Outlet track record
PBS News
U.S. center-left
PBS News is produced by NewsHour Productions LLC, a nonprofit subsidiary of the Washington, D.C. public TV station WETA-TV. It leans center-left — rated 'Lean Left' by AllSides — and relies on corporate sponsors, foundation grants, and viewer donations after losing all federal public broadcasting funding in 2025. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has been broadly critical; PBS sued the administration over its executive order targeting public broadcasting, and the outlet's reporting has consistently framed the administration's actions in an adversarial light.
