The CEO of NPR plans not to give the Hunter Biden -laptop story the coverage it earned.
Katherine Maher, a progressive one who previously led Wikipedia before he started at NPR last year, made admission after he was ruthlessly grilled by Marjorie Taylor Greene on Capitol Hill about the alleged bias of the broadcaster.
“I want to say that NPR acknowledges that we have thought in not covering the Hunter Biden -laptop story more aggressively or earlier,” Maher said at a point Wednesday.
At a different moment in what already comes down to a hearing on federal financing, Greene Maher confronted on some of her more quirky announcements.
This included statements to social media before she was set up in 2020, who hit Donald Trump like a 'racist' – not to mention 'sociopath'.
When asked by Gop Rep. Tim Burchett to those tweets said Maher: “I regret those statements today.”
The rest of her statements bore a similar tone, in which the CEO admitted the outlet valve to 'do work' when it comes to reliable reporting.
PBS Baas Paula Kerger was also interrogated – although Maher seemed to be because of the composition of her staff and formerly politicized remarks, the victim led to a few recordings such as those around the laptop scandal that came up in 2020.

“Our current editorial leadership thinks this was a mistake,” Maher said about the failure of NPR to cover the controversy, after the owner of a computer store in Delaware said that the laptop had been left by the president's final president in October of that year.
