Respected NPR editor admits outlet caters to Democrat, anti-Trump audience

There was once a time when people who claimed most of the mainstream media was biased toward the left were called "conspiracy theorists."

However, in recent years, it's been confirmed over and over again that most of the mainstream, establishment media is deep in the tank for the Democratic Party, and one brave NPR editor just broke his silence and confirmed that his employer is one of the left's closest allies.

According to the New York Post, Uri Berliner, a veteran, award-winning business editor and reporter at NPR, admitted in a detailed essay that the outlet, which claimed to be fair and unbiased, went out of its way to cater to a certain audience, and to bury certain stories that could "help" former President Donald Trump.

Berliner held nothing back in calling out NPR brass for making the outlet "an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience."

He dialed in on one particular noteworthy story -- the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco that was buried by a vast majority of the mainstream media at the time.

"The laptop was newsworthy," Berliner wrote. "But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched."

The NY Post recounted how it was the first outlet to break the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was published to the masses just weeks before the consequential 2020 presidential election.

It recalled how intelligence "experts" deemed the story to be false and/or fake news. The NY Post was immediately censored and suspended from all major social media networks as a result.

The Post noted:

According to Berliner, NPR’s managing editor for news at the time said that the outlet had no interest in “[wast[ing] our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions."

Berliner went on to admit that one of his respected NPR colleagues expressed relief at the time they were told to ignore the story, admitting that covering it could have helped Trump win re-election that year.

He said that once the contents of the laptop were verified, NPR could have done the right thing and admitted it was wrong not to cover it, but never made that move.

"But, like Russia collusion [allegations against Trump that were debunked], we didn’t make the hard choice of transparency," Berliner wrote.

Berliner continued to burn his employer on the same topic, pointing out several instances of bias. Only time will tell how long it takes for NPR to find a reason to part ways with him now that the truth has been exposed from the inside.
