I regularly listen to a lot of their programming, especially in the morning. In lieu of articles all I have is what I personally heard on Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and during their special coverage pre and post election.
Morning Edition had a disproportionate amount of coverage for the "Undecided" and "Abandon Harris" movements, at least in my region. They interviewed someone billed as (paraphrased) "former Trump appointee, who testified against him, and is now going to work for him again."
Then, immediately after the election (like 10pm that night), they interviewed a legal representative for The Heritage Foundation, who spouted nothing but lies about Trump's non-involvement with Project 2025. There was no fact checking for this interview.
Earlier this year, they interviewed Sean Duffy who repeatedly said that there was no issue with FAA operations re: EWR communications lapses, when weeks later it was revealed that he was making sure his family avoided routing through that airport.
I know this anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much but something is seriously off at NPR within the last couple years. It's definitely not the same quality of reporting that it was before.
