As an avid and long term PBS viewer, donor, news hour west was 90% a waste of time anyway. Most evenings it is virtually the same broadcast, same segments. Media is more VOD-oriented anyway. They have been posting both broadcasts to YouTube for years, so you can assess this if you'd like.
The exception is if there's something notable to report on between 5PM and 8PM EST

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.
One man’s public journalism is another man’s state sponsored propaganda.
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.

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?
