I get NHK on my local PBS channel which broadcasts MHz Worldview 24/7 on a subchannel. They also have Al Jazeera, which can be good, and RT, which tends to jump the shark, among others.

I watched a lot of NHK in the aftermath of the earthquake/tsunami catastrophe. Now, I watch it once in a while.

BTW, their cultural programs are beautiful and well produced.

The garbage we call "news" is most tabloid trash. One can read the "Weekly World News" tabloid and be just as informed as a network TV watcher...lol.
