NPR is as much of a mouthpiece for the elite as any other mainstream media source. Their two top contributors are Lockhead Martin and Walmart, yet you don't hear many ads for them over the air, so how is NPR paying them back for their contributions? That would be maintaining the Overton window and publishing stories that support the military industrial complex and neo-liberal agendas.

My attempts to discuss NPR's shortcomings in an apolitical way are off to a terrible start.

I don't really take my comment to be that political. More about corporate control of the power structures. Is there something incorrect about my comment? Shouldn't root cause be discussed when talking about shortcomings? I do believe their emotional story telling is an intentional weakening to avoid hard hitting true journalism that challenges power structures.
Edit: ironic that the original comment was about NPR being too emotional and yet a discussion about factual details is emotionally down voted as "political".
