Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio has placed a trigger warning on the Declaration of Independence, a move that demonstrates how hopelessly woke the station has become.
The news comes just weeks after a longtime employee blew the whistle on how the organization shifted to publishing far-left dribble after Donald Trump won in 2016.
As we reported earlier this month, an NPR top editor openly admitted that it refused to report on the Hunter Biden laptop story because it would have helped President Donald Trump win the election.
“Here’s how NPR’s managing editor for news at the time explained the thinking: ‘We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.'”
“But it wasn’t a pure distraction or a product of Russian disinformation,” Berliner wrote.
“The laptop did belong to Hunter Biden. Its contents revealed his connection to the corrupt world of multimillion-dollar influence peddling and its possible implications for his father.
“The laptop was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched,” he added.
Trump and other Republicans have since been calling for the station to be defunded due to their outright bias.
And now the station has placed a ‘trigger warning’ on the Declaration of Independence.
You couldn’t make it up.
NPR’s embrace of absolute wokeness is best symbolized by their decision to end the tradition of reading the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July. Archived versions now have this trigger warning: https://t.co/5vEZvcN5F3 pic.twitter.com/LTPCq1eyz0

NewsBusters reports:
The hopeless wokeness of tax-funded National Public Radio has been confirmed by NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner, who started shockwaves with his Free Press essay “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust” providing chapter and verse of how NPR had been taking over fully by the left, and as a result blowing several major stories like Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and dismissing the coronavirus lab leak theory.
For his whistleblowing efforts, the veteran journalist Berliner was suspended from NPR for five days before resigning…
One example of anti-American wokeness is the “editor’s note” NPR staff felt obliged to place on archived stories about its on-air reading every Independence Day of the Declaration of Independence in full, an honorable tradition apparently now consigned to the ash-heap of history.
