NPR Internal Critic Uri Berliner SUSPENDED Without Pay for Going Public on Bias Complaints

In his latest company-man report, NPR media reporter David Folkenflik revealed that NPR senior editor Uri Berliner was suspended without pay for five days (beginning Friday) for deciding his years of internal advocacy for more fairness and balance in NPR’s coverage had been fruitless, so he went public…
failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets, as is required of NPR journalists. It called the letter a “final warning,” saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR’s policy again…
[punishment seems to be] specifically for reporting the fact that 67 percent of NPR’s current audience identifies as liberal or very liberal.
And repeating the beating from Scott Stantis of the Chicago Tribune:
Let this be a lesson to anyone stupid enough violate the media’s Code of Silence.
