#688211 — NPR Admits They Didn't Cover The Hunter Biden Laptop

Now that Trump is going to cancel funding for this radical left group of
course they are now falling on their knives.
Fuck them all.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/npr-chief-admits-dismissing-hunter-biden-laptop-story-mistake

'NPR CEO Katherine Maher conceded during her congressional testimony on
Wednesday that her organization missed the mark in its lack of serious
coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election. 

Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger were grilled by House Republicans on the
newly formed Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee
regarding accusations of biased news coverage backed by federal funding.
"I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to
cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner," Maher
told Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas.

She later reiterated "we made a mistake" about not covering the laptop
in a separate exchange with Rep. Brian Jack, R-Ga. Maher was named CEO
of NPR in 2024, so she wasn't with the taxpayer-backed outlet at the
time the story first broke.

The New York Post's bombshell reporting on the laptop was released in
the heat of the 2020 election where then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden
faced off against President Donald Trump. The story shed light on Hunter
Biden's overseas business practices and his father's possible
involvement, and the laptop also had shocking videos and photos of drug
use and lewd acts.

Many mainstream news outlets disparaged the story at the time and even
credulously repeated suggestions the laptop was a Russian disinformation
operation. At the time, NPR public editor Kelly McBride addressed a
listener's question about the news outlet's blackout of coverage. She
said the Post's reporting had "many, many red flags," including its
potential ties to Russia, and the assertions within the story weren't
significant.

"We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories,
and we don't want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories
that are just pure distractions," NPR managing editor Terence Samuel
told McBride. "And quite frankly, that's where we ended up, this was … a
politically driven event, and we decided to treat it that way."

the 2020 presidential election.

In a stunning tell-all essay published last April, then-veteran NPR
editor Uri Berliner recalled the attitude of his liberal colleagues to
the laptop revelations. 

"The laptop was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of
following a hot story lead was being squelched," Berliner wrote. "During
a meeting with colleagues, I listened as one of NPR’s best and most
fair-minded journalists said it was good we weren’t following the laptop
story because it could help Trump."

"When the essential facts of the Post’s reporting were confirmed and the
emails verified independently about a year and a half later, we could
have fessed up to our misjudgment. But, like Russia collusion, we didn’t
make the hard choice of transparency," he continued.

During her exchange with Cloud, Maher also acknowledged the legitimacy
of the Wuhan lab-leak theory by the CIA after NPR previously dismissed
speculation about the COVID pandemic's origins at the time. 

Maher remained adamant that NPR is a "nonpartisan" news organization
despite her admissions

NPR?
They have become a joke.
I sure as hell don't want my tax dollars funding that bastion of progressive
hate.
Let the Hollywood elite contribute to their propaganda.

A common complaint from those in the right wing echo chamber.

In all likelihood, they don't even know how much of their per capita tax 
dollars go to fund the public broadcasting system.

Indeed, I'll even offer up a wager on this:  for the next 48 hours, the 
first dozen who correctly posts what the per capita per year 
contribution is to PBS, I'll personally reimburse them that amount.


> funding that bastion of progressive hate.

Translation: consistently identified as being one of the most trusted 
and least partisan news sources in America.

"... in every year since 2004, surveys of Americans have shown PBS to 
have been consistently ranked as the most trusted institution in 
comparison to commercial broadcast and cable television, newspapers, and 
streaming services, and in January 2021, Americans valued tax dollars 
spent on PBS behind only military defense and oversight of food and drug 
safety.[103]"


<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBS>


> Let the Hollywood elite contribute to their propaganda.

PBS ain't anything close to 'Hollywood'.

Plus even if one goes to look at their ratings on AllSides, note that 
until 2022, they were solidly "center" year after year, which is more 
indicative of half of the country lurching further to the right than 
them really changing.

It's the direction the supposedly PUBLIC network takes as a whole.
Allsides Considered is an exception that you are cherry picking.

This is more inline with what I am concerned about:
<https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/watch-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-plays-sick-pbs/>

I don't want a penny of my tax dollars paying for that kind of garbage.

And BTW I would say the same thing if NPR were extreme right and showing
say religious programming and so forth.

If NPR wants to do what they do, that's fine but get private funding either
through fundraising or go quasi commercial.

It's obvious (to me at least) that the USA is even farther down the road
to plutocracy than it was a couple of years ago.  Maybe that will be
more successful than democracy in terms of world competitiveness.  

It's plain that authoritarian states are much more nimble and effective
than democratic ones simply because decrees are much more quickly 
put in place than democratic decisions are.  Also, decrees are not
repealed every time the colour of government changes.

I bet CPB survives the second Trump term.  There's more support for
independent media than the righties want to project onto the whole of
the country.  Former Vice Pres. Pence did a great interview on the PBS
NewsHour, for example, I'm not his hugest fan admittedly but I respect
his gentlemanly nature, his willingness to acknowledge fair journalism
like he acknowledged the 2020 election result.  He didn't just flail
around pretending PBS was biased for the left, he sat his butt in the
chair and talked to them like a normal person.  That's a real American
and a real intellectually honest political figure.

Cute claim .. but instead of believing MTG's claims, let's actually wait 
for perjury charges to actually be filed for lying to Congress.

Its already 95+% privately funded, which means that its more independent 
of Government subsidies than Elon Musk.

Plus much of the beneficiaries are under-supported rural that commercial 
enterprise isn't interested in because they're unprofitable markets.

Huh?
I agree with you that All sides Now is an exception.
It's fair.
Most of NPR is not.

The head of NPR Kathrine Maher was exposed as a liar to congress the other day.
They used her own tweets.

If it's even a single 1/100000th of a cent it's too much.
I want zero of my tax dollars going to that garbage.

It gets approximately $535 Million dollars per year from federal funding but
that number is difficult to pin down because of the way the funds are distributed
and what parts of the federal government is responsible for what.

If NPR was truly non partisan I would not have a problem with it.
I used to enjoy Car Talk with "Click and Clack" the tappet brothers.
However that show ended on NPR.

Even Bill Maher called NPR "crazy far left" the other night and he is hardly
a right winger.

Just stop, crazy person, it's not "garbage", it's just something that
challenges your boneheaded, idiotic outlook.  Grow a brain, and cope
with the fact that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is about
giving a foundation to independent public media, do you want the
networks to control the airwaves entirely, you fucking dumbfuck?

Get with it.

Exactly.
And if Fox or OAN or MSNBC or CNN were receiving tax dollars I would say
the exact same thing.
