My thought: the news media should be mandated to be non-profit only, or else they cannot call themselves “news”. Clearly the profit motive devours any pretense of objectivity or informativeness.

Aside from sounding more than a little .... ahhh .... socialistic,
your theory most assuredly isn't working now when it comes to our CBC and PBS & NPR Stateside.

Another good example is 'legal aid', 'public defender' programs which are literal magnets for 3rd rate legal hacks quite happy to draw any salary at all and/or lawyers with a desire to selfishly engage in personal - inevitably left-wing - socio-enconomic agendas without fear of private sector accountability.

It's also noteworthy my dear school teacher mother went to her grave firmly convinced that nowhere could one find better & more numerous examples of the 'Peter Principle' than within her own field of public education.
