The “center” in America between Liberal Democrats and Conservative Republicans is “center right” in other places, like Europe. And I use “Liberal” to mean “right of Progressive”. “Progressives” are seen as “very left” for advocating for things that are “center” in Europe. It is common in some circles to bind your language to the European standards, in which case NPR is center-right as a more conservative presence in the American Liberal Democrats. At least that’s how I see all this.
