When Truth Becomes Demeaning

NPR Takes Much-Needed Step to End Journalism

This one blows my mind.

Everyone knows NPR is way WAY out on the left. The more conservative or religious you are–the fairer you are–the harder it is to listen. No fair-minded person can listen and fail to have the bias jump out at him, like an air horn in an orchestra. It is not reasonable to question the obvious fact that NPR is in the tank for the left.

I guess most conservatives are aware that a CURRENT editor at NPR, a well-regarded employee named Uri Berliner, just produced an essay decrying NPR’s unfairness. Notable fact presented in the essay: NPR has 87 editors, and precisely 0 are not leftists. That’s diversity in Bizarro World. I used to joke that “diversity” meant “getting rid of all the conservative white males,” but my joke has been destroyed in that it has become an objective description of reality.

Thank goodness for the flat Earth conspiracy theory. At least there is one conspiracy theory that won’t turn out to be true.

If you’re here, you have probably read his essay already, so there is no point in going over it line by line. You may also have read the bizarre, emotional, vengeful, punitive, objectively and demonstrably incorrect response written by NPR CEO Katherine Maher. Yes, she’s a woman. She had to be, because she’s white. They would never have hired a white male. Unless maybe he was gay. Or he wore dresses.

In an astonishing display of self-unawareness, in the safety of her bubble, Maher sent a message out to everyone at NPR, and instead of countering Berliner’s facts, she said:

Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.

Unbelievable! I thought I was used to the craziness now, but this is like a sharp slap in the face with a large, cold fish. I’m awake again!

1. “Disrespectful.” This means, “How dare you challenge our arrogance? You will pay. You will learn who you are and who I am on the corporate totem pole, little cis man.”

2. “Hurtful.” This means she is angry, not hurt. Someone rolled the rock over, and the biggest bug under the rock is mad because the sun hurt her eyes. Someone put foam sheets on the walls of the echo chamber. She is not “hurt” at all, and neither is anyone else. They’re just furious and ready to dispense payback.

3. “Demeaning.” This is a clumsy libel intended to put a truthful man on the defensive. It’s a deliberate lie intended to shift the blame to the innocent. It’s gaslighting. Berliner didn’t demean anyone. There are meme artists for that.

Based on the facts that he’s a leftist who got along fine with everyone at NPR for years, and that he was advanced to a high position there, Berliner is probably a jerk, but Maher’s attack on him is completely evil and dishonest, and it was intended to help NPR continue to harm conservatives and Christians, so in this instance, we should defend him.

People have a funny tendency to overembrace their enemies when their interests intersect. Right now, a lot of conservatives are saying John Fetterman is a great guy. No, he isn’t. He’s just a Jew who got mad because his pals on the left were assisting in the destruction of Israel. That doesn’t make him Trump cabinet material.

We have to learn to be non-binary. About some things.

I was disturbed by Maher’s insane, retributive message, but today I’m even more disturbed, because she has SUSPENDED HIM WITHOUT PAY.

How much more blatant can the discrimination be? What else do we need? Torches? Pitchforks? A guillotine? A pile of brush and a stake?

A woman in charge of one of the nation’s most prominent “journalism” organizations just SUSPENDED A MAN FOR DOING JOURNALISM.

That is literally his only crime.

He didn’t steal files. He didn’t catch people on hidden cameras. He didn’t lie to anyone. I’m sure he didn’t violate the terms of his employment, unless shilling for NPR no matter what is a term. Until this week, he was an admired employee in good standing. He has done absolutely nothing wrong. To the contrary, risking his job, his financial stability, and the loss of most of his friends, he has done exactly what journalists are required to do. He bravely exposed very damaging corruption at an organization which, as policy, defaults on its obligations of good faith. An organization which does the opposite of its purpose. They’re supposed to disseminate truth, and instead, they fight the truth every day.

Wow. The baseness of the human race could not be displayed more strikingly. It’s like we’re a reality show, and Joseph Heller writes the scripts.

The absurdity of this woman’s response can’t be heightened in any way. She left no room. She has literally punished a man for doing good journalism.

Let’s say he’s wrong. He’s not, but it doesn’t matter. A journalist does not punish another journalist for disagreeing with her. I just don’t have the energy to explain this obvious fact. Everyone knows it’s true.

We should burn the works of absurdist playwrights. Ionesco and Giraudoux, au revoir. Reality has left you in the dust. Every DC comic featuring Bizarro should be destroyed. Comparing Earth to Bizarro World is becoming like comparing Somalia to Switzerland.

Spirit-based delusion is everywhere. People can’t get this stupid without the help of demons. And what did Isaiah say?

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

“Woe” sounds quaint, but it’s not something you want. It means terrible suffering. Like the suffering that will come during the tribulation, which the liars and nuts are hastening with their willful dishonesty and cruelty. Woe means things like starving, dying in nuclear blasts, and watching your crops being completely destroyed. Sodom and Gomorrah experienced woe.

I would say this woman should be fired, but what good would it do? If we had killed Hitler, we would still have had Goering, Himmler, and Goebbels. If we had killed Saddam Hussein right away, we would still have had his sons. One person is not the problem. If we kill Kim Jong Un, we will still have to fight his sister, who is said to be worse. The problem is an Earth covered with a stinking soup of Yeshua-haters and truth-haters.

There are at least 86 people at NPR who can probably be trusted to continue doing what Maher is doing. The one who might resist is on suspension.

Not only is humanity getting nuttier; it is becoming immune to embarrassment about being nutty.

Man, I can’t wait for the rapture. I really hope I will be here during the millennium. To all of you who are still mired in blue states and cities, I have to tell you you’re making a mistake that will harm you and your children as long as you persist. You have forgotten what life among normal people is like, and while you may think you’re doing fine because you resist, you’re not.

During the millennium, the whole world will be a red state.

I guess we’ll have fewer guns, but on the other hand, why would we want them in a world ruled by King Yeshua and his obedient children?

Maybe he’ll let us keep Bass Pro. I love that place. When you step inside, it reminds you there are little isolated cysts full of sanity all over America.

I should buy a popcorn machine. Watching this corrupt phase of the world’s existence end without popcorn just feels wrong.
