PBS News Hour is a great resource. They now have a YouTube channel with all their content, including live streams. They tend to have a very sensible approach to news. They don't have sponsors to please or audience numbers to hit. They also broadcast considerably less than the 24-hour news networks, which means the ratio of news to opinion is much higher. Their goal seems to be inform, not inflame. I like them.

In Germany public broadcasters for the first time have a budget of that passed 10 billion EUR.

- dredmorbius 4y agoThere are also separate podcast channels, one with full broadcast episodes, one with specific segments. I'll dip into the latter most often for the PBS take on a story of interest.
