Is PBS biased?

All news organizations are biased. Some are just so far up their own assholes they don't even know it.

i'd say it was slightly left leaning, but attempts to cover both perspectives (?)

there are much worse

>>126852239
Why would you think PBS is based? It's the most bluepilled news I can think of

>>126852468
>>126852448
Okay, but how biased is PBS? Can they generally be trusted, especially shows like PBS Newshour?

C-SPAN is the only unbiased news.

Book C-SPAN is the ultimate redpill of the the unbiased news.

woops, you forgot 2003. memory hole successful

Go away evil dogger.

But yes, everyone is biased in some aspect. It's more realistic and important to identify biases than it is to find organizations without biases

>>126852239
Biased to beg for my shekels

>>126852982
i'm not convinced that any exist, or ever has

>>126852547
go away evil dogger

>Can they generally be trusted
No news organization can be trusted. That's what I'm trying to say.

Something about almonds

Please expand upon this. Are you referring to the pro-interventionist messages?
I remember the invasion of Iraq but was C-SPAN complicit in reporting biased news?

No

it was another conduit and accepted the (NYT) injected narrative without questioning sources. i can't say that they can be blamed, but have they learned any hard lessons? i really don't think they are immune to the same manipulation from "anonymous sources" in high positions. that alone is enough to warrant sufficient skepticism

>>126853504
THE NEWS is biased. If C-SPAN spent many, many hours covering the biased rantings of neo-con Congressmen and Senators urging and supporting the invasion, it wasn't C-SPAN being biased, it was just the camera showing what was going on.

>>126852239
Incredibly so. They are another political arm of the DNC, funded by taxpayers and far left groups.

>>126854269
lobbies compete for coverage
do you wonder if pbs directorial staff do not know any lobbyists? i would be shocked if they weren't facebook friends or made some circular connection on linkedin

>>126852547
Get paid pupper.

>>126852239

yes, they've been a leftist outlet for years

>>126852239

Are you a complete fucking idiot?

Hope that helps.

>>126852239
Only towards reporting facts and not grocery store hyperbole and tabloid crap.

PBS Newshour is about the only respectable TV News show across both network and cable, including the major cable news networks.

>>126856568

It's biased as fuck. Look at their weekly news review - Shields and Brooks

Both Shields and Brooks are liberals - gun control, "gay marriage", loose immigration policies, etc. there's no real balance at all

and most of the rest of the site has been taken over by the SJW mindset

>>126856568
This!

The internet killed even relatively unbiased news. News doesn't turn a profit anymore, so now the only way to make money in the industry is pushing an agenda for shekels.

EVERYTHING called news is actually infotainment, even the shit you agree with. The sooner you realise this the sooner you can get to work on forming your own opinion.

>>126859811
I'm not American, I don't know your networks.

If it's a government service the question goes from naive to out-and-out retarded. Surely the government doesn't influence the content of the station that it fucking pays for! Surely not!

Jesus wept dude

>>126852239
Literally propaganda

>>126860440
Okay Alex

>>126852668
Never Trust PBS Newshour, they are shills and because they got there start from the government they will shill for big government.

I remember the Journalism class I was in did a story promoting a government program that gave teenagers in Salton City CA shitty internet access for a few hours of the day. And how that is so great and we need to thank obama for them. I am now glad I did not fucking go.

>>126860990
Let's not be retarded, now. Being communist-funded doesn't mean it's unbiased or accountable to the people who allegedly own it.

>>126860990
Willfully naive. If you control funding you influence content. Refute me faggot.
