This seems like fighting the last war.
When I hear "PBS for the internet" I think publicly-funded content.
Content on the internet doesn't have pride of place like it does on broadcast media. The internet is about platforms.
"PBS for the internet" should be about creating, first, open standards for content distribution, promotion, and moderation. And then maybe implementing those standards.
Content is basically free on the internet with the right platform. Trying to counter misinformation with good content is boiling the ocean. The better way to spread good content is to create standards and maybe a platform that incentivizes third parties to make good content.
