Once again we see that NPR isn’t remotely committed to unbiased coverage, but woke and weaponized propaganda. Your hardworking tax dollars should not be funding this garbage.…
NPR CEO Katherine Maher has been interested in the potential for using radio as a tool for social engineering for many years. In 2010, as @realchrisrufo found, Maher wrote an article wondering "Can a Radio Station Govern a Country?" https://t.co/VBcpqcsCYk https://t.co/PUIXKzn6xM
As a regime-change activist in the Middle East and North Africa, Katherine Maher helped spread dissent. As a regime-change activist in America, Katherine Maher used her position at Wikipedia to suppress it. It's not hypocrisy; it's friend-enemy politics. https://t.co/8GfkTvvscG https://t.co/K0X5aAwiG4

Internal documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with current and former NPR execus show how the nonprofit is struggling to succeed. It is grappling with a declining audience and falling revenue — and internal conflict about how to fix it. https://t.co/kxlb958FM3
What would be a better use of our tax money than funding @NPR?
EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher helped advance Color Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, arguing that regime-change operatives could "govern a country" by capturing radio stations. Now she has taken over NPR, bringing the Color Revolution home. https://t.co/8GfkTvvscG
NPR still has an audience of about 42 million who listen every week, many of them digitally, that is down from an estimated 60 million in 2020, according to an internal March audience report, a faster falloff than for broadcast radio https://t.co/xuQiX4ocnF
Inside the Crisis at NPR “Listeners are tuning out. Sponsorship revenue has dipped. A diversity push has generated internal turmoil. Can America’s public radio network turn things around?” https://t.co/hb23DVYEBD

Wikipedia asks for donations as if it is in urgent need of them. In fact, it has a budget of something like $250 million, about 5% of which is used keeping the website operational. The rest seems to go to Leftist-activist causes. https://t.co/zrQTDxUR44 via @KirkegaardEmil
I spoke out against funding NPR and other public media outlets because it’s absolutely absurd to think if we let government be the arbiter of all information that they won’t tip the scale. #NoPropagandaAct https://t.co/1ySUR0l116

The statement from NPR's CEO sounds a lot like "shut the heck up and just give us money." https://t.co/PKbB1GLoAl After all, NPR reviewed itself and found that it agreed with everything it said. So, why does the government fund this outlet over others? https://t.co/s1Pu7fZgn9

We all need to be more sceptical of Wikipedia. Leaked videos show former Wikimedia CEO Katherine Maher railing against objective truth. Her organisation raised hundreds of millions of dollars for woke causes. How is that impartial?, asks Andrew Orlowski https://t.co/iVjBXfURcI
The American public does not have a particularly comfortable relationship with the press and news coverage itself these days. Yes, we have some numbers of note about that. https://t.co/kGiU73um3J

As a former newspaper owner & publisher, I understand the importance of nonpartisan, balanced media coverage. Free speech is essential to our country, making it imperative that taxpayer money doesn't fund a left-wing propaganda machine like NPR. https://t.co/EOdeGaLblq
Wikipedia has become Wokepedia. Former CEO Katherine Maher managed to raise millions of dollars from Wikipedia users that’s now been diverted to ‘social justice’ causes. The elites are out of control, says Andrew Orlowski https://t.co/iVjBXfURcI
