Ironically, NPR is free. (Unless you support your local public broadcaster, which I do, since mine is pretty good.)

Yeah the article also seems like a little bit of a dig from a government-supported news source against corporate ones that charge money. Meant to come back & add that, but got distracted!

This document does not support this statement that NPR is government supported in any significant way. NPR is mostly supported by private corporate donations (about 40%) and dues and fees paid by local stations (about 30%). The remaining funding is from cash contributions from private citizens and a few other miscellaneous sources.
