Re NPR's current situation:
It is vital to remember this rule of corporate bosses, especially media bosses:
If they've ever been critical of Trump, they have a grotesque conflict of interest -- and you should take seriously bad-faith right-wing complaints about everything their journalists say and do.
If they are Trump supporters, there's no issue to discuss.
That's how news media play it, every time.
