Agreed. News Hour is definitely left leaning but they let people talk and seem to make a genuine effort to provide information. Which is something most other news programs have stopped doing. They just want to produce outrage and conflict. You can listen to CNN, MSNBC or Fox for hours and the only thing you have learned is what you should be angry about. You will have learned nothing about the actual topic.
I agree; for COVID news, none of those three are even remotely reliable. What disappoints me the most is CNN, they really have no reason to be as useless as they are while also riling up emotions.
