They are doing their job... draining the swamp... which exposes all sorts of creatures none of us knew about (although it was kinda obvious the corruption).

Yes keep funding it, and fund Fox and right media as well fairly

No, don't fund any of it

Exactly. THIS is the real corruption. We can all be appalled at some of the bad and stupid foreign aid programs, but at least they were foreign aid. Keep your eye on the bigger "slush fund" issue, from which the Demunists are desperately trying to distract. A large amount of *foreign aid* money that was instead used for *domestic media* to fluff Demunist politicos. A criminal misuse of funds.

Inflammatory morons post this shit. They're PROFESSIONAL subscriptions to do their jobs!!!

Would you say that financial regulators shouldn't have access to Bloomberg?

Health regulators have access to JAMA?

Grow up and stop posting this false crap!

Most media totally corrupt and generally favour right-wing views regardless of any facts that may be present. In Australia, we have Sky News which is 100% bought and paid for by right-wing media moguls like Murdoch.

yes sky news is clearly not news. they find news that supports the right view.
but should it happen with your tax dollars?

[NatalieKeller95]

we need to have nationalist state media

The question of whether the government should fund media is complex. Media independence is crucial for a democratic society, ensuring unbiased reporting. Government funding could potentially lead to conflicts of interest or influence. On the other hand, public funding can support essential journalism that might not be profitable. Transparency and regulation are key to maintaining media integrity if government funding is involved. 📰

can you imagine trump funding something like Fox... and telling them what kinds of stories to run? that's terrible... it's wrong... come on AI

@DrPepper12 The government has no business funding a communist media outlet with taxpayer money

[DrPepper12]
