PBS doesn't like the smack talk

PBS is defending its decision to partner with Al Jazeera English to provide news coverage from around the world.

In this statement, Marc Rosenwasser, executive producer of PBS' Worldfocus, talks about the benefits of pairing with different global news outlets "to help provide American viewers with a unique perspective on international news."

Certainly no one can deny the inherent bias that all news organizations have - despite their efforts to shy away from such biases. It's human nature right? No matter how hard we try, we can never truly be impartial. 

That's why real news mongers who want the truth usually seek out multiple articles on the same subject to get a well-rounded view. 

So maybe the partnerships that the execs at Worldfocus are fostering are a sign of what's to come in the future of news.
