This story begins earlier this month when Katherine Maher, the CEO of National Public Radio, testified before a congressional committee where she got caught basically lying about past positions she's taking on political and social issues.
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan was among Republicans who handed the NPR chief just enough rope to string herself up with. In this example Jordan ripped apart Katherine Maher's response about political bias at NPR:
