State Dept defends human rights abuse report changes, says streamlined process eliminates 'political bias'
Fox News
A senior State Department official condemned NPR for "misleading and misguided" reporting on the Trump administration's restructuring of the 2024 Human Rights Report.
Fox News Digital is told the 2024 Human Rights Report has been restructured to remove redundancy, increase readability, and return the focus to human rights abuses – instead of a "laundry list of politically biased demands and assertions."

"NPR’s report that the State Department is scaling back the Human Rights Report is misleading and misguided," a senior State Department official told Fox News Digital. "This year’s modifications are critical for removing report redundancy, increasing readability, maintaining consistency to U.S. statutes, and returning focus to human rights issues rather than political bias."
