@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social state run TV is not necessarily bad, the problem is state run TV dedicated to a personality cult, and the suppression of independent media.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social media that is operated for the benefit of the people is inherently going to require a level of independence of the state

@jackielovescompchem32@scicomm.xyz Growing up I was glad in the UK we had the BBC - well it did run half the channels and life would have been very dull without it. It was a genuine source of entertainment, education and news. It stood for high quality and neutrality. Sadly over the years these principles have been eroded, to the point I am annoyed and frustrated by most of its output these days…but the idea of binning it altogether rather than nurturing it back to health seems unthinkable.
