> Can you cite specific examples of this "bias?"

Read https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-tru... by NPR veteran that shows how NPR developed a left wing bias over time. Also at https://archive.is/H7QNM

NPR Has Zero Republicans, 87 Democrats on Editorial Staff

If you are going to reference Uri's interview, you should also reference the response from his former colleagues:

Why would anyone care about A's criticism of competitor B?

FWIW:

"The Washington Stand is Family Research Council’s outlet for news and commentary from a biblical worldview. The Washington Stand is based in Washington, D.C. and is published by FRC, whose mission is to advance faith, family, and freedom in public policy and the culture from a biblical worldview. We invite you to stand with us by partnering with FRC."

eyeroll. Might want to look at the original article by the NPR veteran himself which was the first one posted, but has a paywall. The Washington Stand only elaborated it. Argue based on the facts and merits of the article.

I read Uri's piece ages ago. n=1

I also read the rebuttal from his former colleaques. n=15 (?)

It's just another entertainment industry food foght.

"NPR Has Zero Republicans, 87 Democrats on Editorial Staff"

How many "Republicans" applied?

I guess they expect NPR to have diversity hires to meet republican quotas now?

Of-course, I am sure a government funded 100%-republican news and broadcasting agency with news pieces spouting right-wing talking points trotted out with regularity would be fully accepted as an excellent use of taxpayer money in the public interest by democratic politicians.

Undoubtedly that's the reason for the under-representation of women as Fortune 500 CEO's. They're just not applying.

The difference is that being a republican is an ideology you choose. Republicans can stop being republicans at any time - but they don't, they continue, because they enjoy being republican.

What I mean is, republicans choose to be ideologically opposed to journalism and ideologically opposed to education. Why would they become journalists? They hate journalism, by choice.

Would applying be a personal and professional liability for women, the way doing so at NPR could very well be for a "Republican?"

How many "Republicans" apply for jobs in gay bars?

Nice false-equivalency attempt.

You're not making an actual argument.

You understand there are many gay republicans right?
