It's no coincidence that at a time of eroding democracy, public journalism is being cut.
The exception is if there's something notable to report on between 5PM and 8PM EST
The house of representatives controls the budget. Moderating perceived bias would be an obvious survival strategy.
Edit: Oh, drat, I've been ostracized. Whatever will I do?

Because you seemed to think the issue was the lack of reason when it's actually the reason itself.
Also, the government acting on perception instead of evidence is horrible.
In my opinion the claims of bias at PBS were done to keep the core Republican voter base energized. They've been told to not trust the media while Trump appoints multiple Foxnews employees to high level positions in the government.

I don’t want my extorted taxes funding any of this. I hope other countries in Europe follow suit and shut down any state funded media and journalism networks.
P.S. Funnily enough, in my country, the hard left was very fond of the state media network - that they filled with their own talking heads - until recently when the present center right government started changing the seats to their own apparatchiks and the programs started to change from hard left propaganda to neo-liberal propaganda. Now, they don’t fancy all that money going to the state media channels anymore. Suits them right.
