There's Been an Interesting Update in the NPR Saga

This week, Townhall covered how NPR faced federal funding cuts. 

A former NPR CEO even admitted that “In many cases, I have long believed that mixing journalism and federal funding is just a recipe for disaster, so in many ways I think this is an opportunity for a reset.”

On Tuesday, news broke that Edith Chapin, NPR’s top editor, would step down. She’s also the acting chief content officer (via NPR):

Chapin says the choice was hers and not driven by the action in Congress. In a brief interview, she says she surprised NPR CEO Katherine Maher with her decision two weeks ago.

"I have had two big executive jobs for two years and I want to take a break. I want to make sure my performance is always top-notch for the company," Chapin says. She says she expects to stay at NPR until September or October.

News of Chapin’s departure was first reported by The New York Times.

The package passed by Congress that included the cuts to funding was part of President Donald Trump’s agenda. 

“This bill tonight is part of continuing that trend of getting spending under control. Does it answer all the problems? No. Nine billion dollars, I would say, is a good start, and hopefully we do more things like this,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA).

Editor's Note: The mainstream media continues to deflect, gaslight, spin, and lie about President Trump, his administration, and conservatives.
