Uri Berliner, a senior editor at National Public Radio spoke out on bias at NPR.
National Public Radio (NPR) finds itself in the spotlight after a senior editor broke ranks to expose the network’s government-funded bias and concerted efforts against former President Donald Trump.
Uri Berliner, a seasoned business editor at National Public Radio (NPR), has come forward with allegations that challenge the integrity of the news organization’s coverage during the Trump administration. In a candid conversation with Bari Weiss on her podcast, “The Honestly Pod,” Berliner dug into his observations of NPR’s transformation from a liberal-leaning entity into what he describes as a “knee-jerk,” “activist,” and “scolding” newsroom with a rigidly progressive agenda.
Berliner, who has been with NPR for over two decades and has earned accolades such as a Peabody Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award, spoke of a time when NPR embodied an “open-minded, curious culture,” despite its liberal inclinations. However, he suggested that the election of Donald Trump marked a pivotal shift. “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 revealed.

“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,” Berliner said, regarding the missed opportunity for introspection and course correction following the Mueller report.
He has now been suspended for five days without pay.
NPR senior Editor Uri Berliner is reportedly facing consequences after publicly criticizing the outlet’s progressive leanings.
According to a Tuesday article by NPR’s David Folkenflik, Berliner has been suspended for five days without pay, a term that began on Friday after he penned an essay for the Free Press.
“It angered many of his colleagues, led NPR leaders to announce monthly internal reviews of the network’s coverage, and gave fresh ammunition to conservative and partisan Republican critics of NPR, including former President Donald Trump,” Folkenflik wrote.
In Berliner’s April 9 essay titled “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust,” he said, “NPR has always had a liberal bent.” Please click here to read the entire piece.
