Did you read the link you posted? Two of them rated it as "barely left" and one rated it "center".

And all of them rated it "highly factual"

I know hard core leftists love to bash NPR/PBS, but as a non-leftist, non-centrist, non-right wing person, I definitely find NPR to have a left wing bias. Not as left wing as Democracy Now, etc - but definitely left leaning.

I'm curious what you think your politics are then.

I used to be an avid NPR listener, but after George Floyd it's astoundingly woke when I try listening. That's not very often anymore, to be fair.

I’m curious about how you would objectively define “woke”. I’d also be curious about how NPR scores on those measures relative to other comparable media.

Why do people still trot out this tired argument?

EDIT: And if you didn't mean it in that way, and were serious, consider looking at e.g. Ground News' rating of NPR: https://ground.news/interest/npr. They (and others) clearly show NPR to have (slight) left bias. This means you are almost certainly going to see woke perspectives there from time to time, and more often than other less-biased or right-biased sources.

The NPR front page right now has a clip from a profanity-filled interview with a drag queen.

Famously fair and balanced, I know.

Ok, and they also have the President saying Iraq should bomb Los Angeles. What is your point?

Huh?

Here are all the headlines currently above the fold on the homepage. Don't see anything about a drag queen below the fold either.

Maybe something autocorrected in your address bar when you tried to navigate to NPR?
