I don't think PBS does news (probably can't afford it) and that's a real shame for Americans.
I heard that the BBC is widely available in thr US and at least that gives a somewhat different perspective. Perhaps Canada has some good channels.

Fortheether, why don't you try watching BBC, Russia Today, France24 and Al-Jazeera for a while?
Assuming you can get them on your cable/satellite? Neither of these are left wing in the least, but they do offer a somewhat more nuanced view of the world...


Well I for one (and lots of other people in Europe) are of the opinion that the difference between the parties in the USA is so small that there is effectively no point in voting. Lots of people are of the opinion that there is no democracy there at all, since there are no alternatives.

In Sweden, I can vote for the environmentalist party, Nationalist front, Communists, the Christian democrats etc, and have representation of my views in the parliament, in form of however many representatives from these parties are included. All they need is more than 4% of the total vote.

But in the USA, people with anything other than democrat or republican will not get any representation at all.
Hanna by you saying "Huffington Post is notoriously right wing though." puts you on the spectrum way on the other side from where I sit. Nothing wrong with that. As for other news, I try to watch the news in Russian but they speak way too fast and use too many Russian words
