It does not "dip to the left most of the time." It is the only not for profit, unaligned media. Profit media is a different animal altogether.

It dips to the left as I listen to it frequently. I will agree it is close to being balanced, closer than any other, but it has a bias.

"Facts tend to have a liberal bias."

See a biased quote.


Facts have no bias, except to the truth (Normally, depending on the source).

I'm ragging on PBS for being extremely left leaning, and you bring up NPR as proof that it's not?

Are you going to bring up how "The View" once had Tami Lahren on too?

PBS and NPR are both extremely biased and left leaning. You are a fool if you think they are unbiased.

True. I have yet to find a balanced leftist news site. That being said, it's also difficult on the right.

I do think Ben Shapiro is about as balanced a view you can get, when it comes to editorial content.

Facts may have no bias but Right Wing perception of facts has a very strong left wing bias. Fact of life.

Who owns the media outlets? Large corporations like News Corp and NBC.

Who sponsors the media outlets? Large corporations like Exxon Mobil and Boeing.

Who distributes the media outlets? Large corporations like Charter and Comcast.

''It must be left-leaning''.
