New NPR CEO Katherine Maher tried to rally the troops on Friday with a memo to staff that vaguely attacked NPR senior editor Uri Berliner’s expose of the taxpayer-funded network’s viewpoint diversity. She never actually mentioned Berliner, or seemed to engage with his overall argument.
Instead, she vaguely expressed insult at Berliner noting the existence of a pile of identity groups among the employees: “Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.”
