The announcement that National Public Radio is launching a reporting team to combat disinformation is being met with skepticism among conservatives and Republicans who have long accused the outlet of having a leftwing bias, including blatantly ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

On Friday, NPR’s executive editor, Terence Samuel, and editorial director, Nancy Barnes, sent a note to newsroom staff announcing that the outlet was launching a disinformation reporting team, and announcing the four staffers who will make up the team.
