A senior NPR editor just blasted his own network for left-wing bias.

He's been with them for years and is still with them. But he's forced to do this becausehe realizes they have lost all credibility.

It's BAD when one of their own has to admit they are no better than Pravda was.

I a scathing rebuke of the "groupthink" of NPR journalists, Senior Editor Uri Berliner warned that they had lost the public trust. He showed that statistically a huge majority of NPR writers and editors were registered Democrats and wrote their news with that bias. As if we didn't already know.

I had my 15 minutes of fame when I wrote about PBS altering a transcript of an Obama gaffe years ago; got allsorts of attention both from conservatives and from the Left, who were desperate to defend their guy. They twisted and squirmed to deny what had happened. PBS put a notification after the fact saying "as prepared" but that's not how it was shown in the morning. They tried to claim it was just carelessness on their part. Strange how such carelessness never seems to hurt Democrats.

But it's gotten much worse since then. Bad enough that the radio equivalent of PBS has to have a senior editor call them out.
