oc, why, of course if you are talking about news or money programs. Increasingly, NPR and other public radio stations are funded by corporate sponsors: insurance companies, natural gas, gas corps, financial groups, etc. For instance, Planet Money has a big financial group sponsor. Then there are foundations and the people who make up their boards and who and what groups those folks are closely associated with. Hefty corporate money can and does control how the topic is treated....gloss over or avoid awkward/controversial issues while at the same time draw a happy face on that issue.
btw, NPR isn't the liberals' sacred cow that you think it is. Many have stopped listening to certain shows or hosts in recent years as it became more evident how much they were leaving out of the stories.
I do love "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" and other shows that are either entertainment or are actually educational. There's still a lot I like to listen to on public radio.
