Most of your are forgetting the demographic that listens to NPR: middle to upper class, well educated, adults.
While I include myself in that demographic, listen to NPR, and play Halo on a regular basis, I realise that most of their audience does not have any familiarity with video games in general, let alone the Halo trilogy.
On top of that, I wouldn't be surprised if the average NPR listener looked down upon gamers with a condescending attitude.
Despite all of this, I thought the reporter did a good job covering the general story of Halo (with a few factual errors) and, in the end, presented Halo as much more than just your average shoot 'em up mind-dulling video game.
Flame all you want, but I thought it was great.
