First, a shout out to The No Agenda Show for discussing her, as I hadn’t been that interested in the liberal CEO stories regarding NPR (no real news there), but just look at her Wikipedia page and definitely a spook. Given fellow spook Elon Musk is attacking her, it must be a stunt to stir people up and probably have them not pay attention to the bill they’re trying to get passed to spy on Americans without a warrant, violating the constitution. And of course people are calling for defunding NPR which is a terrible product popular with young teachers, so is that a propaganda coincidence? And if you use the Signal messenger application, notice her as chair of the board of directors for their foundation which should give you pause. Turned out this was a very interesting person that took over the helm of NPR, and you could see them putting the WEF Young Global Leader in charge to make sure their propaganda dollars are well spent. And not just government dollars, as it’s a OCGFC who’s who of foundations that also fund this propaganda outlet (2018 philanthropic list below).
Katherine Roberts Maher (/mɑːr/;[1] born April 18, 1983)[2] is an American businesswoman. She is the chief executive officer (CEO) and president of National Public Radio (NPR) since March 2024, having succeeded John Lansing.[3] Prior to NPR, she was the CEO of Web Summit and chair of the board of directors at the Signal Foundation. She transitioned to the role of non-executive chairperson at Web Summit in March 2024.[4][5] She is a former chief executive officer and executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation.[6][7][8]
A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Maher worked for UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute, the World Bank and Access Now before joining the Wikimedia Foundation. She subsequently joined the Atlantic Council and the US Department of State‘s Foreign Affairs Policy Board.

Just look through the Philanthropic Supporters of NPR in 2018 and all the OCGFC foundations and government organizations that give money to NPR. I noticed the Seth MacFarlane Foundation below and looked up his Wikipedia page, and that’s an incredible amount of work he’s been involved with which doesn’t happen without being incredibly connected (who knew he also did music). Consequently, he’s not married, staunch Demonrat supporter and all for gay rights… Satanist who made a deal with the devil?
