and npr spokesperson responded to the scathing article saying npr is proud to be one of the most trust news outlets but acknowledging it's open to critique writing we have an obligation to consider and measure how our coverage fulfills our public service to all audiences. saying npr just hired a new ceo. she it has a tech background not news. he says her first role should be not to tell people how to think. >> trace: that's a good rule, thank you. [♪♪] >> trace: the "fox news @ night" commonsense department is always fascinated after reading the los angeles times because the times conjures the most compelling characters in it's fictional world of news, including today's op-ed saying that president biden is getting little credit for the economy, especially in california. the peace goes on to blame psychology saying consumers pay more attention to the extra money they have to spend than the extra money in their paychecks. does the la times read it's financial page? does the la times have a financial page? doesn't know that inflation is far outpacing wage gains? milk is up 20%, bread up 3

npr doesn't even try to show good faith.cts conservative leaders to lack the backbone to take away the government and sadly this assumption is usually correct. npr, therefore, feels free to act brazenly as the imperial tribune of the permanent bureaucracy amplifying the woke mindset of the bicoastal elites. now it's so bad that they are even getting hammered by one of their own. one of the most senior editors at npr yuri berliner blue the whistle on how it manipulates courage from the conch of the lab leak theory to its efforts to damage trump's presidency. he writes open-minded spirit no longer exists within npr. that wouldn't be a problem for openly polemic call issue in outlet serving a niche audience. journalism and business model. berliner admits npr has always been liberal we know. things went really wild when trump entered politics in 2015. rise of advocacy took off donald trump. schiff the top democrat at the house intel committee became npr's guiding hand ever present muze by my point npr hosts schiff 25 times trump

one of them is that you see berliner and others who are critics of npr pointing out the new head of npr, kathryn maier, is someone who in the past has been tweeting critically about donald trump and the question is can she come in and be a uniter, a fair voice at npr given that she has been outspoken in her political views? >> bill: you can read a lot of pieces every day about the internal agitation this has caused at npr. does berliner move on or still work there or does npr just keep on sailing in the same waters they have assumed for the past eight years? >> well look, we live in a very polarized media landscape. my sense of berliner he has been there 25 years. he won a peabody. accomplished journalist but right now he angered his colleagues inside who see themselves under assault from people who don't like them and want to defund them and see them as, you know, in the case of my firing, unable to deal with people who think differently especially in my case a black guy who thinks differently than they think. and so they are very sensitive to criticism even though they are all for bei

but npr doesn't see it it that way.lists. going back to you, your contract was terminated back in 2010. i remember the controversy. some comments you made on fox. you said if you see someone with muslim garb get on a plane, you get nervous, but you also said -- >> this was after 9/11. howard: right. but you also said all muslims shouldn't be blamed for what extremists do, so why did this lead to your getting the axe? >> this is interesting in the context of uri berliner's speech because this was before trump. howard: right. >> i think what we've seen time and again at npr is an insulated cadre of people, liberals, i think, for the most part who think they are right-thinking, they're well educated people, they think they're good people, and it can lead, i think, to a sort of arrogance. so someone like me, i think you've known me a long time. i'm no blaming conservative, but i am too conservative a black guy for their taste. they would say, well, why is he willing to hear this out, to talk to a justice thomas, to deal wit

i have been a long time listener of npr but it has dropped off in recent years.iner's original piece, when it started in 2011, if your audience -- tilted to the left but pretty much kind os conservative, 23% middle-of-the-road. by 2023, last year, it was completely different, only 11% said they were conservative, 21% middle-of-the-road and 67% of npr listeners were liberal. to me, npr has lost the greater public's trust and uri berliner, i think they probably did have to let him go. i think he was probably at that point knew it was coming, and she, though, has defended her old tweets by saying, in america, everyone has a right to free speech. except for uri berliner. he didn't have one. instead of, also, the other thing is, instead of saying, he made some points, we are going to take a look at them. instead they are going straight ahead and they will call anybody who doesn't support them anymore for their funding, whatever they are going to call them, i have defended npr for years but i'm out. >> jesse: dana is a definedder. are defunder, too? >> tyrus: i have an

>> well, it's just not a fox news alert that npr is biased.filiated tv radio, you know, npr also pbs. they get about $5 million. we pay for it and they get to put out this propaganda. so it's not a surprise. you know, my in-law's are the kind of people that wake up to npr. this has really helped me understand them a lot more. i always wondered why they -- they believe the russia collusion hoax. why they never even really knew about hunter biden's laptop. and this op-ed said they sat in he had torlt meetings and said let's not talk about the laptop because this might help trump. that's the kind of stuff that our tax dollars are paying for. >> ainsley: i bet thanksgiving is fun at your house, rachel.

