NPR editor who criticized the network is suspended; NPR CEO’s tweets — 18 Comments

  1. The new Empress (of Truth) has no clothes. She does Only Fans for the Party?

    Is there a National Public Podcast she can shill for?

  2. Four years ago, she was already 37. She’d already had responsible positions in a variety of non-profits. A world that goes after people for things they posted in high school shouldn’t let her off for things she posted when she should have known better.

    One of her positions was at Wikimedia. As Wikipedia itself informs us: “Maher also made strides in diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) by increasing women editors by more than 30% in her final year.” Was hiring more people like herself really likely to increase diversity? How likely was it that her new hires were really discriminated against or excluded from anything?

    By now it’s probably known that her father was with Goldman, Sachs and her mother is a Connecticut state senator (Democrat, of course) representing very rich towns like Westport, Darien, New Canaan, and Wilton. If Katherine Maher ever heard any opinions different from her own she may never have taken them seriously.

  3. Possibly coincidental, but probably not:
    ATC anchor Mary Louise Kelly’s voice is decidedly militaristic.

  4. Matt Taibbi put up a very amusing post (subscription required) today reviewing Maher’s holiday X posts over the years. Thanksgiving, for example: “Made it through dinner. Zero turkeys sacrificed to the racist uncles.” (2017) Further, “Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday, but knowing what it represents complicates celebration. I spent this morning reading about the #LandBack movement and other forms of solidarity with Native communities.” (2020)

    She holds leftist “truths” to be self-evident and has suspended a long-time (liberal) editor for pointing out that NPR has made news coverage decisions based on which political party would be helped or hurt.

  5. Much like the bbc or france 24
    im guessing

    Yes gigo all the way ‘enemy of the people’

  6. All Things Commie has a militaristic female?

    Shocked.

    Truly shocking.

    Maybe she’s another “trained Marxist” like Patrice Colours of Buy Large Mansions (BLM).

  7. Empowered woke feminists like Katherine Maher are the same womyn in key positions at Disney, Lucasfilm and Marvel these days.

    They are not going to loosen their grips on their agenda until bankruptcy pries their cold dead hands away.

    It’s coming. Or close enough.

  8. Yes kathleen kennedy was the molina character from raiders but like the lamia of legend one they are done whats left

  9. People online are comparing Maher to the fictional Titania McGrath, but I also see similarities to Taylor Lorenz, who came from a similar background to Maher.

    A few years back, social media posts from “Teen Vogue” staffers (and maybe “Vogue” staffers) made the news. The diverse young staffers had a real dislike for old White males and didn’t hide their glee at the OWMs being displaced. I’d be surprised if there were that many old White males (straight or otherwise) working at “Teen Vogue,” but what stood out was the purge mentality.

    The Old Bolsheviks were being ousted to make room for the young who had grown up under the new regime. Was much more than tribalism and rank careerism really involved? I think one of the staffers was Black. Another was Asian Indian, and I had the feeling that she was glomming on to somebody else’s uprising, but today’s woke revolution allows even privileged White women like Katherine Maher to feel like tribunes of the oppressed.

    Tabletmag has a new article from Michael Lind:

    Blue Morning.
    Unchecked illegal border crossings, fading churches, disintegrating families, proliferating diversity deans, and worthless degrees will all help ensure that the American future will be largely miserable—and that the people who will inherit that future will be Democrats
    .

    It looks worth reading.

  10. She and others of her ilk are going to drive a stake through the heart of the organizations that have hired them. Justice will be served, as the day will come when it is time for their purging. The Leviathan always eats its own. She’s white and wealthy, which automatically makes her part of the ‘oppressor’ class.

  11. Can’t this stupid woman see the rot of civilization or will take an illegal alien stabbing her to death while stealing her iPhone.

  12. He seems to be somewhat of an old-fashioned liberal (or maybe an old-fashioned principled leftist), a rarity these days.

    The “principled leftist” in the link refers to Marc Cooper on Serbia/Yugoslavia/Milosevic. Marc Cooper is perhaps best known for his book, Pinochet and Me: A Chilean Memoir. Marc Cooper worked as a translator for Salvador Allende, so there is a bit 🙂 of bias in the memoir- which Cooper freely admits to. But as Cooper wrote, he is not trying to write an objective history.

    To Cooper’s credit, he writes about his Pinochet-supporting Chilean in-laws, which admits to the deep divisions in Chilean society. Just as the author Isabel Allende, whose first cousin first removed (President) Salvador acted as a surrogate father of sorts to her after her father disappeared, wrote in Paula that her father-in-law and maternal grandfather were supporters of the coup against Salvador Allende.

    By now it’s probably known that her father was with Goldman, Sachs and her mother is a Connecticut state senator (Democrat, of course) representing very rich towns like Westport, Darien, New Canaan, and Wilton. If Katherine Maher ever heard any opinions different from her own she may never have taken them seriously.

    Ah yes, she is one of the CT Gold Coasters. There is an interesting electoral factoid about the CT Gold Coast. From the 2012 to the 2016 Presidential elections, the Democrat share of CT’s vote fell 3.6% (58.1% to 54.5%). The CT Gold Coast Towns, Wilton included, bucked this trend. For example, in Maher’s hometown of Wilton, Hillary’s vote was 13.1% higher than Obama’s. Here are the five CT towns with the highest Hillary vs. Obama percentages.

    Darien 18.5%
    New Canaan 17.9%
    Weston 13.5%
    Wilton 13.1%
    Greenwich 13.1%

    Here are their ranks in CT per capita income.

    2 Darien
    3 New Canaan
    5 Weston
    7 Wilton
    6 Greenwich

    Wealth and virtue go hand-in-hand. Wealth and wokeness.

  14. Matt Taibbi on Katherine Maher:

    “It’s true Maher was not working in journalism when she posted the controversial messages. In fact, she’s never worked in journalism, which is very obviously the bigger problem when examining someone’s fitness to run a public news network with over 1000 member stations. Maher’s been a WEF global leader, board member at Signal, banking manager at HSBC, a member of the Foreign Affairs Policy Board (FAPB) at the State Department, a fellow at the Truman National Security Project — pretty much everything but a journalist. The closest thing to a journalism job Maher held was chief communications officer at Wikimedia. In newsrooms such people are called flacks.”

  15. I myself, lowly retired railroad employee, am probably better read than this evil witch.
