News 4

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

That whistle-blower at NPR was punished with five days of suspension, and then he resigned his long-time position as editor and writer. Of course he did. It would be difficult to remain in the organization after calling it out publicly like that, and it cost him his job.

His accusation was that NPR is now partisan (though he shares its point-of-view), that its reporting is one-sided, that it does not tolerate dissent from its politics.

Its CEO fully participates with the "Disinformation" movement described in yesterday's post, acknowledging that it can be "tricky"null to censor dissent due to that pesky First Amendment in the U.S. Constitution. 

Public money is also a problem if the news organization is partisan as the whistle-blower reported, because taxpayers support it: "NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law."null
