It's not 24/7 news, so the newshounds can't get their fix.
And those who'd watch Fox and it's even more biased ilk will view PBS as purely liberal propaganda.

I watched PBS News Hour the other day and it was refreshing. It had only a reasonable portion of the episode dedicated to what CNN had already been flogging to death for the entire day. Then they had an interesting piece on declining interest in trade jobs. It was interesting, informative, and I never felt shouted at or goaded.

PBS is funded by taxpayer dollars.
Assuming every news source tends to have some degree of bias, do you imagine they would tilt towards bigger government or smaller government?
How do the viewers of CNN, Fox, MSNBC not recognize that the guests cannot make substantial points about policies when their discussion is interrupted every 5 Minutes for commercial breaks?
Also, the USA has PBS, which is for a large part financed through a public fund (taxes). I don't know whats wrong with it but I assume by now most of the tv-watching audience is "trained" to watch opinion pieces on Fox&CNN instead of actual news.
