NPR's CEO has owned up to not giving the Hunter Biden laptop story the coverage it deserved.
Katherine Maher, an progressive who previously headed Wikipedia before starting at NPR last year, made the admission after being grilled relentlessly by Marjorie Taylor Greene on Capitol Hill about the broadcaster's alleged bias.
'I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively or sooner,' Maher said at a point Wednesday.
At another moment in what's already amounting to a bombshell hearing surrounding federal funding, Greene confronted Maher on some of her more opinionated announcements.
This included statements to social media before she was brought on back in 2020, which slammed Donald Trump as a 'racist' - not to mention 'sociopath.'
When asked by GOP Rep. Tim Burchett about those tweets, Maher said: 'I regret those statements today.'
The rest of her statements carried a similar tone, with the CEO conceding the outlet 'has work to do' when it comes to reliable reporting.
Also grilled was PBS boss Paula Kerger - though Maher appeared to bear the brunt of the beatdown.
