I don't know what DW is tbh. BBC sells its programming to raise money. I do listen to PBS and yes they have fund drives.

The NYT and the WaPo didn't score very well.

They didn't score that bad, right next to the WSJ, and the study is largely the amount of Trump coverage, and given that Trump courts the media, it is not suprising, he wants the attention, no prior President went to the ends Trump does to be part of the media agenda, most sought to avoid it, and a lot of what Trump turns negative because of his habit of being less than honest so frequently

What those sources are good at is the amount of news they report on a daily basis and the lack of melodrama in reporting them

The NYT had less than half the number of positive stories and the WaPo had about half the positive stories as the WSJ. The WSJ was 70% negative and only 30% positive stories on Trump so its not like they were balanced either. Fox Was the most balanced. You are probably are doing what many Libs do. (Not saying you are a Lib.) You are probably lumping News and Opinion together. That should not be done.

Zelenski is a comedian who became President of Ukraine. His latest joke is the one about how there was 'no pressure?'

The other news sources have filled in enough details for everyone to get the joke, but if you watch Fox those two words are the whole story.

The left is saying Zelenski is a liar. They have no proof mind you only baseless accusations.

There is not way to be well informed by relying on TV (and radio) for the news.

PBS has some very good and very thorough stories that cover the topic in greater detail and from more angles than other sources. They do tend to lean to the left by the issues they cover (problems of the transgendered).

A very good beginning would be possible by listening to NPR and watching PBS, BBS and DW.

Most of their news is much too limited in scope. What you get is good quality, but it is very narrow. The other cable networks just repeat the same stories all day.

Rereading the OP and the likes it got I'm going to assume now it was about Trump and we were all supposed to just know that. But the reality is desiring confirmation bias and echo chambers transcends political ideology.

I'll listen to PBS in the car. I'll actually listen to KPFA 94.1 Free Speech Radio based in Berkeley on occasion. They have Democracy Now and other progressive (or even further left) shows/speakers. It makes NPR look right-wing. Pretty funny.

PBS conservative pundit David Brooks agrees Trump is guilty but just doesn't see the Republicans admitting it.

Sounds like a very accurate assessment.
