A former NPR editor He urged his previous employer to reject federal support, which suggests that the public transmission organization would only have to blame if Congress chooses to retain government funds.

In other words: it will become truly independent”, former business editor of NPR Uri Berliner He wrote Tuesday at “The Free Press.”
“If the Congress finally annuls the Corporation for the Public Transmission and its annual budget of $ 545 million that supports public television and radio, NPR will greatly have the fault.

Berliner said Tuesday that he does not believe These new measures They are working and urged NPR to openly plant their progressive flag without fear. “
“NPR should leave the public from your mission statement and embrace the progressive. Don’t try to hide what everyone already knows,” he wrote.
“Once it is recognized and in sight, there is a place for defense journalism. And yes, there are tons of blunt stories to cover about Maga World and the use of power without attention from President Trump. NPR can still be an important part of the US conversation, only without federal support. It is time, Npr. Cut the cordon,” Berliner continued.
