National Public Radio, “NPR”, was founded in 1970. It is partially funded by taxpayer money. But like many nonprofits and NGOs, it takes in a lot of money from donors, often with political motives. It is no secret that NPR has always “leaned left”.
Through various NGO cut-outs, the vast majority (70%+) of NPR's budget comes from our taxes. The "NGO cut-out" strategy is how many so-called public companies falsely claim that the majority of their funding does not come from government.
Regarding the question of being leftist. NPR has always been wildly left as has all media. When approximately 90% of media employees vote Democrat year after year, there isn't any question about bias. The press has been owned by the left for more than 100 years. How do you think FDR won 4 elections?
