NPR continuing to publish programming critical of Trump during the Trump presidency, is a pretty strong indication they have editorial independence.

Heck, Voice of America also did the same and they are definitely state affiliated.

Threats were made by the Trump admin when NPR had unfavorable reporting.

They've clearly stepped it up after his term, so, no not really.

not necessarily. It just means it's not as bad as it would be in China or Russia.

NPR knew the democrats would be back in power in a couple of years...they weren't risking much by being anti-Trump. But they did gain goodwill from the democrats, which can extend them support every time they are in power.

I am not arguing for or against either side, I am just pointing out a flaw in your logic.

I think NPR is so solidly on the democrats side, that it's hard to distinguish what came first: the chicken or the egg?

I do not see a flaw in their logic:

That is a strong indicator. An indicator that may not convince everyone by itself, but I do not see any flaw in their logic.
