Lol it’s almost never critical of the US government. It will be critical of certain politicians and policies but rarely will they criticize the US foreign policy. Unless you consider puff pieces like this one for the CIA news you should seriously consider using other sources for foreign policy news.
The 9/11 attacks put the CIA on a dramatically different course. The agency went from an emphasis on traditional spy work — collecting intelligence and recruiting foreign spies — to a focus on paramilitary operations.
This quote is a huge lie. The CIA has been involved in paramilitary ops and coups in South America and other places since its inception. This article tries to pin all of the CIAs sins on the Bush administration which is a lie by omission and a hostile lie as it’s praising the agency on the Ukrainian Russian war. This puff piece was meant to make it seem like the CIA is in the moral right to be anti Russia but made a misstep on the war on terror. It’s propaganda and it is a terrible way to stay informed.
Much more than one. They are always on the side of the military industrial complex. So is the New York Times so it’s not just npr but acting like they are beyond reproach is dumb.
Independent journalist and smaller outlets. Unfortunately places like Vice and The Intercept started out pretty good but they have changed for the worse. But the one place I’d never recommend is any government funded news source and no I don’t care if it’s only a little bit. Also it’s better to follow journalist then to follow outlets. Plenty of journalist write on substack and other places to remain independent.
Yes. NPR.
Got my mug and bumper sticker, still waiting on my tote.
Good way to only get the US government approved perspective.
NPR gets almost no funding from the US government and regularly runs stories critical of said government. What are you talking about?

blatant lie remains false. Film at eleven.
Yeah that puff piece was full of lies.
Nope just your claim. Puff piece was puff piece but not remotely false.

They do one positive story about the CIA and therefore they’re in the government’s pocket? That’s a poor argument.

What sources would you recommend?
