NPR and it's affiliated public media outlets are sometimes accused of bias, especially by those on the conservative side of the political spectrum. As NPR and PBS lose more than a billion dollars in federal funding, it begs the question: Did public media sow the seeds of its own destruction?

Mike Pesca is a former NPR reporter and producer. He is now an independent podcaster and writer. Pesca adresses this question in an opinon piece titled: "NPR's Death by a Thousand Decolonizations" and joins the program today.
