When public finding was largely eliminated and they became corporate sponsored they both become spokesman for the corporations. I don't have a TV (won't) but can't even listen to PBS anymore without some Koch funded mouthpiece giving their hired "view point". I swear if they had a discussion about the shape of the earth they would come up with the conclusion that earth is half flat after listening to both "sides".
Greg Palast has it right when he calls NPR National Petroleum Radio.
