McDonald’s heir leaves $200 million to NPR
"She had been a longtime listener of NPR’s local affiliate, KPBS, but had no formal association with NPR or history of funding it. People at NPR said yesterday that she had expressed admiration for NPR’s coverage of the events leading up to the war in Iraq and its reporting of the war itself."

As I remember, NPR was one of the few news sources who looked at the war in a semi-objective manner, not opting to go the 'embedded' route, and asking questions at a time when no one else would.
