NPR Whistleblower Uri Berliner Resigns

Veteran NPR editor-turned-whistleblower Uri Berliner resigned from the outlet on Wednesday. Berliner posted his resignation letter on X, tagging CEO Katherine Maher:

NPR suspended Berliner last Friday after he posted details about his then-employer’s "absence of viewpoint diversity" on Bari Weiss' The Free Press. 

It's unclear if the suspension was a prelude to an eventual termination. 

A former high-level NPR executive who worked with Berliner recently told Fox News Digital that it would be hard for Berliner to remain at the company:

"It seems to me that it would be very difficult for him now at NPR. I’ve seen stuff on the internet that he’s come under attack by people who are still at NPR. I think he did this out of a sense of principle." 

Prior to his suspension, Berliner documented how NPR willfully ignored the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election at the risk of spreading a story that could help Donald Trump win the election.

He then criticized NPR's use of partisan, left-wing talking points during its coverage of Russiagate, the COVID lab leak theory, systemic racism, and antisemitism following Oct. 7. 

Katherine Maher, the CEO whom Berliner references, is an avowed supporter of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. And a detractor of the First Amendment. Listen below:

NPR is not a serious news organization, under Maher's leadership.
