NPR chief admits dismissing Hunter Biden laptop story was a mistake
Fox News
NPR CEO Katherine Maher admitted it was a mistake for her news organization to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop story when it first emerged during the 2020 election.

"I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner," Maher told Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas.
She later reiterated "we made a mistake" about not covering the laptop in a separate exchange with Rep. Brian Jack, R-Ga. Maher was named CEO of NPR in 2024, so she wasn't with the taxpayer-backed outlet at the time the story first broke.
