NPR editor who accused outlet of liberal bias resigns

Uri Berliner exits days after publication of an essay saying news organization no longer has an ‘open-minded spirit’

An editor at National Public Radio who publicly accused the news organization of having a liberal bias and a growing absence of “viewpoint diversity” has resigned, days after being suspended without pay.

On Wednesday, Uri Berliner posted a screenshot of his resignation letter to NPR’s CEO, Katherine Maher, in which he wrote: “I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years.”
