Howard nprs awardwinning senior business editor, the uri berliner, has resigned under pressure after accusing the network of going off to leftwing activism is. He bowed out after making the case that the lurch to the left began with donald trumps election. We started covering trump in a way that, like a lot of Legacy News organizations, that we were trying to damage his presidency. Even to find anything we could to harm him. Howard during the russian collusion probe, npr echoed the Talking Points of democratic congressman adam schiff. We really latched are on to adam schiff. He was, like r our muse to the trump collusion story. We had him on constantly. Howard took aim at Catherine Mayer who became ceo recently saying i cannot work in a newsroom where i am disparageed by a new ceo whose divisive
Bias. Fox news, Roger Ailes was a person who was a Media Consultant to republican president s howard that is true. And that criticism was often raised. Absolutely. Now, the ceo [inaudible conversations] okay. Again, conflating those two issues. Howard okay. The ceo of npr, her politics are way to the left of mine, but that doesnt mean its inappropriate for her to be at the met helm of a liberal news outlet. Howard the Washington Post finally covered this, there hasnt been a word on msnbc or cnn, and the Wall Street Journal reports The New York Times is conducting an invest about leaks of israel coverage. This is going on in lots of newsrooms. Lucy, tomi, thanks so much for joining us. Up next, the media portray House Speaker Mike Johnson as barely hanging on to his job as Rewins Approval for aid to israel he wins approval for aid to israel and ukraine
Or not this jury can be impartial, yeah, we should hope people can hold in their minds of knowledge of this defendant and having opinions about him and being able to carry out their duty as jurors in a way that is fair. But if you do this both sides saying things like dont hold your breath, your setting yourself up for a situation where either way youre going to start casting doubt on these jurors and doing a thing that contributes to making them unsafe, especially if their private information is being exposed. Howard all right. Ahead, Kevin Mccarthy will be here, but when we come back, a Misdemeanor Npr Editor who says the senior Npr Editor resigns under pyre for speaking out. Under fire for speaking out. Mike had a Heart Attack a year ago. But hes still living in the red
on who you are. howard: npr is partially funded by the funded by the feds. whether you agree, lucy, wouldn t npr in a pr sense say, you know what? he raises some good questions, we re going to have some internal discussions rather than just circling the wagons in. well, npr did not fire him, and he did something that was unprecedented and very abnormal, which was to go free wheeling, sort of like self-directed, go right to a different outlet, go do a media tour trashing his employer. that is not normal. he s not a media reporter, he s not a media ombudsman. this was obviously by design. a lot of the things he s saying about npr may be correct, but this was not his beat. he s not a person whose beat is to cover npr, and certainly his beat was not to cover his own employer in a different outlet. as for the funding thing, i really want to double click on that because, look, you can take aim at the fact that a there are lots of things that are funded
views confirm the very problems at npr. tom,, so he does this devastating interview with free press, and the company suspends him without pay, says everything s fine, no need for introspection, and he resigned. i think n npr made his point perfectly. i mean, that s really the icing on the cake there. but i would say, you know, npr has been woke for a long time. i don t think anybody s shocked to hear anything that he was saying about npr. i think a lot of folks are shocked though that our tax collars are still dollars are still going to fund that organization especially when you ve got a ceo who has come out in a speech and said that the truth could possibly be as distraction, talking about white guilt and other sentiments. i think that none of us are super surprised to hear that the person running npr would be woke. but it should be an outrage whether you re on the left or the right, you shouldn t be funding something that s quite obviously liberal indoctrination at its best or wo
