Mr. Berliner just wrote and spoke what everyone ought to know without it being written, or spoken, but it was refreshing to read it, hear it, and witness the turmoil it has caused in Satan’s camp among his foot soldiers.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher received her bachelor’s degree from New York University in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies. So, do you need a blunt instrument to the noggin to get where she is coming from and where her bias lies? She is VERY pro-Islam. In America. After September 11th, 2001. Imagine that. 

Did we witness news media heads in the late 1940s and early 1950s being installed as CEOs that had no journalism experience, but had degrees in Imperialist Japanese or Nazi culture? That was what they studied and were drawn to? Hardly.

Still don’t believe we’re in the last of the last days and everything hasn’t changed — and not in a good way — and there is no more masking, hiding from evil? It is emboldened, blatant, in our faces, and always attempting to be in our hearts and minds.

All broadcast media in America, and around the world is biased. Even FOX News has bias. Just as all individuals do. Outlets such as NPR/PBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, SPECTRUM NEWS, and others, including your LOCAL NEWS, are just much more biased and clear as to the evil within all of them. And they are EVIL. Not merely leftist, liberal, socialist, communist [insert the ist or ism of choice].

If not of God?

Then what? From whom?

And there are only two sources of EVERYTHING.

The press is hard-pressed to EVER report anything even remotely close to fully, or explain and report the true causes of events. If omitting God, if omitting the Holy Bible, if omitting the constant and escalating spiritual war taking place around and within every person on earth? Well, then you are only getting a sliver of biased information, thus misinformation.

Right? Think about it. Yes, take time to pause and think about it. Even if that means turning that grated device in your palm off and going someplace quiet, alone, to think and pray about such a thing.

Do not be deceived. Do not cling to whatever news is aired, spoken, or written [especially social media, unreliable sources, 23rd party bits and bobs].

This may sound simplistic, dismissive even to some, but first always, always, always go to the Good News of the WHOLE Word of God. From Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 21:22. First. Foremost. Always. Daily. Nightly. In ALL THINGS. Even pertaining to current events — ESPECIALLY pertaining to current events!

And the whole of the Holy Bible is “Good news!” even the parts, and passages which you may not like or agree with. They agree with God. Why don’t they agree with you, Christian? I can understand a pagan, an unbeliever objecting to what they may find in the God-breathed words of the whole Holy Bible, but why do you object, Christian?

Of course NPR/PBS are massively, outrageously, almost three-ring-circus leftist biased — which is massively, outrageously biased to every part and parcel of evil. Of the world. And of their master, they so diligently serve, Satan, he who has dominion here on this temporal earth for a season.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20

NPR suspends veteran editor Uri Berliner, who called out left-wing bias

NPR has suspended Uri Berliner, the senior editor who published a bombshell essay a week ago that claimed that the publicly funded outlet has “lost America’s trust” by approaching news stories with a left-wing bias.

NPR media writer David Folkenflik revealed on Tuesday that Berliner beginning on Friday was suspended for five days without pay. Folkenflik, who reviewed a copy of the letter from NPR brass, said the company told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets — a requirement for NPR journalists.

NPR called the letter a “final warning,” saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR’s policy again.

Neither NPR nor Berliner immediately responded to requests for comment.

Berliner is a dues-paying member of NPR’s newsroom union, but Folkenflik reported that the editor is not appealing the punishment.

Berliner, a Peabody Award-winning journalist who has worked at NPR for 25 years, called out journalistic blind spots around major news events, including the origins of COVID-19, the war in Gaza and the Hunter Biden laptop, in an essay published Tuesday on Bari Weiss’ online news site the Free Press.

The fallout from the essay sparked outrage from many of his colleagues. Late Monday afternoon, NPR chief news executive Edith Chapin announced to the newsroom that executive editor Eva Rodriguez would lead monthly meetings to review coverage.

The fiasco also ignited a firestorm of criticism from prominent conservatives — with former President Donald Trump demanding NPR’s federal funding be yanked — and has led to internal tumult, the New York Times reported Friday.

NPR’s new chief executive Katherine Maher defended NPR’s journalism, calling Berliner’s article “profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning,” The 42-year-old exec added that the essay amounted to “a criticism of our people on the basis of who we are.”

Folkenflik said Berliner took umbrage at that, saying she had “denigrated him.” Berliner said he supported diversifying NPR’s workforce to look more like the US population at large. Maher did not address that in a subsequent private exchange he shared with Folkenflik for the story.

The fiasco soon put the spotlight on Maher, whose own left-leaning bias came to light in a trove of woke, anti-Trump tweets she penned.

In January, when Maher was announced as NPR’s new leader, The Post revealed her penchant for parroting the progressive line on social media — including bluntly biased Twitter posts like “Donald Trump is a racist,” which she wrote in 2018.

That hyper-partisan message was scrubbed from the platform now known as X, but preserved on the site Archive.Today.

It’s unclear when Maher deleted it, or if its removal was tied to her new gig.

Other woke posts remain on Maher’s X account. In 2020, as the George Floyd riots raged, she attempted to justify the looting epidemic in Los Angeles as payback for the sins of slavery.

“I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive,” Maher wrote on May 31, 2020.

“But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.”

The next day, she lectured her 27,000 followers on “white silence.”

“White silence is complicity,” she scolded. “If you are white, today is the day to start a conversation in your community.”

The NPR job is Maher’s first position in journalism or media.

She was previously the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, the San Francisco-based nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia, after holding communications roles for the likes of HSBC, UNICEF and the World Bank.

Maher earned a bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies from New York University, according to her LinkedIn account, and grew up in Wilton, Conn. — a town that her mother, Ceci Maher, now represents as a Democratic state senator.
