A Chicago Tribune editorial noted that the NPR essay showed journalists displaying a refusal to admit faults even after false reports like the Russia collusion story.

The NPR bombshell essay spotlighted things worse than liberal bias, the Chicago Tribune claimed. It exposed a refusal to be wrong. On Tuesday, NPR editor Uri Berliner issued a lengthy rebuke of NPR's media coverage of major news stories over the last few years, such as the Hunter Biden laptop and the COVID lab leak theory, and called out the outlet's 'efforts to damage' Trump's presidency.

' Part of the reason, the publication argued, included the 'chicken-and-egg segmentation of the audience' where progressive journalists are increasingly targeting an equally progressive audience. Another included a rejection of open-minded thinking, particularly for issues involving race or Donald Trump.
