We have state funded news where I live and I feel like it's keeping the other commercial news channels in check in term of tone. It's obviously not without biases but it's a lot better than the situation in the US in my opinion.
That said the current coalition wants to cut funding to it because of the unfavourable coverage.
Are you Canadian? Because defund the CBC ( gov funded - not operated) has been increasing in volume by the bros here over the past few years.
Nope, I'm Dutch.
I agree. I think people might have the idea that the states dictates the contents, but that’s not at all how it works in well functioning democracies. It’s there to serve the public interest: to have a relatively unbiased news outlet that’s accessible to all and without (or with little) commercial interests. It coexists with commercial news outlets.
I still love the BBC. It's not without bias, but still keeps largely to a culture of don't directly lie, in an English way, so I feel I can read between the lines when they try to push a viewpoint their facts don't support.
Bit by bit the ruin of their app is pushing me away, though.
Same here in Slovenia. We have RTVslo and they produce a lot of (mostly) unbiased news. Thankfully the right wingers no longer have control over it, which they did while Janez Janša was the prime minister.
