NPR suspends veteran editor who blew whistle on liberal bias at organization

The Spin
Left narrative
Berliner deserved disciplinary action for not reaching out to NPR before publishing his op-ed. While he was entitled to free speech as a private citizen, Berliner had no right to violate NPR's internal policy as a journalist on its payroll. By going to another news outlet with his network's scathing criticism, the veteran editor violated trust and reached the point of no return.
Right narrative
Berliner has paid the price for exposing NPR's far-left-leaning bias. No longer focused on truth, the organization has moved from objective reporting to partisan favoritism. As political polarization continues to grow, Berliner's resignation should stir up a fresh debate around taxpayer-funded public media's sizeable shift to appease the far left.
