Oh, NPR and PBS are absolutely solid, but you have to wait for them to get around to covering something, if they bother at all. :(
Right now, turning on my local PBS station it's...
Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me... which is fine, but it's not news. :)
Weekends are not very newsy on public radio, it's true. But the weekday NPR stream is Morning Edition, which is basic news, 1A, which is more in-depth about current events with an attempt to be unbiased about it. Admittedly, they also do an hour of Fresh Air, but I would say the rest counts as news. And my station often breaks in if there's something major going on.

I also think a lot of the things that channels like CNN put up as breaking news just aren't. Even when they seem like they are.
I guess also because I grew up in the pre-CNN era, I don't feel I need to know everything the second it happens. I mean it can be interesting, but if I don't find out about it until 12 hours later, it's not a big deal a good 90% of the time.
What I miss is Headline News. Turn on a channel, any time of the day or night, and get the equivalent of a 30 minute network newscast.
I agree. That was excellent. Originally anyway. Then it changed to 'HN' and had regular programming and does it even exist now?
HLN exists as a channel, but as near as I can tell it's all true crime bullshit now.
