People (news writers included) come with biases. If news is for the taxpayers/public they will need to $ it. Billionaires do try and shape the views of the public by buying, owning, and or funding news sources. Do you not see this also would be biased and shape the views and actions of the public?

There are alternative news sources to NPR, often when not publicly funded by the gov and the public they are privately owned/funded by billionaires. Which do you think would be the better option?
