    PBS is a respectable news source that I trust. Some internet rando is not.

    Edit: I don’t care if any of you self righteous fake intellectuals hate PBS. But I do take satisfaction in seeing that there were replies from people I blocked in the past. I don’t have to waste my time reading takes designed to hurt my feelings and spread awful ideas.

      Sorry to break it to you, but PBS Newshour is not immune to corporate and political bias, just because it is(was? Idk honestly) partially publicly funded. They have sponsors to please and viewers to pander to just like other stations. I do generally think they are better than most broadcast news but they are still biased towards a general pro-corporate sanitized viewpoint. If a CEO (or any important western figurehead) dies they aren’t going to focus on harms they did, they will focus on telling how they were such a great loving family man regardless of if it is true.

          If I’m wrong about something let me know instead of throwing out insults. No one knows everything.

            You already showed an arrogance and argumentativeness directed at a news source which is far more trustworthy than 99% of those that exist. I’m not arguing with yet another “perfect is the absolute enemy of good” types. You already told me what you believe about PBS and I’m not exerting further mental energy to try and change that. Be wrong, I don’t care.
