But many people won't, they want to be lied to. The people who don't want to be lied to simply turn NPR off and do other things.

You are correct, NPR sold out a long time ago as has 90% of the rest of the media. But, if NPR/Fox/CBS etc.., suddenly started reporting actual news it's devoted listeners and enablers would just jump to the next lying media frauds and listen to them.
