Sen. Ted Cruz grills 'complicit' Corporation for Public Broadcasting providing funding to scandal-plagued NPR
Fox News
In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tx., grilled the CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting over its provided funding of NPR.
The letter, first obtained by Fox News Digital, outlined the findings from the bombshell essay penned by ousted NPR editor Uri Berliner, who exposed the far-left ideological takeover of NPR's newsroom.

"NPR’s persistent refusal to acknowledge its myriad journalistic errors, much less correct them, reveals a deep-seated partisanship. It also eviscerates the foundational trust and integrity expected of a public broadcaster," Cruz wrote, later adding, "This partisanship is all the more concerning because NPR benefits from federal funding allocated through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Such funding obligates NPR to a higher standard of journalistic integrity that represents the American public’s diverse perspectives. Unfortunately, NPR’s current trajectory signifies a stark deviation from these principles, facilitated by an internal culture that stifles viewpoint diversity, as well as management with a history of overt partisanship."
