If pbs was only balanced or apolitical. There were several high profile blunders they refused to apologize or change. Would have been the same outcome if things were reversed. Heck, they could have done a pbs right and pbs left channel. But they know better. Such is the reason why so many are deserting the left, they’ve drifted way too far left.

As the country rapidly descends into a right wing totalitarian state, it's great that you identified the real culprit: people who complained our country was descending into a right wing totalitarian state.
Ah, yes, you must be comparing NPR to all of the fair and balanced “clear eyed” right wing media we’ve come to know and love. No extremism or bias there whatsoever… /s
PBS and other stations represented the center for a long while. The Overton window just keeps moving. Nowadays basic stuff like getting vaccinated has been politicized along with a zillion other things that used to be considered “normal”. Makes sense if your main mission is to expand attack surfaces but sucks for the rest of us.
