By golly, I think we've discovered the qualifications that got Katherine Maher hired to run Government Radio.
Christopher Rufo has done extensive digging into Maher's track record, none of which had anything to do with journalism until NPR made her its new CEO in January. Maher did work at Wikipedia as its CEO during the pandemic and the 2020 election, where she took an active role in content control. And by content control, Maher made clear in a remote address to the Atlantic Council in 2021, she means imposing censorship on any information or discussion to which the government objected on both topics (transcript via RealClearPolitics):

Yeah, and the "misinformation" was THE TRUTH. And all the government stories were the LIES.

The Biden Regime sure can find those harpies.
KJP, Scary Poppins (although her song was kinda funny), and now the Queen of the Karens. Oh yeah, and I forgot the nuclear waste director who stole and wore women's clothing and the guy passing himself off as a she (Surgeon General?).

Did you "partner" with Republican Administrations, or only Democrat? Who exactly were you "working" with to craft this censorship strategy?

It was my job to suppress the truth about the Yellow Death Plague, and the stolen 2020 election. And I'm good at it. Just try to withhold our funding. HAHAHA.

The new witch in charge of NPR is a Leftists' dream. They would have done just as well with Hillary.

If she's the leftist I think she is then she's been COVID vaccinated and boosted up to the hilt so rest assured, her days are numbered.

Thanks for confessing. NPR will now have to find another sugar daddy. There are plenty of rich left lunatics around.

She is not willing to do a review to see that she was actually promoting misinformation, which was the point of the insider story. Rather than admit their errors and do something about it, they simply moved on like it never happened. NPR has no integrity as a news organization.

This means that NPR parroted what the WH said. That is not honest reporting. What happened to investigative reporters, you don't hear from them anymore. News media says what the government wants them to say. Clowns now are reporters on most of the TV news media. We are now looking like a socialist or communist country.

This is what you get when the harpies and their apologists insist on more women in positions of power.

Thanks NPR CEO for confirming what we all knew and what Uri Berlinger said, that ya'll are so far Left that the Communists/Stalin/Mao would blush at your shamelessness of speaking/printing what you believe.

Oops. I thought I wanted to read about NPR. Well, after trying to give a darn about her off-putting photo, as it turns out I did not want to read that.
