It's NPR, gotta give both sides equal time.

Isn’t NPR the glaring exception?
Imagine getting your news from NPR.
I watch/listen to a variety of news sources - CNN, Fox News, NPR, NYTimes, WSj, as well as a number of smaller podcasts and substacks.There are no longer "unbiased" news sources, all sources have moved to either the left or right.I used to have respect for NPR, today it is, to me, the Fox News of the left, and no different than other sources. I do not have a problem with that, it is what it is. But it should not be funded with taxpayer money.Try listening to the president
NPR is a popular source of news.
How would you describe NPR's bias?

Same exact sentiment for NPR, even though it's not completely funded by public funds.
npr gets like 2% of its funding from public sources, despite being national public radio. they're as beholden to moneyed and corporate interests as nytimes, and as partisan and outrage-oriented too. i stopped donating years ago.
