Professional ethics and integrity, plus occasional review by an ombudsman? Same as many other vocations...

  I enjoy their non-journalistic shows, e.g., "A Prairie Home Companion/Live From Here" and "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!", but not enough to donate when I know the money is also going to pay for their "journalism", and especially not when they clearly prefer the (fatter) checks from the corporations. But professional ethics? Fox News, MSNBC, and those other infotainment gutters are bad, but NPR is insidious: it's biased toward the class of established political powers and corporations, like a Pravda for America but dishonest about it.

    Just because they run sponsorships, doesn't mean that they are automatically going to do whatever it takes to make their sponsors look good. I think they do a good job of being objective and have a good track record for being highly factual.

      Actually that’s exactly how I interpret the ads. How else is there?
