I don't recall what kind of coverage NPR had over the Iraq war; maybe it was generally favorable. But it would surprise me if the station were "in favor of" it full stop. It's certainly possible to find critical pieces from the era by googling. > why would they be a more reliable source than let's say Voice Of America or Radio Free Asia Voice of America and Radio Free Asia are governmental agencies; NPR is a private non-profit organization funded by advertising, donations, grants, etc (but not directly by the federal government).
