NPR whistleblower Uri Berliner, who penned a bombshell expose on the woke one-sidedness of the “public” radio network’s news product, knocked new NPR CEO Katherine Maher for failing to show for Wednesday’s House hearing on the leftist bias of her new employer. She claimed she had a Board of Directors meeting all day.
Instead, Maher submitted written testimony NPR is “bringing trusted, reliable, independent news and information of the highest editorial standards” to tens of millions of listeners. Eli Lake at The Free Press, which ran Berliner’s piece, talked to Berliner about the no-show.
“Why isn’t she there? Is she the right person for the job at this time?” he asked, adding that her written statement “sounds like a pledge drive.” This question could be turned around on Berliner, who surely was invited to testify by the House Republicans.
