Uri Berliner, suspended after his Free Press essay that said the nation had lost trust in the public broadcaster, announced Wednesday he is leaving the network.

Uri Berliner, the veteran NPR journalist who publicly accused his employer of liberal bias, has resigned from the network. Berliner posted a message Wednesday on the social media platform X with his resignation letter to the public broadcaster's chief executive Katherine Maher. 'I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years,' Berliner wrote. 'I don't support calls to defund NPR.

But he believes progressive advocacy seeped into the network's coverage of Trump and other topics such as the Israel-Hamas war, the origins of COVID-19 and the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Berliner's polemic was promoted by conservative critics of NPR, which led to the resurfacing of politically charged social media posts from Maher.
