PBS Kids was great the last time I saw it. Have they managed to stay neutral and not become politicized like so much of the media in the US?

It is nearly impossible to answer this question because everyone means something totally different by apolitical and neutral these days, but as far as I can see it is simple, positive children’s programs.

We love PBS kids for my 2,4,6 year olds. I don't feel I've seen any content I'd consider politicized on there.

I'm fairly sure PBS Kids contains politics since it has Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, which is absolutely "political" just like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was.

How was Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood political?

I am still not clear how including black people or autistic people is political?

[astrange]

Did you know the US used to have segregation? Of course showing black people on TV is political.

Admitting that black or autistic people exist is political now. Gotcha.

It certainly is to the people complaining that TV is too political. It’s even worse if they admit gay people exist.
