My own opinion is that the public broadcasting people are also a part of the propaganda machine, and are not at all independent from the pressures that the rest of the major news media are subjected to. I think they are marketed to people who want more details and the appearance of having more in-depth coverage, and that's what they provide. But I catch them telling lies all the time, even on Washington Week in Review. I used to love the public broadcasting news, but now they just piss me off.

I saw a study quoted not too long ago (wish I could remember where). People were asked questions to learn how much of what they had been told by their preferred news source was misinformation. It showed that while people who watched FOX news had about 75 percent misinformation, the people who get their news from the public broadcasting people have about 25 percent misinformation. This may not seem like much, but it's a lot to me, especially if that 25 percent is really critical information, which in my opinion, it often is.

However, having said that, 25 percent is definitely better than 75 percent.
