“Given the relentless attacks on free speech, I am going to fund a national signature campaign in support of the First Amendment,” Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk wrote on Thursday as he blasted new NPR CEO Katherine Maher for her statements on “truth” and the First Amendment.
The NPR, under Maher, recently suspended NPR’s longtime editor, Uri Berliner, after exposing the outlet’s liberal bias in an essay published in The Free Press.
He was suspended for five days without pay.
In response, Berliner announced his resignation on X and scrutinized NPR’s new CEO, who “confirms the very problems at NPR.”
He tweeted, “I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay.”
“We’re looking for a leader right now who’s going to be unifying and bring more people into the tent and have a broader perspective on, sort of, what America is all about. And this seems to be the opposite of that,” Berliner told NPR’s David Folkenflik on Tuesday.
Berliner also pointed out media bias on major issues, especially COVID-19, the Israel-Hamas war, and Hunter Biden’s controversy-stricken laptop.
He also highlighted the lack of diversity on NPR’s editorial staff, where 87 are registered Democrats and zero are Republicans.
In his essay, Berliner recalled presenting these findings with his colleagues.
“When I suggested we had a diversity problem with a score of 87 Democrats and zero Republicans, the response wasn’t hostile,” Berliner wrote.
“It was worse. It was met with profound indifference.”
The former NPR business editor had worked for the radio agency for 25 years. Unfortunately for Maher, her suspension of Berliner exposed her history of hyperpartisanship.
Maher, in 2018, slandered then-President Donald Trump and called him a “racist.” In November 2020, she had a photo wearing a hat with Joe Biden’s campaign logo.
The NPR CEO also had “Kamala” dreams, saying she dreamt about going on a road trip with the vice president “sampling and comparing nuts and baklava from roadside stands.”
Before her CEO stint, Maher was the head of the Wikimedia Foundation.
X (formerly Twitter) users also unearthed her previous tweets and old videos.
One clip showed Maher’s interview with Trevor Noah in 2021, where she pushed for “rewriting history because it favors white people.”
Musk replied, “Katherine Maher is blatantly racist and sexist—one of the worst human beings in America.”
In a post by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) featuring her TedTalk speech where she claims that “our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done,” the billionaire replied, “certifiably insane.”
