NPR is the equivalent of radio MSNBC: not doing much in the way of hard-hitting investigative journalism. It's target demo appears to be middle-age, middle-class people who want to believe everything is fine while sipping their coffee mug on the way to work.

Meanwhile, Democracy Now! has been going since February 19, 1996 with a daily worldwide summary somewhat better than the BBC and then proceeds to dig into long-form, important interviews on topics that don't get much CNN-MSNBC airtime.



NPR has corespondents in more countries than any other news org. They don't score a lot of scoops but they do a lot of long-form deep dives.
