“I think it should be illegal for programs to profit off of news. Broadcasting news should be a public service.”
Then the only news you would get would be from PBS.
I’m all for defunding PBS.
The commend was sarcastic, but it raises an idea.
What if there was a News Public Utility with watchdog oversight appointed by both political parties that produced straight news each evening?
Could it serve as a benchmark for the rest of the media?
My first guess is probably not as it would be corrupted quickly.
