PBS and NPR have been taken over by people like the Kochs, Duke Energy, ADM, BP and a host of other bad actors. Pay attention to the underwriters and you'll see what I mean. Congress tossed PBS and NPR to the wolves by largely defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, making them more and more dependent upon corporate underwriters and the largesse of the 1%.

There are still some good newspapers out there though. WaPo, LA Times, NY Times and the Christian Science Monitor are good. So is the WSJ once you get past the editorial board.
