PBS and NPR are undoubtedly the best in regards to objectivity.

The way that every single MSM news source acted when Trump first declared he was running for president, then acted while he was president, then acted after it was clear voter manipulation happened, was enough for me to never trust any MSM news source ever again. They are corrupt, pushing an agenda for the trilateral commission and Council on foreign relations to dismantle and destroy America.

Brookes book will absolutely prove that. You can watch Project Veritas videos from YouTube as well from MSM executives telling the truth about their fear manipulation and how corrupted they are to push their agenda.

Another one to read is "unfreedom of the press" by Mark Levin.

Notice how far Right FOX News, OAN, Carlson Infowars, and Hannity are compared to how far left CNN is.

PBS and NPR are undoubtedly the best in regards to objectivity.

From Ken Stern, former CEO of NPR:

"Most reporters and editors are liberal — a now-dated Pew Research Center poll found that liberals outnumber conservatives in the media by some 5 to 1, and that comports with my own anecdotal experience at National Public Radio. When you are liberal, and everyone else around you is as well, it is easy to fall into groupthink on what stories are important, what sources are legitimate and what the narrative of the day will be."

"This may seem like an unusual admission from someone who once ran NPR, but it is borne of recent experience."

I have a friend who worked for NPR.  She felt the same way.

When I listen to NPR or watch PBS, I feel that there is large bias.

But --

I think that all news has large bias.

I think that the solution is to sample from the whole spectrum.  The differences point out how each side spins its stuff, what it leaves out, how it frames issues to assign you an opinion, etc.

PBS has a huge bias.
