NPR CEO Katherine Maher was grilled by Congress this past week about NPR’s bias, and it did not go well, to say the least.
Part of it went viral because it was a masterclass in how to grill a liberal from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX). Maher insisted that NPR was non-partisan and unbiased. She even claimed she’d never seen any evidence of bias in editorial decisions, a completely laughable claim. But then Gill hit her with her own past tweets.
She was caught between a rock and a hard place, claiming she couldn’t remember any of the bad things she had tweeted. All she could say was her thinking had evolved as he grilled her over her tweets. She said she couldn’t remember the leftist books she had said she read, like the book on reparations that she tweeted was so important. That was the funniest part. She came off looking completely ridiculous.
