I love NPR but have been watching them slide right continually for most of my adult life. Then NPR outlets (not npr itself but still) took major donations from the Koch brothers.

still probably the most factual news outlet but I temper my expectations.

Trump wanting to end PBS, NPR etc., calling them fake news does keep me supporting my local station tho.

I stopped donating when they aided the DNC in ignoring Bernie in 2016.
