GOP senators air 'deep concerns' over NPR bias, urge CEO to ‘start a course correction’
Fox News
A group of Republican senators urged the CEO of NPR to course-correct the publication following revelations of its lack of ideological diversity in the newsroom.
In the letter, also signed by Republican conference Chairman John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Bill Cassidy, R-La., Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, and Eric Shmitt, R-Mo., they stressed that NPR's "National leadership has allowed and cultivated an environment where ideological bias not only creeps in but takes center stage."
