It is what it is in the "free" market system

The reality of survival for PBS, is some Big Shot donors keep a hook on their line of funding. It is what it is in the free market system.
The New York Times and Los Angels Times were swooped up by Tribune Inc also owners of the TV market in those cities. You can seek alternative sources like the investigative articles in Rolling Stone offering a view divergent from big media spin machines.

Of more concern is why an independent press can no longer protect a government whistle blower. The New York Times could publish the "Pentagon Papers" and protect Daniel Ellsberg. Today, Edward Snowden is going to be lynched, for doing the same thing that in 1971 was considered heroic. You could wait around a long time for the truth, if not for whistle blowers. The government did not release their "classified" copy of the Pentagon Papers until June 2011.
