NPR has been embroiled in controversy following allegations of bias under the leadership of its new CEO, Katherine Maher. Criticisms focus on Maher's previous statements and actions, including her defense of looting in 2020 and her perceived far-left ideological stance. These issues have sparked debates about the lack of ideological diversity within NPR, with some calling for the defunding of the taxpayer-funded organization. The situation has led to a broader discussion on the role of taxpayer funding in media and the expectations of nonpartisan reporting from publicly funded entities.

A series of social media posts by NPR CEO Katherine Maher are resurfacing as the organization continues to defend itself against accusations of bias in its reporting. https://t.co/sJrE8qeN7u
Taxpayers shouldn’t subsidize NPR’s bias https://t.co/jqs7VBwwnv via @dcexaminer Sorry to repeat, but this is important.
It's time for Republican leaders to speak out against NPR's new CEO: "Taxpayers should not be funding a pro-censorship, left-wing partisan." Put NPR in a dilemma: if they defend her, they continue to lose public trust; if they let her go, we take the win and keep moving.

Why are our tax dollars paying for @krmaher? If a private company wants to hire a left wing partisan as an Editor then so be it. But she shouldn’t be paid with taxpayer dollars. https://t.co/m7NjHN0KoV
The new CEO of unbiased @NPR is quite a character. #USA #California https://t.co/AL8hu28NGT
Check out @realchrisrufo’s tweet string about the new head of NPR. You just can’t make this up.
New NPR CEO joined the mob that was mobilizing against then-NYT editor James Bennet for publishing the Tom Cotton op-ed. This is the ideology she will bring to NPR: “Only Certain Things Considered.” https://t.co/VZ2bEMLq4e
NPR's new anti-racist and anti-capitalist CEO grew up in a town that's 96% white (it was even whiter when she was a child) and which has a median family income of about $220,000. Please file this under "Every Single Time." https://t.co/GQUJLahCLS

New NPR CEO supports race-based "reparations" https://t.co/BiIa3XPjKb
This is a subtly revealing tweet given that aspects of NPR have been taken over, and partially ruined, by an ideology that isn't *exclusively* beloved by privileged white people, but which has more support among them than any other subgroup https://t.co/0SiLCfRzX8
Ladies & Gentlemen— the newest CEO of “National Public Radio” 🤦♂️ NPR is totally neutral and not a state propaganda machine 🙄 @EndWokeness @DC_Draino @Timcast https://t.co/8WKmRwn87g
NPR is a thoroughly leftist-captured partisan political organization dedicated to deceiving the public via the manufacture and spread of leftist disinformation and propaganda, and everyone knows it. https://t.co/62VZCQIjqc
NPR’s new CEO will push Biden-Harris propaganda while being funded by American tax dollars. Defund NPR… https://t.co/YFWN4bTOG4
Problem with NPR, in a nutshell. If MAGA hat wearer became CEO, there would be an absolute uprising at NPR. I am fine with newsrooms doing that...except THIS IS PARTIALLY FUNDED BY MY TAX DOLLARS. NPR has to choose. Either be a nonpartisan, or a traditional private outlet. https://t.co/d13obTX4AB
NPR supports regime messaging https://t.co/vI5mehmc4C
Many people are currently focusing on the bias of NPR. New NPR CEO @krmaher was previously a @DFRLab fellow (a NATO cutout and leading censorship org). She is also on the board of Signal... add that one up. https://t.co/HvhRzey67u https://t.co/PMyGnspDQa

This was the new CEO of NPR on May 26, 2020: she was all worked up condemning the Central Park Karen. That was the Story of the Century that day because they hadn't heard about George Floyd yet. It's almost as if America's Establishment was just looking for a reason to go nuts. https://t.co/j16SrHjNx8
It's so wild that "hysteric white woman voice" was something you were allowed to say in 2020 on the basis of racial justice and people just shrugged their shoulders at the rancid misogyny in a statement like that This woman is CEO of National Public Radio now lol https://t.co/vrAvQqgI9d

In 2020 @krmaher said it was “hard to be mad at looting.” In 2016 she said she wished Hillary “wouldn’t use the language boys and girls.” Now she’s heading up taxpayer-funded out-of-touch @NPR 🫢 Shocked? Me either. https://t.co/CnhrouJd2g
This is the new head of @NPR. Unless this racist pronouncement is a joke tweet, it seems likely that NPR's decline is set to continue. https://t.co/T5z8wfQD2k

NPR CEO @krmaher has been exposed as a far-left ideologue with an agenda of biased news. NPR has shifted hard to the left, using taxpayer funds to mainstream leftist propaganda. Last year, an NPR affiliate journalist was convicted for firebombing police. https://t.co/9h86QK0t3q

This is the new CEO and President of NPR. After seeing her old tweets, I'm starting to think she's just an AI chatbot. They must be trolling us, right? Right? https://t.co/XXSzT7HitZ
NPR legit hired the most NPR person possible to run the organization. I’ve never heard of “cis white mobility privilege,” but I guess I have it too. No American taxpayer dollar, direct or indirect, should come anywhere near this place ever again. https://t.co/jv2a4OD8Zw
The new head of @NPR has pronouns in her bio. Does this make you believe her more or less when she claims she’s committed to having ideological diversity in NPR’s programming?
From the Editorial Board: Liberal bias at NPR, old-school journalism and the reluctance to admit a mistake. https://t.co/TPvl6s4Zi5
Former head of Wikipedia, now head of NPR, justified some of the worst looting in U.S. history. What appalling, ideologically-driven lack of judgment. And some wonder why Wikipedia doesn’t fix its bias problem. https://t.co/9sJIaJkjOQ

"We fulfill our mission best when we look and sound like the country we serve." So said NPR president/CEO Katherine Maher, re: scathing NPR vet Uri Berliner criticism of NPR wokeness. Yet she NEVER addresses substance of criticism: ideological monotony. IOW, the same damn thing…

The CEO of NPR defended looting in 2020. It is no wonder she is critical of an employee who points out that 100% of NPR reporters are Democrats. https://t.co/AYxWiBic2T https://t.co/nCvjfgKbVx
NPR's new CEO was literally the crazy left-wing troll on Twitter back in 2020 screeching about insurance covering the buildings burned down by rioters.
