I feel like some loud conservatives made NPR freak out and now they're trying to sprinkle in stories like this.

Because the moment conservatives run things again, they'll absolutely continue gutting public radio.

It's because back in April some right-wing nutjob editor quit NPR claiming an atmosphere of bias. So he fled to right-wing outlets (where he conveniently ignores their right-wing bias) and now NPR decides they need to go back to balancing the scales of the BoTh SiDeS bullshit.
