Public radio is a mixed bag. It's better than most but I dislike the pretense of being better, because in my view they are only marginally better when presenting news.
One of the things I'm most disenchanted with is how on uncontroversial things they'll offer an opinion. "lack of oversight is bad". But on controversial issues they tend to appear neutral (offering no opinion) while at the same time couching the questions and loading their questions. So when it comes to controversial subjects they take a position, but they try to hide it, which, to me, is more perverse than the blatant left and blatant right, who at least aren't pretending to be objective. That's to say nor, while marginally better, comparatively, isn't all that good and show bias in their reporting and choice of news.
For example, the strife in some inner cities was cast as police vs population when in reality government is at greatest fault. They put the police there to mop up after their failed or non existent policies to better peoples desperate lives. So the police are their last desperate attempt at controlling a situation for which they fell asleep at the wheel then blast police for the situation.
