But those seem really obvious and I’m sure that there are tons of press agencies that are similarly aligned.

NYT and NPR are center/center-right these days.

This made me giggle.

Good old workin’ the ref.

Poor Republicans. You guys keep finding out that reality has a liberal bias and it makes you so mad.

You clearly did not read his piece if this is your take away.

No, I read it alright. He’s working the refs and he doesn’t live in reality. For example, as another PP pointed out, the Trump campaign really did work with Russia. When the far right claimed “lab leak!” they did so without any evidence and from a place of not only racism, but a place that then vacated their agency to act responsibly in regards to preventing infection. Kind of like someone who sleeps around without protection and without getting tested.

And you’re so siloed that you don’t understand any of this because you don’t consume NPR, you consume OAN and Fox. Your only brush with NPR - which, BTW, has tilted as far right as every other allegedly “neutral” outlet - is this article and the podcast with Bari Weiss and the right wing’s obsessive hatred of public media. So forgive the rest of us for disagreeing with one nutjob right winger’s take.

Uri Berliner is NOT right wing. At all. You bet he is.

The whole Russian collusion story was a hoax started by the DNC and Hillary Clinton. That, my dear, is fact. No, my darling, it is not.

And, the claim of the lab leak was based on SCIENCE. The fact that no bats were within flying distance of the wet market was one piece of science. Then, there was the video of the lab worker that was censored by China. It wasn’t based on science, at least not at the time. You don’t seem to understand that wet markets bring in animals from a pretty wide area, that people actually do travel. It was an argument grounded solely in the GOP’s hatred of Asian people.
I cannot believe you are crying racism. That is rich.

As I said, you’re so siloed you don’t even know what you don’t know. As much as I think NPR is centrist-right wing trash, you’d be a thousand times better informed if you listened or read them.

Good grief. You talk about being "siloed" when that is EXACTLY what you are.
And, your statement above is simply laughable.

Don't bother meeting reality. You claim "reality has a liberal bias."
When that "reality" denies facts and evidence because they are inconvenient to the narrative and ignores stories that don't meet with the approval of the liberal audience, I guess you are right. The reality is groups like NPR are choosing a "reality" that is not grounded in truth.

Do you have cites for your claim? I have one based on some reporting from earlier today: NPR journos were instructed to report an HRC lie for every time Trump lied. When they were asked how to handle if one candidate didn't lie as much as the other, they were met with silence.

Now this is an actual good example of the uneven reporting that advantages Republicans over Democrats and sleazy Republicans have nothing to say about it.

DP. I'd just love to see a citation for the PP's claim. Still waiting.

9:09 gave you your citation with full quotes.

Hmmm it got really quiet in here.

Meanwhile, today marks four years since Trump suggested getting disinfectant or powerful light into the body to cure Covid. Here’s how the “liberal media” reacted - by not even noticing, much less noting, how insane that suggestion is to make by the President on live television with millions of scared and desperate people watching. Including this famous tweet that the New York Times later deleted.

Not PP but I’m surprised if you’re following this story that you haven’t seen this piece by Alicia Montgomery, who was at NPR from 1997 (before Berliner) until 2020.

“Uri’s account of the deliberate effort to undermine Trump up to and after his election is also bewilderingly incomplete, inaccurate, and skewed. For most of 2016, many NPR journalists warned newsroom leadership that we weren’t taking Trump and the possibility of his winning seriously enough. But top editors dismissed the chance of a Trump win repeatedly, declaring that Americans would be revolted by this or that outrageous thing he’d said or done. I remember one editorial meeting where a white newsroom leader said that Trump’s strong poll numbers wouldn’t survive his being exposed as a racist. When a journalist of color asked whether his numbers could be rising because of his racism, the comment was met with silence. In another meeting, I and a couple of other editorial leaders were encouraged to make sure that any coverage of a Trump lie was matched with a story about a lie from Hillary Clinton. Another colleague asked what to do if one candidate just lied more than the other. Another silent response.

I left NPR in the early fall of 2016, but when I came back to work on Morning Edition about a year later, I saw NO trace of the anti-Trump editorial machine that Uri references. On the contrary, people were at pains to find a way to cover Trump’s voters and his administration fairly. We went full-bore on “diner guy in a trucker hat” coverage and adopted the “alt-right” label to describe people who could accurately be called racists. The network had a reflexive need to stay on good terms with people in power, and journalists who had contacts within the administration were encouraged to pursue those bookings.”

So, it's not surprising they have little media attention.

Yep. Why on earth are taxpayers funding what amounts to a wing of the Democratic party?

He is a senior editor and he gave thoughts re: the Mueller report, and it was APPARENT he didn’t read it.
And he’s a senior editor?
If I were his boss, I’d be alarmed.
When did he check out? How long has he not been doing the work required of him?

His comments were totally accurate.
NPR seems to want to remain a liberal echo chamber.

They were not. Like not at all. He’s supposed to be informed. He’s not. And it’s unfortunate because it’s hard to take the rest of what he said seriously.

Oh, he is. Obviously NPR is a bastion of left wing bias. The sad thing is that people in this forum honestly don’t recognize it they live in such a bubble

Not one DCUM Democrat would ever admit that he is absolutely correct. I admire him for taking this stance and saying what needed to be said. NPR simply panders to the left. There is zero neutrality there. At least Fox News is a private corporation - NPR exists on the taxpayer dime. Disgraceful.
