PBS NewsHour

U.S. center-left

PBS NewsHour is a nightly news program produced by public TV stations WETA and WNET and distributed through PBS, funded by a mix of corporate underwriting, foundation grants, viewer donations, and shrinking public funds after Congress eliminated federal broadcasting subsidies in 2025. It has a reputation for sober, in-depth, nonpartisan-style reporting, though its audience and editorial instincts lean somewhat left of center. Its coverage of the Trump administration mixes straightforward policy reporting with critical scrutiny of controversial actions, alongside interviews that include administration officials and conservative voices.
