    NPR is independent and receives less then 1% funding from the federal government unfortunately (if you listen to regular NPR on the radio you will undoubtedly hear there funding drives which can last several days).

      It was created with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_for_Public_Broadcasting. It’s literally meant to be state-sponsored propaganda. Except it talks more about China, and Russia than a lack of healthcare, or a decrepet infrastructure.

        NPR talks a lot about the failings of the US’s health care infrastructure. It talks a bit less about infrastructure, but it certainly discusses it.

        Ignoring my opinions on China and Russia, a newspaper that talks more about foreign countries than local news is a pretty shitty newspaper.

          News in the US is hyper local. This is actually one of the few news sources regular (elderly) US citizen have that talk about foreign events from time to time. Biased? Probably. But still better then nothing.
