New video was resurfaced showing NPR’s new CEO Katherine Maher complaining about the first amendment on a panel hosted by the Atlantic Council.
According to the Daily Mail:
Maher called the First Amendment the “number one challenge” in American journalism during a panel discussion.
Maher noted the First Amendment provides a “fairly robust protection of rights,” making it “a little tricky to address some of the real challenges of where bad information comes from.”
“The number one challenge that we see here is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States,” Maher said.
According to the organization's release, she discussed fighting censorship, addressing diversity and building trust based on her experience as the former CEO of Wikimedia, which owns Wikipedia. The clip has now gone viral on X, with Elon Musk reposting and saying, 'This keeps getting crazier! The head of NPR hates the Constitution of the USA.'
Watch below:
Maher has increasingly been under scrutiny since an article from veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner went viral exposing the network’s liberal culture. Berliner was suspended without pay from NPR for five days as a result of his criticism, leading to his resignation.
There have also been numerous renewed calls to defund NPR in the face of the “revelation” that they’re a leftist outlet - though I’m not exactly sure who wasn’t already aware of that.
