NPR bears great responsibility for pushing the US toward autocracy.
NPR has been unable to accurately convey, without bothsidesism, the dangers we face.
The effect is that NPR listeners are falsely reassured—they don't learn about how dangerous the moment is, how extreme conservatives have become. Because NPR doesn't state that clearly.
Related: A lot of NPR's income today comes from corporate ads.

Reagan-type conservatives in Australia and Britain identified the national broadcasters, the ABC and the BBC, as functioning to obstruct conservative agendas.
Their subsequent actions against those institutions have definitely had a negative effect.
AIUI both research most stories rather than presenting the media releases from media officers of the powerful, call out misconduct and corruption and don't do savvy, horserace, both-siding
Won't compare against Murdoch's kennel.
