PBS News
U.S. center-left (mainstream public media)
PBS News is produced by WETA, a nonprofit public station in Washington, D.C., and is distributed by PBS, which its member stations own. It runs traditional, fairly measured straight-news reporting, and studies by conservative critics describe its guest lineup and commentary as leaning left. Its coverage of the second Trump administration is mostly factual and neutral in tone, but it reports critically on the administration's cuts to public media and other policies.
Owned byPBS is a nonprofit membership organization owned by its roughly 330 member stations. PBS News (formerly PBS NewsHour) is produced by NewsHour Productions, a subsidiary of WETA, the public station in Washington, D.C. PBS News is therefore not owned by a corporation or a single owner.
