No, you'd be honest about it if you admitted that you already had one - it's called NPR - paid for with my tax dollars. If you want to waste _your_ money on such a thing, be my guest.
Rightwingers love to bitch and moan about NPR, but it's actually far more variegated than they admit. For example, there's a dailly program called Marketplace that is one of the most honest and thorough business reports in any media.
NPR doesn't kowtow to the right-wing agenda - which makes it, in their minds, leftwing.

A 30 minute program is compared against five hours (that I know of locally) and it becomes all fair and balanced in your mind? I agree marketplace is good. And the other shows aren't NYT bad; but there are enough times I listen and wonder what cracker jack box these people got their journalism degree out of. One night last summer I heard a constant droning of all the bad things that happened in Baghdad, the museum looting, the general lawlessness, no water, no power, bombings, overflowing hospitals with "the innocents of war; their lives and bodies forever damaged by the senseless rush to war...." (accompanied by strained violins and wailing children).
Where was the other PoV? Where was the story retracting the falsehoods of the museum looting? Where is the counterpoint now of the lawlessness brought on by the Saddam thugs; the overflowing hospitals caused when they blow up their own people?
Yes NPR. We editorialize, you don't decide.
