Your source for mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.
As Lie-Able makes its return, news broke in the news environment, as an editor inside National Public Radio revealed insider details. Uri Berliner, a longtime executive editor at NPR, delivered a column exposing the internal bias and activities seen over the years, leading to a diminished audience and a decidedly slanted approach to the news.
Berliner showed not just a shift in the coverage but how his attempts through time to bring to light the issues leading to problems had been met with apathy and inactivity. The reaction from those at NPR to this column has been amusing and revealing. Denial and delusion have been the main response. Oh, and Berliner was punished with a suspension for being honest at a news network
Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem and malpractice.

New CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher, delivers her comments on the Berliner column, ignoring almost all of his points.
As NPR figures deny their partisanship, a reminder of their coverage is in order.
With little in the way of surprises, Berliner has been suspended by the network.
Katherine Maher’s left-wing social media past is being exposed.
Try to imagine the reaction if a news network CEO was found wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
