For those outside the US who don’t understand the fuss about NPR:
It:
1) Is federally funded
2) Is conspicuously partisan and vehemently ideological
3) Has a high % of listeners who vote
4) Spreads absurdities masquerading as virtues
5) Has betrayed the public’s trust

Furthermore, NPR at one time was very respected, with extremely high quality production values. Best in the business, I'd argue. There was a time when I regarded it as superior to BBC in terms of quality.
