When it comes to NPR, Washington Post media reporter Scott Nover is a publicist, not a journalist. His interview with "bright-eyed" NPR CEO Katherine Maher was (to borrow from MASH) "bathed in the glow of utter servility." On top of that, the Post photographer took a picture of immaculately dressed and coiffed Katherine in the Tiny Desk studio for maximum fanboy action.
The theme of the piece is that NPR stations will be fine after the defunding, and that somehow, Republicans had no reason to defund it. Bias? What bias? Every time Maher says this, she looks ridiculous. And liberals accept this con job every time.
NPR is not “partisan,” she said, and has no “affinity for one party or one perspective over the other,” characterizing the organization as ideological only in that it supports “democracy and the Constitution and the role of the press and the right of every citizen to seek and receive information.” And in terms of aptly representing the “cultural conversations” across the country, she said, “There’s always work for us to do there.”
How stupid do they think we are? "We have no ideology but Democracy and the Constitution!" Every day, in nearly every hour of NPR programming they are channeling leftist thoughts, leftist dreams, and leftist groups and agitators.
Maher has claimed she's never found any bias on NPR since she signed up, but she claims it's "unrealistic" to expect NPR to serve everyone (especially conservatives).
“I also recognize that a sort of double-edged sword of all of this in terms of the criticism and accusations around federal funding requiring us to walk a line that may not even exist around perfect representation of the nation,” Maher said. “In all truthfulness, I think to ask any news or media organization to comprehensively serve all 330 million citizens of this nation, to feel as though we’ve got it right every single time is also an unrealistic request.”
Everyone should know that NPR is getting a surge in donations from who? Leftists. A quote from Louisville Public Media CEO Kenya Young touted "rage giving," accurately comparing public radio to leftist groups.
She said public media found itself benefiting from “rage giving” — the phenomenon where advocacy organizations see donation surges when their missions are threatened, citing the ACLU and Planned Parenthood as examples. “We have finally found ourselves in that space because something was taken away from us that traditionally had been so supported with bipartisan support and that has served 99 percent of America.”
Then she ruined it by claiming NPR has served "99 percent of America," but if that was true, defunding would have been impossible.
