Shocking revelations from a senior NPR editor expose the outlet’s bias against Trump, funded by the government. Dive into the candid dialogue that reveals a newsroom’s transformation into an activist agenda.

In a recent bombshell revelation, senior NPR editor Uri Berliner has brought to light concerning allegations regarding the network’s editorial stance during the Trump administration. Berliner’s candid conversation with Bari Weiss on her podcast, “The Honestly Pod,” reveals a stark transformation within NPR’s newsroom, characterized by what he describes as a “knee-jerk,” “activist,” and “scolding” approach with a clear progressive agenda. He discloses, “It was Trump’s election… we were trying to damage his presidency, to find anything we could to harm him… what we latched onto was Russia collusion.”

Berliner, a seasoned journalist with over two decades of experience at NPR and accolades such as a Peabody Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award, paints a picture of a newsroom that once embodied “open-minded, curious culture” but underwent a significant shift following Trump’s election. He laments, “I think we sort of went to sort of the story kind of disappeared. But to me, that was like a time for like, what went wrong? Why did we miss this? Like, you know, despite our feelings about Trump, this is a story we should have sort of treated differently.”

The core of Berliner’s critique revolves around NPR’s handling of stories related to Trump, particularly the Russia collusion narrative and the Hunter Biden laptop controversy.

He reveals how NPR, along with many other media outlets, relentlessly pursued the Russia collusion story despite its shaky foundations. Berliner recalls, “We were trying to damage his presidency, to find anything we could to harm him… what we latched onto was Russia collusion.”

Furthermore, Berliner highlights NPR’s reluctance to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story extensively, citing a fear of inadvertently benefiting Trump. He points out, “I think we sort of went to sort of the story kind of disappeared. But to me, that was like a time for like, what went wrong? Why did we miss this? Like, you know, despite our feelings about Trump, this is a story we should have sort of treated differently.”

Overall, Berliner’s revelations shed light on the challenges facing modern journalism, particularly in navigating political biases and maintaining editorial integrity in a polarized media landscape.
