Katherine Maher - leftist freak, CEO of NPR

Katherine Maher, NPR’s newly appointed CEO, is facing criticism over her past tweets as a veteran editor accuses the organization of leftist bias. But along the way, another interesting line of investigation has opened — how Maher wrecked Wikipedia by turning away from “free and open” discussions on the “online wikipedia” because that goal represents a “white male westernized construct.”
The Daily Mail reports that Katherine Maher, NPR’s newly appointed CEO, has sparked controversy after a resurfaced clip from a 2021 panel discussion hosted by the Atlantic Council revealed her calling the First Amendment the “number one challenge” in American journalism. During the discussion, Maher, who previously served as the CEO of Wikimedia the parent organization of Wikipedia, argued that the First Amendment provides a “fairly robust protection of rights,” making it “a little tricky to address some of the real challenges of where bad information comes from.”
The controversy has also brought to light some of Maher’s past tweets, which include a veiled shot at former President Donald Trump, branding him a ‘deranged racist sociopath,’ and her support for President Biden by sharing selfies wearing his campaign hats. Maher has also expressed views on gender and language, tweeting, “I do wish Hillary wouldn’t use the language of “boy and girl” – it’s erasing language for non-binary people.”
But beyond her extreme leftist political views, many of Maher’s statements reflect on her time leading the parent foundation of Wikipedia. Her comments about a “free and open” Wikipedia where multiple sides of an argument could be presented to users actually being a “white male Westernized construct” are eye opening, and explain how Wikipedia became a cesspit of fringe leftist beliefs where any balance or conservative viewpoints are immediately crushed.

And:
“Perhaps for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth might not be the right place to start,” Maher said during the TED Talk. “In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.”

She'll go far.

Why taxpayers are funding
8 cups of leftist propaganda
24 oz woke-ism
12 slices of victimhood
Two large cans of gender dysmorphia
a teaspoon of real news
stirred and served with hushed-type whisper female voices

funded mostly by the corporation for public broadcasting and listener donations. I wonder what their Agenda is, not money, not corporate influence, don't promote political candidates, don't promote one party over the other, and gave us Click and Clack "Car Talk".
I am not sure what the beef is here.

From the Hill, "NPR may receive little direct federal funding, but a good deal of its budget comprises federal funds that flow to it indirectly by federal law."
Per the 1967 Public Broadcasting act, funds are given by the government through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which is overseen by presidential appointees. And that's where NPR gets it's indirect funds from the government but still originating from the government. Another government shell game.
Why not tell the whole story?

The only thing she's guilty of is saying what everyone else on the left believes out loud. They all loath the Constitution and consider it their greatest impediment to being able to imprison their ideological foes for expressing the wrong opinion and don't think for a second they would hesitate to do so once give the power. The leftist scum who run NPR didn't put her in charge because they didn't realize she was an America hating Marxist, it was exactly because of that that someone with zero news experience magically got put in charge of what's still at least pretending to be a news organization.
