This Mediaite article is very one-sided---not necessarily wrong, but definitely one-sided. Ironically, I liked the NPR article by David Folkenflik that it links to better: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244962042/npr-editor-uri-berliner-suspended-essay https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244962042/npr-editor-uri-ber... Among other details in Folkenflik's piece is that the 5-day suspension without pay was part of a "final warning": In presenting Berliner's suspension Thursday afternoon, the organization told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets, as is required of NPR journalists. It called the letter a "final warning," saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR's policy again. I liked Berliner's response to a question of whether he was worried for being fired for not getting permission to talk to Folkenflik: Berliner says he did not get permission from NPR to speak with me for this story but that he was not worried about the consequences: "Talking to an NPR journalist and being fired for that would be extraordinary, I think." I guess we'll see how extraordinary NPR considers it.
