National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher defended her network against longstanding allegations of political bias during an appearance on CNN News Central Thursday, asserting that NPR is a non-partisan outlet despite years of criticism and scrutiny over its editorial choices and public statements by its leadership.
Her comments came the same day the U.S. Senate passed President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package, which includes significant cuts to foreign aid and eliminates appropriated funding for a public broadcasting nonprofit that supports both NPR and PBS.
