PBS NewsHour - Full Show PBS NewsHour

For the longest time under the lineage of respectable professionals over many years, if not decades - at the newsdesk, reporting from the field and invited contributors- the PBS Newshour has remained a balanced source of news that I depend on. Thanks.

I am increasingly concerned about misleading headlines and slanted news reporting. I have believed some stories because they fit my bias, only to learn later that they were fabricated.

I now listen to the PBS podcast every night because I think the news crew tries to be factually accurate and there is a bit more context. I enjoy the editorials because you clearly identify who is speaking and different points of view are presented thoughtfully.

I listen daily. The things I do not hear are that: unemployment is down but that is not including the percentage of those who are no longer drawing unemployment- yet are still trying to find employment which would increase the unemployment rate; wages may be up compared to WHAT- ONLY for a very few employees who own stock???- yet to buy staples like bread, milk, eggs, beans, any in season fruit or vegetable, and not mention even the cheapest cuts of meats that their prices have just increased greatly... so even IF one was lucky enough to have received a raise that those disposable dollars were long gone and not nearly enough to cover the overpriced grocery bill, foods that are poor in nutrients (many canned or readymade frozen meals or snacks) are often priced temptingly low. So EVERY middle, low, or impoverished person’s disposable dollar has decreased no matter how much their pay may have increased; the behaviors of politicians, persons in the media, those who affect or have an opportunity to influence others should be held to a higher standard. Back story on China, they cannot “Steal” what we had them make!!!! All of their companies are governmentally owned or held In oversight. So even if they signed a piece of paper “no, I, ABC Chinese Company, will not steal your tech blah blah blah....”. All data on their servers, all tangible blueprints for products, etc... are there for the pickings! All China had to do was have (has) their version of a CIA operative in every company within every department yo facilitate coping- downloading everything airgapped- etc each item of interest, PLUS their Government already monitors everything going on remotely they can see! Something to consider why football viewers, in general, are against sports players not standing and saluting the Old Glory often has nothing to do with their legitimate and overdue complaints against misbehaviors of the police departments!! BUT, it is against the mistreatment of the Flag - that is representative of where we stand as a nation and that our allegiance lies with THIS country NO matter who is in any political office! When those influencing their viewers/ listeners/ the population/ followers on Twitter to follow them then lie, cheat, mismanage, self love or act out in self achieving motivations, or otherwise misbehave in any way(s) AND are not held accountable - then, my friends, why should I or you or any of us be held accountable for complaints which others get sent to prison?
