New NPR CEO Gave Ted Talk Asserting "Truth" Is A "Distraction" https://www.zerohedge.com/political/new-npr-ceo-gave-ted-talk-asserting-truth-distraction New NPR CEO Katherine Maher gave a Ted Talk during which she asserted that “truth” is a “distraction” which is “getting in the way of getting things done. Calls are growing for NPR to have its government funding withdrawn after a series of tweets by Maher were uncovered in which she supported far-left causes, including endorsing racial reparations and making claims that the planet is “burning.” But the content of the Ted Talk she gave is raising even more eyebrows. Maher ludicrously suggested during the speech that far-left Wikipedia had a model “which actually works really well” in determining “what the truth really is.” Acknowledging that Wikipedia writers are “not focused on the truth, they’re focused on something else, which is the best of what we can know right now,” Maher suggested the “truth” was not a priority.
