American Journalism: A Back Door Strangle on Free Speech Revealed
NPR veteran Uri Berliner's op-ed acknowledges National Public Radios' well-known bias
What we’ve known of American journalism to be true is finally being revealed: journalists are told how to speak. But do many of us understand how this happens?
Like the flood of products pushed front and center into Targets across America last June (enabling their perfect CEI score of 100), or the illegal immigrants coddled by San Diego’s taxpayer-funded NGOs (non government organizations), behind NPR’s all-consuming efforts of inclusion is a highly-funded workplace mandate, complete with a pronoun guide.
After receiving a $1 million grant to implement DEI trainings, NPR saw a sharp decline in diverse listeners—their current demographic representing only a very small segment of the U.S. population. A peek into voter registration records revealed 100% of NPR's D.C. editorial staff were registered democrats. Not one republican.
Hear the glaring irony of this statement, found on NPR’s website:
“In our content, diversity means including people in their difference and in their ordinariness, mitigating the biases and prejudices that can warp coverage and distort truth. In hiring, we are striving to create a workforce that, at every level, looks more like America, even as we work to overcome a legacy of exclusion.” Who’s going to tell them?
It’s rare that we ever receive a sensible admission of fault from these agencies that are so loud, yet represent such a small portion of America. Now, years later after the damage has been done, Berliner admits that NPR inaccurately reported on the Muller report, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Donald Trump and the origins of covid. When given a chance to pivot and admit a false perspective, they chose to dig in even deeper on their already-established misdirection.
After the death of George Floyd, NPR was forced to track diversity not only in their employees but also in their news coverage to “keep up to date with current language and style guidance from journalism affinity groups.” The significance of this op-ed is alarming, because it reveals that biased entities are using contractual agreements of DEI trainings and other means to “determine the terms and vocabulary of our news coverage.”
Excuse me, WHAT!? Is this surprising to read? Absolutely not, but it cannot be tolerated. Clear-minded citizens need to be sounding the alarm on such back door regulations of free speech.
A course-correction must be made. It’s time for a reckoning of all agencies and organizations being controlled through marxist tactics slow drip of socialism now masquerading as DEI. And for those that remain unaware of the swift and rapid changes of our world—or the dwindling size of their echo chamber—they’ll soon lift up their heads and wonder where everyone went. Americans refuse to be controlled and manipulated.
