Point taken, but I think my comment is a reflection of the problems with the modern use of "left" and "right".

Yes, of course NPR is more on the side of democrats than republicans.

But, it is very much pro-business, and often pro-war status quo ("right"). And, as I mentioned ("identity politics"), also very much pro-diversity in race/gender/etc. ("left").

So, IMHO, very much "centrist", not "left" (except on race/sex/gender).
