Some saw it as a shock, others saw it as a case of just deserts. At the beginning of April, the veteran NPR journalist, Uri Berliner, resigned from the publication after being put on unpaid leave for writing an essay critiquing NPR’s overwhelming liberal bias and lack of viewpoint diversity. The essay in question was Berliner’s critical commentary on his network, exposing the blunders of NPR’s reporting on political subjects. From the supposed Russiagate collusion to Hunter Biden’s laptop to the Wuhan Lab Leak, NPR lacked significant and objective reporting. Without pursuing further sources, NPR claimed that the Wuhan leak was a baseless conspiracy, which it wasn’t. They also claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop story from the New York Post was unfounded and possibly disinformation, so much so that it wasn’t worth their time, only for the story to be proven correct. NPR even aired interviews with multiple anti-Trump politicians after the 2016 election who tried to allude to a possibility the 2016 election was stolen via Russian election meddling, until the Mueller report proved it baseless.
