Not a good look for NPR.

NPR suspends veteran editor as it grapples with his public criticism
UPDATED APRIL 16, 202411:27 AM ET
by David Folkenflik

NPR has formally punished Uri Berliner, the senior editor who publicly argued a week ago that the network had "lost America's trust" by approaching news stories with a rigidly progressive mindset.

Berliner's five-day suspension without pay, which began last Friday, has not been previously reported.

The Free Press article appeared last week.
