According to the author's examples of bullshit, NPR peddles the same stuff as the other for-profit main stream publications.
> Immerse yourself in news of Russian plots to counterfeit presidential children’s laptops [0], viruses spawned in Wuhan market stalls [1], vast secret legions of domestic terrorists flashing one another the OK sign in shadowy parking lots [2] behind Bass Pro Shops experiencing “temporary” inflation [3], and patriotic tech conglomerates purging the commons of untruths.
I listed to them for years but noticed a considerable shift in their reporting in the last 2-3 years.
