					<description><![CDATA[Cornflour is more correct here than Neo:
&quot;he had burned his bridges and probably would have to resign.&quot;

Nobody in America needs to resign -- even Nixon didn&#039;t &quot;need&quot; to resign, as Bill Clinton did not.
I understand keeping your head down for the career.  Or, after leaving, writing a tell-all expose.  But if you&#039;re trying to fight the problem, be honest with yourself that you&#039;re fighting -- and make them fire you.

Like Google fired James Damore, wrongly, and the Dem dominated courts said it was OK.  Google firing Damore and getting sued was a bit of punishment for Google, and far more than if Damore had resigned.

At this point, all those who support Free Speech against rampant wokism, and are willing to fight, should fight thru the system and become a bigger martyr.  Uri could have, and should have, been suing NPR for hostile work environment after whatever pressure they were using against him, with documentation &#038; recordings (/maybe),  The pressure to resign is likely to be seen in any jury trial as a &quot;hostile work environment&quot; -- and even with a bad court decision, the trial will be somewhat punishing.  
Could be that finding a lawyer willing to do this is tough -- but I&#039;d guess he didn&#039;t even try the legal approach.  And more conservatives need to be willing to fight in the courts, and even fight and lose.

He could do that, as could every conservative Professor in any college, including Amy Wax (maybe).  The claim should be that NPR oppresses him, excludes him instead of including him, and opposes his diverse opinions.  

I would have called him a wuss, but a f*ck speech becomes more normalized, all other vulgar or obscene words become acceptable, tho not some racist or sexist words. 

Republicans should be fighting for Diversity &#038; Inclusion in all tax-receiving orgs: 30% Republicans &#038; 30% Democrats should be &quot;included&quot; to insure &quot;diversity&quot;.  Or else they stop getting taxpayer funds, or tax exemptions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When on the road, I listened to various public, which is to say university stations, for classical music. Then, at five, comes National Public Radio. Due to two or three particular interests or patches of life history, I knew a fair amount about some of the subjects. Not only were they wrong, or incomplete, it was invariably in support of a far left goal. Decades ago.

					<description><![CDATA[Several people have been doing a deep dive into Maher&#039;s social media history, and one of the tidbits they found is a comment made by Maher, seeing Berliner as an adversarial problem to be addressed, shortly after she was hired as CEO.  I would think that Berliner would have been aware of such unfriendly attention.

So I conclude that he wrote and published the piece knowing that this reaction was likely, and now that he has it, a graceful and gracious exit will best serve his future lawsuit for wrongful termination and a hostile workplace.

NPR&#039;s and PBS&#039;s viewership has been on the decline for some time, so I don&#039;t think it&#039;s accurate to say that this episode won&#039;t lose them viewers.  And I would also point out that, even in the NYT&#039;s coverage of this story, the majority of commenters are solidly in the category of former listeners or disaffected listeners that do NOT like the programming now, and miss the good old days of higher-caliber issues with higher-quality journalistic coverage.  It was surprising to read all of those comments.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;...photographer and artist Gert &lt;b&gt;Berliner&lt;/b&gt;...&lt;/i&gt;

That name and profession jumped out at me. One of my favorite indie films is &quot;High Art&quot; about a fictional, Jewish, avant-garde NYC photographer named Lucy Berliner.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Art

The film is directed by Lisa Cholodenko, of Ukrainian Jewish extraction. Lucy Berliner is transparently based on Nan Goldin, an American Jewish photographer, who made astonishing photography of the 70s/80s NYC underground.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nan_Goldin 

Anyway. I suspect that Lucy Berliner was a hat tip to Gert Berliner, Uri Berliner&#039;s father. The film has a wonderful scene in which Berliner&#039;s mother, played by Tammy Grimes(!), goes on and on about Lucy&#039;s relationship to a German :-) woman.

I don&#039;t know &quot;High Art&quot; is quite the film here. Still, recommended.]]></description>
