During one of their fund drives, they had on of their journalist who told her story that she used to work for AP but much preferred working at NPR because she could interpret news from AP and present it to NPR listeners in a way that was more meaningful and relevant....I stopped listening to them a long time ago. I'll make my own interpretations thank you!!

And they are taxpayer funded. I responded to the Austin PBS fund drive with “I am already paying, and YOU should be non-partisan.”

I know! And when I send articles to friends and family from "conservative" sites, they stick their noses up at them because of all the unsavory ads and I try to point out they have to do that since they don't get government handouts! So not fair!

Commercial radio and TV are a wasteland, occasionally they feature the other side or controversial issues but not in depth.

Actually PBS gets very little from the government, they used to have superb journalism. But when the higher bidders who contribute to them are pushing a particular story line, they will quash the truth.