the new npr ceo suspended him without pay. but what do we know about this new npr ceo?perfect resume. in 2016, she criticized hillary for not being woke enough. quote, i do wish hillary would not use the language of boy and girl, it is erasing language for nonbinary people. in 2018, she declared that trump is a racist and she did it again in 2020. during the summer of love she called all white people racist and then cap the year off showing how excited she was to vote for biden. that is who npr hired as ceo. not only is she an avid lid, she is a liar. she gave a whole 10 talk about working for wikipedia and talked about how important different perspectives are. >> these are some of the best articles on wikipedia and many of them are written by people who fundamentally disagree with one another. they also found something interesting, which is that the more that these polarized contributors engaged in conversation, the more balanced and productive their contributions became. i knew instinctively this is true because i have seen how productive friction can really get us pl

but that is very powerful coming from someone who was a editor at npr.d and spirit no longer exists he stated, calling out the lack of diversity does not . >> at one point i got so frustrated with what i saw with the lack of different perspective with end of the covers we were looking at. especially with voter registration on our staff. we found eight to seven registered democrats, and zero republicans. and i presented this at a large news meeting and i said something was wrong here. >> kayleigh: zero republicans. think about that, but the editor in chief brushed off the allegations. saying that they strongly disagree and we are proud to stand behind the exceptional work and we try to cover a wide range of challenging stories. we believe that inclusion in our overall coverage is crucial to telling the the nuanced story of this country and our world. harris, we see this again and again and i applaud him for coming forward with what we saw. this is at the first time we've heard this from the main outlets. >> harris: considering the fact that we are in a el

npr had talking points on alleged collusion.viously npr didn't think a lot about the hunter biden laptop story. >> no. i vividly remember when npr terrence samuel said. this we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and we don't want to waste the listeners and reader's time on stories pure distractions. i listen as one of npr's best and most fair minded journalist it was good we were not following the laptop story because it could help trump. >> bret: and by the way samuel was later promoted and year and a half later as you recall, major news outlets confirmed the authenticity of the laptop. >> here is another one the riots after the george floyd killing does he comment on that. >> came from the top. systemic racism loud and clear and the author of the book in defense of looting was interviewed. >> so the question is is npr, you know, pandering to their audience? is that what he is saying? >> yes. and that may not be so unusual but that audience has changed, bret now 6% black and 7% hispanic. npr iss

i don't support coast to defund npr.y colleagues to npr to thrive and do important journalism. i cannot work in a newsroom where i am disparaged by a new ceo with divisive views come from the very problems at npr cited in my free press essay. his old speaking yesterday as well i'm a watch." how do we look holistically and make sure we are entering a wide range of perspectives and views? i think another piece of that is making sure active and robust wide variety of perspectives so those conversations are being had. by giving people the ability to feel as though those conversations are creating a culture where those conversations are welcomed. those are incredibly important priorities in order to be a service to the widest number of people. >> todd: active and robust, the president of district media group and fellow at the independent women's forum and beverly joins us now. nothing says quite active and robust funded by your taxpayer dollars, mind you. more or less forcing out the one guy who tried to start say robust deba

i don't support calls to defund npr, i respect the integrity of my colleagues, which for npr to thriveo important journalism but i cannot work in a newsroom where i am disparaged by the new ceo whose divisive use confirm the very problems at npr eyesight in my free press essay. i mean it's amazing that this whole thing is, you know, federally funded in part but it's kind of a sad solution. >> it really is. i was really moved by berliner's opinion piece because as i read it i thought, you know, i worked in local news for 40 years, proud to work in local news, close to the people, close to what they are thinking and the things that are affecting them. but sadly we also regurgitated a lot of very biased news. i've been retired now for five years. it was getting worse and worse. i have to say, i wish i had been more outspoken at the time, but there's this sense that you want to be careful what you say because you don't want to come out like you are crazy, because you are getting all of this from national media and they should know what they are talking about but i think it's time for even

