More folks are joining the ranks of those skeptical about mainstream media, including journalists within those very outlets. Uri Berliner, an editor at NPR for 25 years, made waves when he penned a critical essay about the organization.
He pointed to what he saw as left-leaning bias, citing examples like NPR’s coverage of “Russiagate” and its handling of topics like the Covid-19 lab leak theory and Hunter Biden’s laptop. He also criticized NPR’s internal culture, highlighting the proliferation of identity-based employee groups.
After his essay was published: NPR suspended Berliner for five days without pay for discussing internal matters without permission. He ultimately decided to resign. While some conservatives lauded his bravery in speaking out, others struggled to reconcile his criticisms with his affection for NPR.
This incident is part of a broader trend of tensions between journalists and management in media organizations like NPR, the New York Times, and NBC, which some see as reflecting a larger wave of employee activism in US corporations following the murder of George Floyd.
