I think publically funded ones tend left, mostly because raw facts tend to have a left “bias”. Lol
I’ve had to resort to that or international news to get any sort of unsensationalized news, though.
If you listen to NPR and realize most of their funding was donated by The Koch Brothers, you’ll start to notice how often they are on the same talking points as FoxNews and same unchallenged opinions of right wing reactionaries from pundants on most issues. They just deliver it in a smooth and smarmy tone. Again. No one has a media company free of serious financial cost, and no one with money is a leftist.
That’s quite the claim. Do you have an example of NPR espousing the same points that Fox News is?
Haven’t listen in a while but I started noticing it with the news segments usually some passive voice headline then a pundit would come on and just let fly, I remember a woman trying the ‘‘Democrats want immigration so immigrants will all vote for them’’ just as a stated fact and the host of the program just moved on to other questions, a lot of passive voice then a pundit with familiar talking points, I’m just taking about the news reporting here, not every single program that plays.
Iirc, the iffier funding streams financing NPR are Amazon and Meta. They often have to disclose it when they report anything on them, though, and it hasn’t seemed to matter when reporting on the tech layoffs or human rights abuses regarding these companies. As the other comment said, you’ll want to back your claim up here.
