If an organization is subsidized by government it cannot use its power

You can call me whatever you like. Please provide refutation, if you
have any, to my contention that NPR is politically neutral. Please give
examples of NPR openly advocating a person or position, without
providing a discussion of the opposition.

I beg to differ with you. I listen to NPR on a daily basis. They are one
of the most informative, yet left wing media sources on the radio.

Commentary, by definition, is supposed to be subjective.

As far as hard news goes, please provide 2 examples of NPR manipulating

NPR & PBS Bias # 1 Panels :

NPR's {PBS's} Un-Fair and Un-Balanced is having a
Liberal Activist Proponent and a Moderate {Me-Too
or Well-I-Don't Know} on one of their discussion panels.

What is Missing [MIA] at NPR {PBS} is a real honest
Conservative Activist Proponent who clearly articulates
the Right Perspective on Issues -versus- a Moderate
that is there only as window dressing.

NPR & PBS Bias # 2 The Host and Moderators :

There are All liberal, Liberal. LIBERALS !

NPR 2400+ "Public" Radio Stations Promoting
Left-Wing 'Liberal' Propaganda ~ RHF

which is de-facto us government support for a
left-wing 'liberal' propaganda.
