NPR CEO Mocked for Claiming Outlet Is ‘Non-Partisan’ During PBS Interview

The CEO of National Public Radio, Katherine Maher, recently made the laughable claim that NPR is a non-partisan news organization.

Maher made the claim during a PBS interview, adding that she tried to make the case that Trump is infringing on NPR’s First Amendment rights.

Keep in mind, we’ve previously been misled about NPR’s budget coming from federal funding — which they claimed was minimal.

So, if it’s so small, why are they freaking out about losing it?

Fox News reported:

In an interview on PBS NewsHour, the NPR boss trashed Trump’s executive order to “cease Federal funding for NPR,” calling it “viewpoint discrimination” and saying that Trump is just taking it out on NPR because it goes against his views.

“And so, it is a textbook example of viewpoint discrimination from a First Amendment standpoint,” she said.

“Essentially, by blocking funding to NPR and PBS, it is a form of retaliation against our organizations for airing editorial programming that the president might disagree with.”

Maher also responded to criticism, declaring:

“Well, first of all, I respond by saying we’re a non-partisan news organization. We seek to be able to provide a range of different viewpoints in terms of who we bring on air, the stories that we tell.”

“My view is that is a mischaracterization of our work. We do not seek to favor any political party at all. We seek to ensure that Americans have a wide range of perspectives available to them.”
