I worked in NPR’s extremist ‘bubble’ for 25 years… we looked down on normal Americans

When Uri Berliner began his career at National Public Radio 25 years ago, he did so with a sense of pride and the knowledge that his stories would be heard in all corners of the nation.

‘One of the things I found really kind of inspiring was, if I worked on a story, there might be a farmer in Nebraska on his tractor first thing in the morning listening to, you know, a story I worked on,’ he told the Daily Mail.

‘That was one of the reasons I wanted to work at NPR, because of its reach to all kinds of people. But, you know, I don’t know that farmer still listens.’
