This is good that individual stories are not externally censored.
But.. I don't know the org structure of NPR, but it's possible that over the long run for the NPR suits to fire journalists who don't toe the "party line", or refuse to give them promotions or salary increases. If they can, or have in the past, there would still be self-censorship of stories by journalists.