i think the npr should be clearly defined end.ublic radio that is highly partisan is completely absurd on its face. i would defund it today. i hope donald trump would defund it on day one. i don't think taxpayers give a ton of money to npr anymore. it's largely user supported but it's good to know people are tuning out and realize what it is but it's completely uncertain i'd be more interested to know what is happening in newsrooms at cnn or msnbc that also presented to be nonpartisan journalistic outfits and clearly are not. >> john: dave, great to see was always. >> sandra: from grocery prices to gas prices all are up since biden took office but that's not how the white house sees it. brian and taylor, we are already chatting, they will be here after the break. introducing allison's plaque psoriasis. she thinks her flaky gray patches are all people see. otezla is the #1 prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis allison! over here! otezla can help you get clearer skin and reduce itching and flaking. with no routine blood tests re

not a good idea or not a good sign when you are working for npr.ainsley that should be disturbing for anybody who believes in the first amendment. for example, remember when tom cotton wrote an op-ed for the "new york times" in 2020 said, you know what? maybe we should consider using the national guard troops during riots that get out of control in. the 2020 were horrible. the editor of the "new york times" got fired for publishing that saw where an op-ed was written buildings matter, too. when buildings were being destroyed and businesses destroyed in philadelphia the december of 2020 that editor who won a pulitzer was fired. they hire one contributor over at nbc who may have some favorable thing to say about donald trump and the inmates took over the asylum and made sure we as fired. she appeared once and that was it. i could go on with the examples it. seems at this point we're seeing many people within numerous who are not journalists anymore. they are activists. if any dissenting voices get into that newsroom, they are going to be eliminated o

do you think this is the beginning of the end for npr?> i think the beginning of the end came several years ago when they debated the decision similar to what you were talking about with the motion of a woke agenda over the things they should be doing, and if you look back 15 or 20 years ago npr was pretty consistently higher up on the list of trusted news sources for independent and even right-leaning americans because they were viewed as biased to the left but still pretty fair when it came to their coverage. in the years since then, in the aftermath of the summer of florida and everything else they shifted to the point that almost every segment they have is about race, various woke priorities, disaffected groups. it is completely unlistenable and for someone who grew up like me listening to a lot of npr, my parents listened to npr, there were high-quality programs, disappointing to see them degrade to the point that they are not even in the business of doing anything anymore. it ought to be defunded and it can go off and be its own sel

and npr he argues that npr "lost america's trust" with a rigid progressive viewpoint.rliner wrote in the free press "it is true npr has always had a liberal bet but during most of the tenure here and open minded curious culture prevailed. we were nerdy but not knee-jerk activist or scolding. in recent years however that has changed" in response editor and she said she strongly disagreed obtained by fox. "we are proud to stand behind the exceptional work our steps do we believe with our staff and overall coverage is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world. berliner gives examples criticizing russia gate and the 2016 election embracing the theory of fixed systemic racism and dismissing the possibility cove would escape from wuhan l lab. can service say this is no surprise. >> doesn't shock me, it just shows how grotesquely partisan npr has become, and i would really question why it is the government funding such a partisan institution? we shouldn't. >> berliner says the election of donald trump in 2016 was greeted at npr with disbelief, ange

geoff: bobby carter's new job is a big one, overseeing npr's tiny desk concert.ly popular series has racked up billions of views on youtube. along the way convincing some of music's biggest names to play a stage like no other. >> i decided to take this as an opportunity to show you how the song sounded when i first wrote them. geoff: these intimate, stripped-down performances offer major stars like taylor swift the chance to showcase their talents in ways audiences rarely get to see. a™ she stepped behind the tiny desk in 2019. or when rapper and autotune pioneer t-pain showcased his real voice three years earlier. in all, more than 1000 artists have performed here, including alicia keys. and some, you have maybe never heard of, like this chicago-based marching band, who somehow fit more than 20 musicians behind the tiny desk. the performances happened in front of an audience made up of mostly npr staffers inside its washington, d.c. headquarters. this really is an office space. >> you would be surprised how money people don't realize that. before warned, you are

claudia grisales, npr foreign - grisales, npr foreign correspondence on a very busy day on capital hille new sanctions on iran's drone and missile producers over tehran's unprecedented weekend attack on israel. it comes one day after the us announced its own sanctions on iran. but allies are also urging israel to exercise restraint in its response — as the british foreign secretary david cameron stressed during a meeting with israel's prime minister on wednesday. we wanted to demonstrate our solidarity with israel because it was an appalling attack by iran, but to be clear, we have repeated our view that any response should be smart and designed in a way that is going to limit and try to de—escalate this conflict. nobody wants to see this conflict grow and spread, qatar's prime minister says his country is re—assessing its role as a mediator between israel and hamas, saying his country had been exploited and abused. he said qatar's efforts were being undermined by politicians seeking to score points, a possible reference to us congress members who say qatar puts too little pressure on h
