I'm nearly entirely sure that with his Free Press essay, what he thought he was doing was attempting to make NPR better.

I don't think that came as a surprise to him, either. Last-ditch effort to confirm his decision.

For the moment. from little acorns..
I think there is a growing realization of journalism's current status as quite near propaganda, and a thirst for honest coverage.

I’m sure his exit was planned before writing the letter.

He would have to be a mentally ill attention whore on the level of a Dylan Mulvaney to want to work for a place where he'll be hated.

"We strive to do this by being truly open to a "diversity of viewpoints," and wish to continue doing so without having our journalistic integrity called into question by one of our own colleagues."
In the comments, someone says: "The end is hysterical. They really think they’re open to a “diversity of viewpoints” while demanding protection from any viewpoint that disagrees with them."

The editors at National Review:

I'm not defending NPR, but even if they were unbiased, everybody would still say they were biased.
How does one define 'the middle'? The lefties currently running NPR would probably consider me a right-winger. Some people would undoubtedly think I'm a communist, when clearly I'm a centralist with an abundance of common sense.
