I dunno is anyone is following this, but the writer was suspended without pay.


The NPR bosses have stated in writing there can be no place/future for an objective journalist at NPR.


Fox can hire him. They take in both sides every day. Juan Williams, Tarlov, Harold Ford, Brit Hume, Tucker Carlson (<--the idiotic left think he is far right because they are for lack of a better word - stupid and or uneducated. Tucker was the DARLING of CNN not that long ago) &c.

Yes, just like in Orwell’s dystopian novel, Mr Berliner is on his way to becoming and Unperson. But first he will be tried in a kangaroo court with outraged wackos as the jury. Welcome to the new, improved “Land of the Free”.

Default whistle blower suspended

He has been suspended for 2 days. The workplace union has yet to appeal.

The fact that they did that shows they are not open to the truth or they would have dealt with it head on.

They could host an open forum televised where we discuss issues but the problem is, the left would fall apart. Idealism under the harsh reality of public scrutiny would be destroyed. When you ask if a man should be competing against women and denying them opportunity because he thinks he is a girl it would finish itself.

All of their political positions would be demolished in public debate and they know it.

I suspect the article to be a limited hangout- he posts some controversial truth, so he can build credibility to hide the bigger truths.

He points out the Russiagate hoax, and the Hunter Biden laptop coverup, which are fairly well known and acknowledged, but ignors the bigger issue of the government - media - BigTech censorship and clampdown that is still ongoing today.

Where is his outrage about Fauci, and the censorship of the hundreds of researchers, practicing physicians and scientists who challenged the CDC's position on COVID treatment, lockdowns and insistence that the vaccines would stop COVID completely?

Where is his discussion of serious issues being ignored right now, like the Pandemic Treaty, which would threaten US health care and policy?

I quit listening to NPR back in the 90s, when I noticed they were treating the Israeli elections far more seriously than the US elections. They would have long, 4 or 6 minute stories about the different politicians in Israel, what they and their parties stood for, what the difference would be in Israeli politics of one won or the other.

I compared that to their coverage of US elections, which they treated like a horse-race - who's ahead, who got an endorsement. No analysis at all of their positions, platforms, etc.

I got tired of always hearing about the Middle East from the Israeli point of view, and never hearing about the Palestinian point of view. And of course, they never talked about the outsourcing of American industry. Maybe later, after I quit listening, they joined the print media with their "Ain't it awful?" stories about the loss of American jobs, but too late.

The author's point of view is nothing new. I suspect his motives.

So, you suspect his motives because out of the vast global spectrum of topics he didn't specifically address yours while he wisely kept his complaints to high-level bias. You literally just strawmanned the guy as if he said there is a problem with eggs and he didn't specifically say boiled eggs.

It definitely does. One reason for the corrupt MSM is people are hiding behind the system instead of fighting for true freedom. To make things worse, those who are able to expose the brainwashing are removed from public attention before they get the chance.

Well, the guy resigned. So much for supporting diversity—of thought.
