PRI buys time slots on NPR stations. NPR has no control over the content. It’s like your local TV station running “Judge Judy”. If she picked up a Bren gun and machine-gunned the studio audience, it would be tough to say the local station was responsible when they had no editorial oversight.

Aim the guns at Marco, WGBH, PRI, and the Beeb, please.

If I may add one correction here, it’s actually the other way around. Local public radio stations pay for shows like “The World.” They don’t get paid by the producers to carry them. PRI competes fiercely with NPR and other program producers to get local stations to carry its shows.
