NPR was always leftist, but it didn’t go full-on neo-Marxist until ~2013/2014. That’s when social media took off and Obama got his second term, which was roughly the time that radical leftism metastasized from academia to the general public. The second inflection point was, of course, Trump winning in 2016. At that point, NPR transformed fully into democrat state propaganda, paid for with our tax dollars.
That's true for their woke racist sexist type programming, but their quality started taking a nosedive and it corresponded to when they got female hosts in the early 2000s.
Bob Edwards actually had integrity and put in the work, but in 2004 got forced out of Morning Edition by Renee Montange and Inskeep (who nobody liked). NPR got progressively more and more feminine, and now All Things Considered has 3 out of 4 female hosts. A couple years before Bob got the axe they added a couple women, but the Edwards ouster was the turning point.
The women just don't have the journalistic integrity and don't do the work. I've heard them report fake news that even doing one google search would have told them was false (despite Google's bias), so they didn't even put in that much work. It's pathetic.

It's almost like women don't belong in the workplace because they bring down the quality of everything.
The moment I noticed when I was still a leftie was when NPR began pushing the pro-refugee narrative during the Syria proxy war.
