Katherine Mayer, CEO of NPR, is the prototypical postmodernist progressive living at the intersection of Muggeridge's Law and the Dunning Kruger Effect.
Another quote by Maher that is appropriate here: “In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that is getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.” 🙄😲 so common ground is found in falsehoods? Or perhaps “feelings”? Yeah, that will work.
While I kind of prefer to think they're doing this stuff deliberately (and no doubt some are), I've come to the conclusion that most are just plain clueless. I just read Bernard Goldberg's "Bias" (older, but still relevant, sadly), and his description is pretty much that they live in such a bubble they don't even know what they don't know and can't see it when it's pointed out.
I distinctly remember in 1982 agreeing with my friends who shared a house in Ann Arbor (one of whom worked full time at the local NPR station), agreeing that NPR's All Things Considered would have been more accurately named All Things Considered from a Leftist Perspective." It doesn't surprise me that NPR took over 40 years from then to address the issue. I have never met anyone in the years since who suggested that the shortened title was more appropriate.

Looks like she is no only Karen,but the blonde Kamala. Her statement on Truth is pure Kamala word salad. Funny but actually terrifying.
