So yes, NPR is partially funded by the government. Is NPR a bit to the left? Probably. Do they still provide solid news coverage? Absolutely.
NPR is not quite the left paradise that some make it out to be. I personally think it provides a good public service, and the amount of money it gets from the government is a drop in the bucket compared to some of the other bullshit spending.
