Because this is my bugaboo, here is a shortened list of all the bullshit that caused me to start yelling at my car radio from NPR:
I've said it before, but the breaking point for me was the inane partisanship of the Trump election and the Racialism.
"On The Media" media watchdog program explicitly rejecting objective journalism and campaigning against Trump. They claimed that having objectivity in the face of despotism was immoral.
NPR News claimed that the NRA was blaming autistic people for active shootings because they said that the government should invest in mental health
NPR News had unchallenged guests claiming that Donald Trump admitted to rape on the Hollywood Access tapes
NPR News presenters were audibly shocked that life expectancy rates for white men declined. They literally did not understand how that could be physically possible when whites were so privileged. The next week a story was done to investigate this and the journalists were shocked at how bad de-industrialization and the opioid epidemic had hurt white rural families, the week after that a story was done that claimed the opioid epidemic really effected urban blacks more than whites, and the whole line of discussion was completely dropped
NPR News panel guests claimed that Betsy DeVoss had legalized rape on college campuses, by repealing the "Dear College" memo which mandated the extra-judicial Title IX Tribunals
"It's Been A Minute" (what I call the NPR Racialist hour) basically had college professors of racial justice blaming senior citizen victims of violent crime on their inability to assimilate to foreign immigrant cultures and languages.
NPR did a puff piece of Zoe Quinn when she wrote her book Con Logs to push a completely false narrative about GamerGate, and never even looked at the literal Con Logs that Ian Miles Cheong revealed to show the level of conspiracy and harassment that ZQ herself was engaging in because people pointed out that she cheated on her boyfriend with game journalists.
Garrison Keeler of Prarie Home Companion was MeToo'd because he allegedly held a woman's shoulder when she was crying some 20-30 years ago. Everyone with a brain saw that he was a devout Lutheran and the show couldn't be revolutionized into whatever garbage management had in mind with his personality still present.

Didn't NPR also have some author on talking about a book she wrote about how the BLM riots were good and justified too?
Yes, and that sentiment had already been around for a long time before that book.
