It described the notice as a “final warning,” saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR’s policy again, Folkenflik reported.
An NPR spokeswoman told CNN the outlet “does not comment on individual personnel matters, including discipline.” Berliner did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.
Other NPR staffers publicly rejected Berliner’s assessment in social media posts.
“Many things wrong w/terrible Berliner column on NPR, including not observing basic fairness,” NPR TV critic and media analyst Eric Deggans wrote.
On his Truth Social media platform, Trump called NPR a “LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE,” that “NOT ONE DOLLAR” of government funds should be sent to in the future.
