What's NPR doing wrong? Are they redirecting to the text-only version for EU IPs or something?

I looked at it with an EU proxy, it gives you the choice to either consent or go to the text-only version.

They may have just done that as a cheap and easy way to comply with the new regulations while they wait for the dust to settle. Especially since the text-only version already existed.

Also, I wonder how much of Washington Post and NPR's revenue comes from Europeans. It might not even make sense for them to spend resources to be more precise in their compliance.
