Are you sure you know what "public broadcasting" is? It's broadcasting funded by the public, mostly through private donations and some funding through competitive grants.

EDIT: I see from your profile you're not in the US, which is probably the source of the confusion. Examples of Public Broadcasting are https://www.npr.org and https://www.pbs.org.

As a US citizen who used to listen to NPR daily, it may not be state-sanctioned, but it definitely had a propagandistic narrative tying together the reporting.

Maybe not quite as strongly so as the NYT, but it was definitely there.
