    The US still does have an OK “public broadcaster” - PBS (even though it’s mostly not known for “news”). It wasn’t run by Fox News hosts either, it produced some fairly progressive or at least pro-scientific content. However it is getting destroyed right now, precisely because it doesn’t fit the agenda of the current government.

    The only solution to this is aligning the government with the people. I’m afraid revolution is the only way to do this (although there is a tiny sliver of hope that it can be resolved without too much violence). Until then ad-“supported” news won’t save you, because they are all fundamentally capitalist. Iskra didn’t have ads in it.

      It is much much too late to save the country I’m afraid. Even now we fight under control deposition and most of you will viciously shout down anybody wanting a winning strategy with our perhaps last chance to take it back in the succession fight.
