No one's stopping the New York Times, the National Enquirer, Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh, or any number of other assorted nuts from saying exactly what they want to say and reporting exactly what they want to report. Though, many wished they could. Instead, they change the channel, the radio dial, or read something else instead.

These are not soley funded by govenment. Is NPR funded soley by the US govt? If so, do they ever report alternative views on the governments public relations? I havent tuned in for ages, but I'm pretty sure they do..
