    To be fair, I doubt the journalists get any choice about how the company that owns their publication decides to waste money.

      NPR frequently does negative stories about corporate contributors while acknowledging the corporation gives them money.

        Yes they do! It’s so damned nice to hear when they do that. It’s just full disclosure, and they don’t pull punches.

        And in the long run, it still serves the company’s interest as they are still known as an NPR contributors. They’re okay with the arrangement and we’re all better for it.

        NPR does have some absolutely bad takes sometimes though. But I love that you know they have ethics.
