They've become "fair and balanced" like Fox. They are now very sensitive to funding.

I hope I'm wrong.

A decent percentage of their programming would fall under DEI focusing on minorities. Frontline routinely does deep dives on Trump administration stuff exposing nefarious things. Etc.

That said, I doubt they'd want something like Colbert.
