NPR is not a "leftwing outfit that is subsidized by taxpayer money". It's obvious you didn't actually read my post. Nor do I believe you actually listen to NPR.
Ok, you don't get to decide that for conservatives. Obviously conservatives think it is liberal.
People thought it was anti-Trump because liberals are constantly saying he is a tyrant and he stole the election from their horrible candidate.

Dude, don't be so coy. It's not a hard core liberal news outlet. I get it. I actually listen to some NPR like This American Life with Ira Glass, but some of the editorial and opinions I've heard and some of the content they produce online leans left. It's not anywhere near the bias of MSNBC but it does lean left rather than right.
SImply because a liberal denies it, doesn't make it true.
I don't believe they tweeted out quotes from the DOI in July 2009 , Obama's first year, about tyrants. If you can demonstrate that they did, people will change their minds on it.

They seem to lean towards sanity.
Often that means leaning away from whatever the right is trying to pitch. This is, naturally, perceived by the right as left-leaning, when it may actually be just standing up straight.
Plus, I'm thinking that if the founders of our nation warned us to be on the look out for tyrants, perhaps we should pay attention.
Yeah we'll look out for one that hasn't been elected. Not insinuate crap that the one in office, elected by the people is already one. Especially before his first 100 days like the media was doing day in and day out.

Not really, they can be pretty partisan at times. I am not saying that everything they do is left wing just that I would consider them to lean liberal rather than right at most times.
I mean you're basically assuming that everything leaning right is leaning further away from sanity.
Do you deny NPR is leftwing and that leftwingers are frequently accusing Trump of being a tyrant and even celebrate a version of Julius Caesar in which Trump is Caesar (a tyrant) and is murdered?
Oh that Caesar thing again. You are aware that a 2013 production of Caesar used Obama, are you not? You are aware that costuming Caesar as a current leader is practically as old as the play itself, are you not? And most importantly, you are aware that the whole point of the play is that the assassination doesn't solve a thing but ruins the lives of the assassins?

No I don't. From here you look way over-sensitive.
This is exactly what you said - "Everybody understands NPR is a leftwing outfit and those tweets were anti-Trump."
Those tweets were the DoI, and you said they were anti-trump. It's simple logic - if A=C and B=C, then A=B.
Walk it back or own it, but stop trying to duck it.
NPR is as leftwing as CNN and MSNBC. Talking in monotone voices doesn't mean they aren't liberal partisans.
