NPR Chief Plays Race Card, Claims ‘We Report on Soybean Farmers and LGBTQ Activism’
23rd July 2025
Status newsletter founder and former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy interviewed NPR chief executive Katherine Maher on Sunday about the awfulness of what she saw (at least through Darcy’s paraphrasing) as a decision that was “politically motivated, structurally damaging, and devastating to rural communities where public broadcasting is often the last reliable source of local journalism….”
In journo-speak, of course, ‘Reliable’ means ‘pushes the Narrative’ and ‘Devastating to rural communities’ means ‘devastating to Cloud People influence among the Dirt People’.
