NPR's editor in chief and acting chief content officer Edith Chapin told colleagues Tuesday morning that she has decided to step down.
The veteran news leader's announcement comes just days after the Republican-led Congress, driven largely by President Trump's claims of liberal bias at NPR, voted to strip public broadcasting of all federal funding.
Once again, for those in the cheap seats: If you want to know why journalism -- real journalism -- is perceived as having a liberal slant, it's because our fucking job is to question everything.
Journalism is not toeing the party line. It's not holding back on investigations because someone in power might get pissed off.
That's the job.
