If NPR isn't normatively on the left I'm not sure I know what is, but maybe your comparison is better.
I had a couple of my Sirius presets on Sirius Left and Fox News for a while to see how they compared. As you would expect, they're almost identical in the way they deliver the propaganda...err message. The only difference was the stance of the message. But NPR should not be lumped into that kind of programming. There's really no comparison.

'll take you at your word for the sake of argument. What if 3% made the difference between staying on the air and failing?
"'ll take you at your word for the sake of argument"
I don't Make Up Ideologically Perverted or outright lies:

"What if 3% made the difference between staying on the air and failing"
Your straw man, you solve it.
OK, ignore a real question. I understand, you know I'm probably right about my inference.
WC's "real" is real only in his ideological fantasy world.
When Gingrich's gang in the 90s went after CPB/NPR, they reacted by insulating themselves from right-wing defunding attacks. As a result
"ban federal funding of NPR, which was about $5 million in fiscal year 2010."
So the Repugs defend vehemently $2000M year tax expenditure for BigOil as vehemently as they attack $5M grant for NPR?
btw
Repugs, "What About The Jobs?"
Can you give examples of where NPR lies to the left?
It's well known that facts have a liberal bias.
LOL...
Was your wording intentional? If so, would disagree.
It's a quote from a great 21st century philosopher.
Who would that be?
edit/add
LOL...
I found who said it. A comedian. If you consider him a philosopher, then no wonder you're so screwed up.
Mr. Peabody... Things like that would be easier to find if accurately quoted. Was that intentional, or by accident? You know now don't you that it can discredit you to make inaccurate quotes...

Not Glenn Beck
Mr. Colbert's literary masterpiece, I Am America (And So Can You!), inspired a generation to believe. To believe in what? I don't know...
It's true greatness, however, lies in its unintended ambiguity. It's a charming yet subtlety ominous expression of modern society and the daunting challenges facing our youth, a true "tour de force", if you will. To dismissively call Mr. Colbert a comedian is to dismissively call Mr. Abraham Lincoln a lawyer.
I hope I've brought perspective to you.
If that's what you wish to believe.
Anyway, the accurate quote at 5:10
It's what I "feel".
If you want to believe his gut feelings are fact, then so be it.
I call it "faith".

Faith...
You mean like Jewish, Christians, Muslims, etc? A belief in something not tangible?
I prefer to think of it as the suspension of critical thinking. And it's something to be proud about in some political circles.
...or I could just be ing with you and you still don't get it.
You're right. I have a hard time 'dumbing down' for other people.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Education level of the target audience pretty much locks it in. Daniel Schorr, programming focus on socially-approved diversity and rational debate. NPR's bias is more expressed in style and programming choices than in journalistic spin. That's offered as a fan: I like NPR.
Are you suggesting NPR is politically neutral? If so, how naive.
Political bias and lying are two totally different things. All news outlets are politically biased.
