NPR has been toting water for the Republicans for a LONG time - this is nothing new. "Experts" on their stories are far more likely to be members of right-wing think tanks than anything else; the American Enterprise Foundation and the Heritage Institute are biggies. These are nonetheless never identified as right-wing organizations. Reporters from the Washington Times are frequent guests, and the opposite side of the political spectrum is almost never represented.
When they do have "balance", it's FOX News style - a passive, straw man liberal vs. a raging, domineering conservative. Try timing the comments - I have. The Republicans invariably get twice as much air time, at a minimum - if the Democrats get any say at all.
And that's why I'll never give a dime to them.
