🚨 BREAKING: NPR’s GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DEI policies EXPOSED!
The Senate just voted to cut funding for NPR. Why should you care?
Among other things:
NPR admits to tracking the race of its employees and, incredibly, its SOURCES used to give you the ‘news.’
Your tax dollars are hard at work pushing an agenda, not reporting the news. 🧵
/2 Focused on “inclusive storytelling” (instead of “accurate reporting”), NPR tracks the demographics of its news sources in order to achieve its “newsroom mission” “to look and sound like America.”
THEY ARE RACIALLY BALANCING THEIR NEWS SOURCES!
/3 Translation: NPR is basing which stories it covers, runs, and airs on the basis of skin color and sex of the sources of their stories. But don’t just take our word for it. They openly admit it.
This News Source Tracking initiative appears to have resulted in a 16% drop in the number of white news sources since 2013 while black sources have been the primary beneficiary.
/4 Is tracking the race of sources affecting NPR’s reporting on critical issues? NPR states that people of color make up 3 out of every 4 sources in stories about race.
/5 NPR is committed to matching the demographics of its news sources to the United States adult population — not the real world availabilty of diverse or on-point sources.
/6 While available NPR news source demographic data is only available until 2021, NPR’s website suggests that it continues today.
/7 In addition to implementing race-based quotas for its news sources, NPR also has injected DEI into all of its operations:
At NPR, “diversity is not a special project — it is our core work.”
/8 What does “Diversity” mean to NPR? It means considering “race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity . . .”
/9 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion — including race considerations — are “Core Values” that NPR allows to influence its HIRING, AUDIENCE, and WORPLACE.
/10 To further its DEI priorities, NPR also states that it tracks the promotion rates of racial groups within its workforce.
/11 These diversity-focused policies appear to have achieved their intended effect:
A rise in the representation of people of color corresponding with a decrease in the representation of white employees.
/12 Why is publicly-funded NPR using race to affect its workforce and news sources — and how is this affecting NPR’s reporting?
/13 So what?
- NPR is using YOUR taxpayer dollars to discriminate against Americans on a number of factors, including race.
- Facts don't matter to NPR if they come from a source with the "wrong" skin color.
- NPR appears to engage in blatant racial classifications and discrimination in its own hiring.
