I don't agree -- NPR is about as center-right as it's possible to be. Just look at the efforts they've made to normalize Trump, it's way over the top.

And nonetheless it's an important voice to have since it will leave a void in the media landscape to be filled by opportunists.
Oh, I agree, don't get me wrong. I'm just kinda shocked people think it is leftist. It's like they have no idea what the term means (it's not "left of my personal beliefs").
So true, it is so telling that everyone complaining about it is a conservative...
I've seen leftist complaints about NPR - they take corporate sponsorships after all
The right in the US is so far right that centrism looks like communism to some people. NPR and PBS are far more influenced by their corporate donors than they are the political leanings of their audience.
What I said about NPR might apply to some of their listeners as well: "What makes it most annoying is their utter blindness to their own bias."
