Summary

A critic responds to NPR's CEO Katherine Maher's challenge to show biased stories by citing multiple examples they claim demonstrate left-leaning editorial choices, including coverage of country music, Russia-gate, Biden's debate performance, and gender-related sports issues, arguing taxpayers shouldn't fund what they characterize as opinion journalism rather than balanced reporting.

    NPR’s CEO Katherine Maher on CNN this morning: “As far as the accusations that we’re biased, I’d stand up and say, ‘Please show me a story that concerns you.’” I’ve got a few: 🧵 (1/5)

  2. #2

    (2/5) NPR reported that country music and birds are racist, told American people to stop eating beef, and promoted the Russia-gate conspiracy. No person with a brain above a single-celled organism would call these articles fair and balanced.

  3. #3

    (3/5) NPR claimed President Biden’s presidential debate performance didn’t change the election, days before he dropped out of the race. If you believe that headline, you believe in the tooth fairy. But that’s what NPR reported with your tax dollars.

  4. #4

    (4/5) NPR reported that there is no evidence that biological men have an unfair advantage over biological women in sports. NPR also called America’s interstate highways racist. I did not know our highways were racist. I thought they were concrete, but not according to NPR.

  5. #5

    (5/5) NPR referred to rural Americans as “Christian nationalists” and heaped praise on Biden administration official Rachel Levine. I could go all day. American taxpayers shouldn’t have to fund this opinion journalism.
