Besides the other definitions on this site, NPR will also forever be termed "left-wing new media" or something of the sort because for some reason conservatives condemn anything that doesn't come from the right.
The fact of the matter is there is more journalism and civil debate on this station than any of the conservative syndicated talk show. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage (who is the only one really worth listening to) have a lot of fire and wind, but it's punditry. And their interviewer tactics mostly consist of shouting at any kind of statement that is contrary to their agenda. I'm not making this up either. Just fucking listen.
And America forgets sometimes that the news is supposed to be collected by field reporters and experts, not the talking heads who issue their opinions and tell you what to think.

Man 1: What are you listening to?

Non-Photorealistic Rendering. In computer graphics, any style of 3D rendering that doesn't aim for photorealism.

Although a good source for news, their monotone voices and blah program texture make BBC correspondents sound like Barry White by comparison

One of the few truly independent news outlets in the USA. Arrogant right wing opinion mongers hate their balanced approach as there is no "agenda" to appease.
Rush: Where'd you get that in-depth understanding of a complicated issue?
Me: I heard it debated on NPR. Honorable people on both sides of the issue disagree.
Rush: Bah! They're all liberal degenerates.
Me: No, they're just free from conservative bias.

With the close of the NPR Comment Section for being too toxic, cultish, abusive, trollish, and generally a small group of OAF centrist-democrats who harassed everyone who was left or right of them, regardless if it was for real or imagined disagreement, centered on socieopathic and narcissistic OAFs, who misuse the name NPR and grossly misuse the term refugee. They are the reason the NPR Comment Section is gone.
Person 1: The NPR Refugee mod just accuses people of being domestic-terrorists for no reason.
Person 2: The NPR Refugee likely just missed his morning med call. Give him a break he has nothing to do in his retirement except shout at the internet.
Person 3: Why would you go there? NPR Refugees is like visiting a retirement home where they are all angry at the TV.
