NPR is facing criticism after veteran editor Uri Berliner was suspended without pay for publicly expressing concerns about bias within the newsroom. Berliner, NPR's senior business editor, wrote an essay highlighting what he perceived as a liberal takeover of the organization's coverage.
The suspension, reportedly based on Berliner violating NPR's policy regarding outside work, has sparked controversy both internally and externally. Several NPR journalists have expressed a lack of confidence in working with Berliner moving forward.
