Yeah idk why you’re upvoted, unless I’m missing something. The articles you linked(could only read the first as the 2nd is behind a paywall) only talk about how much slower NPRs coverage may become due to the backstops. Nothing implies that they have become unreliable news.
I’m unconvinced that NPR is unreliable based on your info. I listen to their planet money, the 1A, and the indicator broadcasts. The 1A especially has recently been openly and bluntly criticizing the fascists movements of Trump/Republicans. The indicator and planet money are more economics focused (rather than politically focused than 1A ) but even they will criticize Republican actions if it doesn’t align with economic theories.
I have no issues with 1A, that program has always been very progressive and fair. My main issue is with Morning Edition, and some segments they did on All Things Considered over the past couple years.
It just seems that it’s not in the best interest of NPR to have anonymous donors gumming up the gears for their reporting.
