Now that Vivian Schiller is out as NPR’s chief, Joyce Slocum was named to NPR’s top post on Wednesday. However, her past political donations are bound to add more fuel to the fire.
According to OpenSecrets:
Joyce Slocum, National Public Radio’s new interim chief executive, has made five federal-level political contributions of more than $500, all to Democrats, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of campaign disclosures shows.
The Center’s research indicates that between 1999 and 2002, Slocum spread about $3,500 between Democratic U.S. House candidate Regina Montoya Coggins and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Ron Kirk, who today serves as President Barack Obama’s chief trade representative.

Most p[eople who give campaign funds to sway public policy give those funds to Democrats, because they can be bought cheaper.
I am afraid that no matter who they appoint they will face the same problem because who else would want to run such a pro-Dem network.

It's OK, because the only funds that NPR will be getting in the future will be from demonRATS, not taxes.
