Stick with “American” because not only is it partially accurate geographically, it’s completely accurate in terms of how self-centered we are as a nation as to think we’re the only ones who count.
NPR is not free; it’s paid for by taxes, which means that every U.S. citizen is in fact paying for news whether they like it or not. And “not for profit” is not the same as “no cost to the consumer.” In addition, most of the outlets for NPR are local public radio stations that are - you guessed it - funded by taxes (as well as fund drives).
