You can easily detect the bias towards the status quo and The Establishment mindset. Even when they try to give Bernie "equal time" (remember that) they seem to always frame the question with Hillary in mind, and the "experts" always seem to do the same.

NPR is like Radio Free America aimed at US Citizens-- telling us what to think.
I mean they report on war, war, war, like they're covering a sport and they they're a bunch of homers.

Anyway, it's disheartening sometimes to think that a lot of people hear what they say as the unvarnished truth, when it's just propaganda for the powers that be.

p.s. Looking in the concept of "examination of dissent" and you'll see how deep a mind fuck propaganda can be. And, watch "The Century of The Self" BBC (?) series of docs by Adam Curtis (search youtube) -- and OMG, just Wow.
