Veteran National Public Radio (NPR) editor and reporter Uri Berliner resigned from the broadcaster Wednesday after being suspended without pay for publishing a lengthy essay calling out the networks’ innate left-wing bias.
“I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years,” Berliner posted on his X social media account. “I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism.”
Berliner further detailed he “cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay.”
