NPR is facing internal and external criticism following a bombshell essay by a senior editor, who worked at the broadcaster for 25 years, accusing the publicly funded broadcaster of liberal bias and undermining former President Trump's presidency. Uri Berliner's allegations triggered a wide range of reactions, including support from figures like Ana Kasparian, who acknowledged the essay's "excellent points," and condemnation from NPR's new CEO, Katherine Maher, who called the accusations "profoundly disrespectful" and "hurtful" amid right-wing frothing. This controversy has led to NPR launching a multi-level review process to address the diversity criticisms raised. Additionally, former President Trump has called for defunding NPR in response to the allegations. The situation highlights ongoing debates about media bias and the challenges of maintaining journalistic integrity.
